Lar -
Is this the same metallic gray that some of the Bionicle sets use (and I
think one of the new Star Wars or Island Extreme sets used the same color -
can't remember which as all the sets I have bought for parts recently have
become blurred in my mind!)?
It's a sort of almost pearl effect gray/silver with marballised lines
running through the pieces. If so, then this is the same color that LLW used
for their Boeing 747 cockpit model and football cup. I have a modest sized
bag of bricks and plates (1 x X and 2 x X and corners) in this color that I
was wondering what I could use them for.
Now if the cars have the bricks in this same color, then I'll be able to
swap out the light gray from my A and B units which will look pretty cool.
