I haven’t bought any of that set since before the color change. I was wondering if anyone has bought that set recently, and if so, could you tell me which shade of brown the pieces are?

Thanks!

I plan on buying 10-20 packs of this item in late October, if you can wait that long for a reply. I’ll be using them either way, whether they’re new or old brown.

My intuition tells me that they are still working from the initial run (old brown) and haven’t re-run them. I think they were produced at a moment of opportunity for TLG rather than as a planned pack. That is my own conclusion and I have no official word on it. I’d imagine that when they sell out, that will be all of that bulk pack. If it were a planned pack, I think we’d have seen the same pack available in other colors.

I don’t mind the wait at all. I’m actually going to use the pieces on a MOC that I’ll be showing in Febuary, plus I don’t have any extra LEGO money right now. (Vikings are just around the corner, so I have to save my cash for that.)

I was pondering the same thing about the opportunistic nature of the 10046 set. It will be unfortunate when LEGO runs out of them, but it will be nice if they’re only ever made in the true brown color.
