(...) Exactly.. as far back as 1999, when I was sorting bricks from 3033's and 2494's I noted that some yellow basic bricks has a very subtle red tinge, where others did not. I just figured that this was an odd red pellet that sneaked into the (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jan-05, to lugnet.color)

I just build a T-REX from this set. I see there (at least) two shades of Dark Red (remember Knjight Bus?). Anyone noticed this? Mold numbers below the parts: 5 01 and 7 01. Part number 43723 Wedge Plate 3 x 2 Left See (URL) (20 years ago, 27-Dec-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) Oh, I just meant it's not really so much the "Knight's Bus" debacle as a "purple in general" debacle. The Knight's Bus was just one of the more recent sets to come with huge amounts of purple. Actually... Hm. I wonder how many sets have come (...) (20 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.color)

Srtrictly conjecture, but I would think that Lego is going to be quite careful in ensuring consistent colors for their fellow Danes at Maersk. Could be quite embarrasing if they didn't (and the Danes noticed). "Tom Stangl, VFAQman" (...) (20 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) In the Knight Bus I assembled 2 days ago there appear to be 2 different shades of purple within the same part. eg. train windows, 4x4 plates and 2x4 bricks. That's just looking at the assembled bus. pete.w ( I have noticed it in the old dark (...) (20 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) Isn't that just purple in general? I thought the reason was pretty much because the mix of dyes that Lego uses for purple ABS was finicky. Hence since certain parts need to be molded for longer, or at different temperatures, or different (...) (20 years ago, 22-Dec-04, to lugnet.color)
