Boo! Hiss.....By discontinuing existing colors, TLC seems to be shooting itself in the foot (again). Noting the rather large monetary losses shown by TLC last year I have to wonder if this is simply another "focusing on the wrong things" Sounds like (...)

For a person like me, the two greys are distinct colors, one better used with blues (the (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

Hello, I found another variant among my parts: 3058 Plate 6 x 16 with Motor Cutout (URL) The right one has a narrow gap for a plug to the motor, while the left one has a gap in the size of a 1x2 brick. As I have the wide-gap-version one also in (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
