That's a real bummer! :-( This year's new blue-purple color is really something beautiful. Well, it would have been too good to be true. Anyway, these photos we just took are moot with respect to the Gungan Sub, but the issue of different purples is still fun to ponder... Have a look here: http://www.fibblesnork.com/lego/temporary/purples/ This is a limited edition playtable which TLG released last year and which appeared briefly at Wal*Mart stores. It's very difficult to capture the exact tones photographically, so we put a bunch of other actual ABS elements in for comparison. You can see the CyberSlam magenta/purple just below classic LEGO blue, and note that it's quite different from the blue- purple/violet on the playtable. The playtable color is also a bit bluer and lighter than the dark purple tubs that came with the limited edition 1853 Hypno Cruiser. Looking closely at a 1999 German catalog, the purple-blue on the playtable matches (so near as we can figure) the color of the 1999 Belville princess... http://www.lego.com/catalog/eur/productzoom.asp?number=5802 ...and the "fleshy dough-blob kids"... http://www.lego.com/catalog/eur/productzoom.asp?number=2830 http://www.lego.com/catalog/eur/productzoom.asp?number=2831 http://www.lego.com/catalog/eur/productzoom.asp?number=2832 http://www.lego.com/catalog/eur/productzoom.asp?number=2833 http://www.lego.com/catalog/eur/productzoom.asp?number=2834 ...but the photos online don't show the color subtleties quite as well as the printed catalogs. It's fun to hope that someday TLG might release the purple-blue playtable color in real elements! Has anyone seen the '99 Belville or Little Forest Friends sets IRL yet? --Todd & Suz [followups set to lugnet.general]
