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.
There were, what, TWO sets that had lt blue bricks/plates in them previous to
this year, both Maersk sets?
There is NO WAY you can build the SF Victorian house at LLC using strictly the
lt blue parts from Maersk sets. Look at
http://people.netscape.com/toms/Legoland/Legoland185.jpg to see one of the MANY
light blue items. I'll try to take better pics next week showing closeup
details of this and other items that use parts cast in colors never released to
the public to date.

| (...) I believe that the Maersk sets are still the only sets with *that* light blue color in them. I think there is a general misconception that LOM light blue & Maersk light blue are the same, which they are not. Jonathan (24 years ago, 12-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland)
