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 certain elements; I understand other people's
frustration. Maybe the Lego sign thingy should read "These have been made of
Lego that you may or may not be able to buy, but you can fill in the parts
you can't buy with other parts that you can. So there, LLC" ;-D

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 custom parts were molded in order to make a specific
model. Sure some of the parts used are no longer avaliable on the shelves,
but nobody ever said that LEGOLAND models were built only using parts from
the 2001 product line.


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 of parts used in the models were never sold
to the public in thier specific color.

P.S. the two digit _number_ on some elements is the "color" id.
