 | | I Just Don't See It —Chris Phillips
|
| | | So I've tried to forget about the color change and focus on sorting my LEGO and building some new models. While sorting, I've been keeping in the back of my mind what many have said: that LEGO has always had color variances in the pieces. Well after (...) (21 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | (...) Mark, Would you believe that I have multiple of the same part ( Technic, Liftarm 1 x 7 with Fan, p/n 32177) which came from R2-D2 that exhibit both of the shades that your picture shows above. I'm not convinced that both colors exist so much (...) (21 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| | | | | | | (...) I bought a 2004 mini Star Wars set at the Imagination Center at the Mall of America last week, just to check out these new colors. There is a big different between the 'classic' dark grey and the new dark blue-grey, and a smaller difference (...) (21 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| | | | | | | | (...) Ditto here last week (well, ok, not at the Mall of America). I'm on the 'Xmas' rule right now, which states quite clearly that I'm not to buy any Lego for myself until AFTER Xmas, but this was obviously an exception, since I NEED to see the (...)

When the bricks are snapped together the color shift becomes obvious to me but not to my wife... although, I don't think she even looks when I ask :) I just recieved (...)

| | | | | I bought 5 5230 Explore tubs from Boscov's. They are supposed to have 10 orange or med yellow orange 2x2 duplo bricks in them. One tub had 10 all the same color. The other 4 tubs ALL had 8 "light orange" and 2 "orange". What was worse was when I put (...) (21 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.general)

A few other parts in this color were found in the recent Walgreens boxes. (...) The greens in (...) (20 years ago, 26-Nov-04, to lugnet.general)

Interestingly enough, I think that Cellulose Acetate white bricks keep their whiteness better than ABS (...) (20 years ago, 27-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
