i happen to have some lego bricks in absolutly weird colors. never knew
where they come from until a fellow collector told me that he has a
friend who is working at a company that made the machines and mold. and
they did lots of testing bricks of which a few were taken out of that
company. to bad that i threw away all the strange bricks.
what do you think? are that bricks counterfeit bricks, clones or real
lego?
