|
| (...) Yeah, this is bad juju. Nobody wants grey elements that don't match with light and dark grey as we have known them. I don't necessarily mind additions to the color scheme as we know it, but to eliminate the greys is just madness. I don't even (...)

| (...) Sorry, Josh, but it's not. The discoloring effect does happen in odd environments, but not like this. I noticed the "bluing" in the dark grey when I bought the Star Destroyer the other day; I initially wondered if it was the light, but yester- (...)

| Looks like The Lego Group is finally cutting corners (literally) in order to compete with cheap clone brands. Is this the end of good-quality Lego?, or is this merely a bad batch of product? -HRH (22 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| (...) I disagree. I took a look at my Mini Star Destroyer and noticed the blue tinge to the dark grey, but initially thought it was the light of the room. But the color is quiet different, and I can pretty much say that I don't smoke, and neither (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| Josh..in my house NO ONE SMOKES and I have noticed some 6 months ago that when you put alot of dark gray tiles together they do not match( I used a large number on that pepsi building roof edge and a ton on that road in my flatiron block) This is (...)

| I just went to the one in my county, the Palisades Lego store today (11/14/2003). :-) I felt like a 5 yr old in a candy store. Didn't buy anything from that store yet, it was only for reconaissance. ;-) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.org.us.gardenslug, lugnet.loc.us.nj, lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Okay.... what happened? Did Lego hire fired workers from clone brands like MegaBloks, Best Lock? This is really sad..... I think each of us should start making emails and letters expressing our concerns as loyal Lego customers. (22 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

The old peices have what i consider "Smokers tinge", my peices from my youth have simlar discoloring, and my father smokes... I think its the tar in the (...)

| Hi all, This is from a friend of mine, Gareth Bowler: Got into my first 2004 sets today; the MINI star destroyer set, and promptly scrapped them for parts, only to find, to my shock and dismay, that the colors don't match. Further more, the studs (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX) !!

They were made in the 1960s, and look like this: [LDrawPart 650:15] 650 Hinge Coupling-Nylon I've colored it completely white there, but it's really more of a translucent white.

| | | | | What part is this?

The part consists of 2 2x2 flat plates connected via a thin somewhat flexible section. its (...) (22 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.general)
