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 blatant one is the raw ABS used for a coal load on one of
the trains.
It's a good theory, but like the man says "It ain't necessarily so."
