(...) Is it really purple ? My take is that there is some kind of effect lighting shining on the bus (notice the color glints on the brick edges). The fig is another story tho... the box shows a flesh-tone fig, but the actual fig looks almost (...) (21 years ago, 19-Feb-04, to lugnet.harrypotter)

(...) Forget about the box art and the fig. Look closely at the bricks on the bus. Two different shades of purple. No doubt the bricks are the old purple we've grown to love, and the windows are the new improved purple. Get used to that look, (...) (21 years ago, 19-Feb-04, to lugnet.harrypotter)

I can see where some parts did not prev exist in purple and had to made just for this set (which would mean new shade of purple or even violet) and that the parts in the (...)

I just said to expect to see a lot of future MOCs looking like that, because that's how they're going to look whenever you make something from the new colors that eventually ship and any bricks that (...)
