(...) I can't remember exactly what got me so excited, but it might have been either the Dark Blue 3x2 Plate Modified With Hole, the Dark Red 1x1 Plate With Clip On Top, or the 2x4 bricks in that Jango Fett Violet colour. Best. Tub. Evar!!!1!1!! (...) (20 years ago, 16-Nov-04, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

(...) If any MUGS can get them, I would like 2 of the 500 extra parts sets and a tie-Y wing set. I'll be able to get payment to you and collect at the Jan Craigieburn meeting. Let me know if you can help, Benjamin Whytcross (20 years ago, 18-Nov-04, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Did Jango's brick come from an actual set ? The medium (between pink and dark pink) pink shade 2x4s seem pretty close to a clone pink colour, as does Jango's violet shade. Cloning the clones ? pete.w (liker of strange colours) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-04, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

If you do some piece research, you'll find that these are most likely production overruns from current or recently-discontinued sets. I haven't found pieces in the three I bought that are in sets older than 2000. As for the pink, that's probably (...) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-04, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) According to Peeron, they are "light green". Not very descriptive I know. They are the same colour as the Paradisa baseplates. The grille tiles on the 8417 Mag Wheel Master are listed as being "aqua", and are a different colour to the bonus (...) (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Hey folks, Does the tub come with old greys or new greys? As a 2004 set I would guess new ones but peeron lists it as having the old ones. Cheers Matthew (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

(...) It seems to be mostly classic greys, with the occasional bley part thrown in. As these are supposedly extra parts originally bound for other sets, I guess they took a while to put together hence they're mostly from pre-2004 sets. ROSCO (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
