Hi,
I got my 8455 Backhoe out of the box yesterday. What puzzled me were
strange colors of some parts.
In older Technic sets, some colors were tied to parts, for example 32002
(technic pin 3/4) was always DkGray.
Now it seems that all odd lengths axles are gray. But, is there any
purpose of different colors when it comes to 32054 (technic pin long
with stop bush) - backhoe has both black and blue and I can't understand
that. They seem functionally the same and are invisible on the model, so
the aesthetics is not probably the reason.
The same applies to 3749 (Technic Axle Pin) which is Tan here (were
always Gray, replaced by Tan in 2003???), and 43093 (Technic Axle Pin
with Friction) which is blue (were black, now blue?). Again, the
aesthetics can't be the reason as they're invisible.
