They've always used parts in colours that didn't exist. I can remember loads of
times looking at photos of legoland or travelling shows or whatnot and spotting
parts that didn't exist... the wide range of brown in shows in the early 80s
being the most obvious example.

Thanks, Aaron.

Tim,
Yeah, that line is BS.  If I recall correctly one of the buildings in the New
England Village miniland section was Maersk blue.  Way before that color was
available in such a diverse number of elements.  Also, there is a building with
tan 1x2 grill bricks in it as well.

While I found this new peach color intriguing, I don't know if it fits in with
my building style.  I'd give it a shot though, if I had the opportunity.


Thanks again,

Jonathan

All those weird elements on BL have gotta come from somewhere.

I never minded it as a kid and I still don't as an adult. LEGO displays are
about displaying what can be done with bricks and since no child (or more than a
very few adults) has anywhere near enough bricks to build even a fraction of the
official displays using a few colours they can't get to make things look better
is no problem to me at all.
