Hi Jake, could you please ask your colleagues to provide lego numbers? I couldn't decode few of the colors on the LEGO list... (...) I assume color 5, Brick Yellow (Tan in Peeron terminology) (...) Nougat, color 18, looks totally improbable to me. I (...) (22 years ago, 18-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego)

D'oh! I completely forgot to post this yesterday (the first day I had clearance to post). On or around 25 November, there will be one last Spring Cleaning set hitting K-Mart. I'm not actually sure of the details, but just that it's coming. Jake --- (...) (22 years ago, 18-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.announce, FTX) !

It is nice to see that these colors will require review or discussion if a decision would ever be made to change them in the future. This seems like passing an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution - it can be done but would be hard to do. I like that. (...) (22 years ago, 18-Nov-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, FTX)
