Well i put The Rhino together on Friday
and appart from the usual blue axle pins, grey odd length axles and red 2L
axles, no parts seemed to breach any standard colour rules.
One thing of mention is that the Black 3L friction pins and the Black friction
pins with bushes came in the same baggies making it quite difficult to find the
right part. The red friction pins with bushes were in a separate bag.
Perhaps the standard colour part rule is not to make it easier for childeren to
identify parts easier as we suspected. I am beginning to believe it is not
entirely for production costs either. That leaves us with the standard “We
didn’t think the community would care to greatly about the change so we didn’t
include them in the focus group when we testted the new colours”, or something
to that effect.
I think i’ll rebuild the Rhino in Red and Blue and report back.
Steve

| I have been objective to the standard part colour combinations from TLG for a few years now. This post is not a bashing of new greys or browns. Axles have always been black, so to friction pins. Many parts have always been produced in few colours. (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jul-06, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.color, lugnet.parts, FTX) !!
