(...) Bleach is great for dirt, but yellowing of ABS is caused by a chemical breakdown of the plastic molecules, not surface dirt. ABS is not UV-stable, and natural ABS (which has a milky beige color) will turn brown and brittle/powdery over time. (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) These boxes were most likely filled with production leftovers... quality is a mixed bag (I've had half a dozen bad 2*3 sloped light-grey so far) but there's a nice selection. I've so far "raided" about 12 stores and have discovered that (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.no)

(...) I just saw the new colors in person, so now I can make an informed assessment. I ordered a few sample pieces from BrickLink so I could see what all the fuss is about.
