(...) WAY cool. So, I read what I could find and I can't tell, do I get 1x1 bricks or 1x1 plates (the latter preferred!!)?? Who has an image that is 1/5 of each of the 5 possible colors? :-) ++Lar (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) Unless things have changed from when it was "premiered" at Legoland California, it's plates. Of course, for some reason when I first read about it I parsed "plates" as "tiles", and so even plates are a bit of a letdown... :D (...) It probably (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)

It looks to me like the only colors you can get now are: white, light gray, gray, dark gray, and black :-( (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) then the third (lightest) gray corresponds to Suz's "GRAY+2, SCALA 1997 as in stove top (light gray)." This then is a pretty rare color as it has never appeared in System or Technic sets/pieces. BEN (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.general)
