I recently got the new Technic R2D2 set (8009). It has several parts with
the new dark blue color.
Some of the dark blue parts were noticeably translucent while the others
were quite solid in color. TLC must still be working on their pigment
mixture for these new "dark" colors.
I think the translucent parts are alright in appearance, provided there is
no significant light source behind them. However, I do prefer the solid color.
Has anyone else bought the 8009 set? Are your dark blue pieces translucent?
