I am with Todd and others on this point.
I would dispute that claim. I have seen a number of parts in "Maersk(r)
light blue" that I am pretty certain have never been sourced into a set or
publicly available in bulk. I would challenge you or anyone to provide a set
or combination of sets available in 1999 that had, for instance, tiles in
1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x2 round, 1x4, 1x6 and 1x8, all of which I (and others) have
seen in Legoland models in that very color, in 1999. MLB is a very rare color.

I think you'd be farther ahead to just claim that every part type has been
available, and every color has been available, while expressly disclaiming
the claim that every part/color combo has been. Just my opinion, of course,
but it is a statement most of us would readily accept, I would expect.
I realise that since you didn't sign this officially, you're just providing
your opinion, which is a good thing. I'd advise that you not let TLC make
the claim you personally are making if you can avoid it, as it is incorrect
and likely to cause a ruckus, as it is now.
