Colors and shapes available are different everytime I go (once a month) and
the master builder shop at the center of the park seems to run on it's own
schedual. I've seen tons of them orange and light blue available. I think
it may hve to do with what they need/don't need for master builder projects
at the park and the need to clear out the store house for new stuff. But I
R guessing...
Best,
