Well I just went back to the 2000 catalog to have a look. If you look on this
page I actually see Yellow, Red, Black, and White click hinges all on this one
page.

There are the yellow ones on the digger plus there might be a black on
attaching the digger arm to the body of the truck. Then if you look at the new
fire station the light on the side of the station is made up of a white and red
click hinge combination and on the fire truck the support leg is a white w/red
stripe hinge connected to the truck with a black click hinge.
It is funny I saw so many on this page where I don't see any on the other
pages. Although I am sure at least the B-Wing has some for its wings but I
expect them to be the Gray-male dkGray-female combination we have seen so much
of allready.
