(...) If this is part #3048, then there is one in gray in 6818 Cyborg Scout. You can't see it in the lugnet picture, becuase its immediately behind the robot. These are still seen occasionally on store shelves for $3 or less. Ray (24 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) As a fan of blue slopes in particular, I consider the blue 2x2 outside-corner slopes to be beyond "scarce". The last set I know that contained them was a Basic set in the mid-80s. Prior to that there were two in a '70s "Model Team" set (one of (...) (24 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)
