Actually, the point is that there are no parts made specifically for models
built in LEGOLAND (any location). All parts have been avaliable to the
consumer at one point in time. There aren't any color/part combos that were
never sold, and no custom parts were molded in order to make a specific
model. Sure some of the parts used are no longer avaliable on the shelves,
but nobody ever said that LEGOLAND models were built only using parts from
the 2001 product line.
Hope that makes sense.

| Jake, They may be feeding you that line, and you may believe it, but it's simply NOT true. Take a very simple example - light blue.
