But clear bricks warrant a lot more study before I can make a generalization • like
that.  I think I'll make clear bricks/plates/slopes  a separate discussion
altogether.  I think I have about 10,000 , so it'll be interesting to see what
variations I can come up with.  Stay tuned.

Trivia question - what LEGO set had the most (no color) clear bricks ever?

Gary Istok

I have a translucent white TV antenna from the late 1970s.  It appears in the
374: Fire Station picture
http://www.lugnet.com/img.cgi?pause/town/lego374.jpg
among other sets.

Other than this one piece, the only other translucent white I've seen is the in
the new glow-in-the-dark pieces.  When did Lego start/stop making this color?
(I await your clear pieces discussion if you wish to discuss this then.)

Thanks,
Naji

I have no chance with the trivia.  :-(

(...) they'll turn that color. But one thing I did notice is that the clear 1x2 plates from the 1960's Architectural parts packs are indistinguishable from those of the Lear Jet (1970's). That means that both are ABS, or they had a lot of CA plates (...) (25 years ago, 5-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
