Thanks Steve. Now we know they exist in white. And 9748 costs...... $100
(ouch). Looks like the white 3x3 corners will be very much like the yellow 3x3
corners (from the 7740 Intercity Train) ... namely that they can only be found in
very expensive sets, therefore keeping them RARE! You won't be seeing these in
groups of 50 in an EBAY auction.
Hmmmm, what about LEGO Direct? After all these are "in production" (unlike their
yellow counterparts).
Has anyone seen these in Gray??
