   to date i don’t own any red or yellow axle pins with friction. There were a lot of people claiming their investement in classic grey was useless now that new grey didn’t match.

Ummm, I don’t think I own any grey or bley axle pins with friction. If LEGO ever made any, they’re certainly pretty rare.

What ? You must have missed the Sale ! or the point :o) I was refering to the broader change from old to new grey. How the colour difference was discerning to a LOT of people. This colour difference between blue axle pins and every other non-blue part i own is discerning to me.

   Blue has always been the standard colour for the friction version in everything except Bionicle, it’s only the frictionless ones that changed from grey to tan.


Black friction axle pins were also pretty regular in technic/racer sets a few years ago. These sets were probably the catalyst to the issue as the sets contained black pins, black friction pins and black 2L axles. They were also pitched at a younger audience of builders.


   I also have very few (if any) bley without friction, as I’m pretty sure the change to tan as standard happened before the grey/bley colour change.

I think your right on that one. Chalk one up.
