| | | | | (...) Those certainly are strange! My first thought is that they might be what some of my friends call "hand moulds". Apparently when Lego creates/gets a new mould, they test it in something other than a full-blown production machine. Probably at a (...) (22 years ago, 18-Apr-03, to lugnet.general)

While we would all love for Lego to make 100% perfect bricks, I don't think this ought to be seen as a serious breach of quality control. If they were all in (...)

| | | | | | The tannish bricks are raw ABS with no pigmenting, so they were probably snuck out of one of the plants, or someone threw them in a trash bin instead of shredding them. They were most likely test runs of a mold or the entire molding process - why (...) (22 years ago, 22-Apr-03, to lugnet.general)

The company I work for has one customer who wants parts made in antimicrobial ABS with the intent of painting them afterwards, so we decided not to waste money on having the sheet colored.

| | | | | Well, whatever else they are, they look like they are quite old. I don't think that the molds for the 2 x 4 bricks have the injection points on the ends like that any more.
