(...) I am with Todd and others on this point. I would dispute that claim. I have seen a number of parts in "Maersk(r) light blue" that I am pretty certain have never been sourced into a set or publicly available in bulk. I would challenge you or (...)

I don't want to get into a heated argument here, but Kevin is very right. Legoland has part after part in colors NEVER produced in sets. All you need for proof is to walk around Miniland. While I don't much care what color Lego decides to make (...) (24 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland)

(...) Yep, that's what I have been told. I might have misunderstood about the color/part combo, but I am positive about the parts. They might be 20 years old, but at one point ol' Joe Consumer could have picked up up in a store. I will check on the (...) (24 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland)

(...) Parts maybe but colors is not true. Model builders can order parts from Billund in any of 84 (currently, 141 ever) "colors". Note some "colors" contain sparkles or other textures. Many of these have never been sold to the public. A huge number (...) (24 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland)

Do you mean that every single part that is used in a Legoland model has been available for purchase by Joe Consumer at some point in time (even if it was just a promotional on some ferry traveling between Vunderbagen & (...)

(...) It makes sense, but unfortunately isn't true. I have seen parts in Legoland that have never (IFAIK) been in production. One that leaps out is the 2x2x3 corner slope brick in tan (used in dresses on some of the LL-scale figs). Another, really (...) (24 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland)

(...) Actually, the point is that there are no parts made specifically for models built in LEGOLAND (any location). All parts have been avaliable to the consumer at one point in time. There aren't any color/part combos that were never sold, and no (...) (24 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland)

(...) But that's a bloody blatant lie -- or at best a half-truth. (I don't mean that you're lying, I mean LEGOLAND is.) I mean, LEGOLAND can get: * colors that aren't available to the public * older pieces (in some cases) that are no longer (...) (24 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.legoland)

Duq, my English tourbook translates Sjælland as Zealand; my Danish map has it spelled Sjælland as you suggest. I've often wondered where English translations of foreign places comes from. How do you get 'Germany' out of 'Deutschland'? Thanks for the (...) (24 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.legoland.billund)
