No this is no joke. If it were, it would be no laughing matter. I don't want to get everyone into an uproar here, but let me put it this way..... if it were up to Lego Direct, they would sell us any part in any color, more than likely. But yes, (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Element 30056, New in 1996 (a Pirate set and a Paradisa set). Quite rare, so far only seen in red in this very set. (Peeron mentions a Freestyle set I didn't have a reference for). -- joshua -- joshua (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) I like this part, but not as much as the straight rail. In $20 red bucket 4128 it became common in white in 1997. This was the bucket Mike Stanley tried to purchase in bulk at Legoland, but Fred Meyer stores got them instead: (URL) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.general)

(...) That's the set that peeron mentioned. But I don't think one set makes it a common element. Still, that's two sets that have featured it in white (2 each), while there was one set with 2 in green, while 3451 had the whopping (heh) 4 in red. The (...)
