Re: How to maximize 90-piece bags? —Jon Kozan

(...) There may be a problem here. An earlier post referred to Light Gray as being the standard Gray, with the new color being Medium Gray, not (scala) Light Gray. Thus the Scala Gray may not be the new 'gray' used in the Mosaic... (I'm confusing (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Re: How to maximize 90-piece bags? —Ben Gatelle

Re: How to maximize 90-piece bags? —John Neal

If this helps any-- the new color is a shade *between* the current gray and the current dark gray. It isn't Scala lite gray. (That's the way it was on the example mosaic at the Kidvention) -John (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Shades of green (was Re: How to maximize 90-piece bags?) —Tom Stangl

No, the green BURP (and the green ladder in 5855) is darker than standard green.

Re: Shades of green (was Re: How to maximize 90-piece bags?) —Charles Eric McCarthy

(...) I agree. I was just looking at these this morning, and I see no difference between the regular green bricks, the green BURP, and the green ladder from 5855.
