Hi Bill,
here is annother theory for the red ghost and it sounds logical for me.
First the facts:
All 6 red ghosts were bought here in Berlin/Germany on a fleemarket in autumn
2000.
They were from the same dealer, who has a lot of bags with used lego, regular
parts from regular Sets. The ghosts were among theese parts in the bags.
One ghost was not molded like the others, a little bit was missing, like if
there has not been enough ABS in the machine when it was made.
In Berlin there was (or still is?) a company, which developed molding forms for
TLC.
Now the theory:
The ghosts were prototypes, made with a new molding form by this company, which
was developed when the ghost part was introduced (1989-1990).
They used red ABS because you can best see, proof and measure the parts (may be
with light shining through and other methods) when they are red.
That will explain why the ghosts are red and why one ghost was missing a little
bit, too.
Regards
Ronald
