What is justifying the use of BLUE Technic Pin 1/2 -
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4274 ? more precisely in Technic sets such as
8436 Truck (http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/8436-1) instead of the good old gray
ones (please no "joke" on gray color issue thanks).

I think they are using different colors for different pins
to make building easier, so younger children can do it.
And blue for the half-pin seems to be the standard now.


This makes sense since the even length axles are now black and the odd length
ones are now light grey.  Axle pins have also gone to a single color, tan if I
recall.

(...) Pins with friction are now a different colour to pins without friction. Tim (20 years ago, 17-Jan-05, to lugnet.color, lugnet.parts, lugnet.technic)
