  Re: Which piece is available in the most colours?
 
I think you are correct. I sorted out my teal parts the other day after disassembling some Rock Raiders and Cyberslam sets, and found at least one 1x2 brick in teal (along with some 1x2x2 bricks in teal too). "Jeff Johnston" <sakura@mediaone.net> (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) Anyone know exactly when this metamorphosis took place? I thought it was back around 1995, but I just got a bunch of 1997 sets that do not have the notched grille tiles. Some copies of the exact same set *do* have them, however. It is very (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)
