(...) 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)

(...) OK, I would find it a bit of a leap that TLC would ship it like that. 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 (...)
