I don't want to get into a heated argument here, but Kevin is very right.
Legoland has part after part in colors NEVER produced in sets. All you need
for proof is to walk around Miniland. While I don't much care what color
Lego decides to make certain elements; I understand other people's
frustration. Maybe the Lego sign thingy should read "These have been made of
Lego that you may or may not be able to buy, but you can fill in the parts
you can't buy with other parts that you can. So there, LLC" ;-D
