Hi,

I got these (listed as VLBG) and they seem pretty dark for VLBG... just wondering
if anyone has any insights (Lego logo on top, they look legit).

Probably Light Bluish Gray that just didn't get enough colorant. Are they
a little more translucent than normal when held up to the light?

They are very much opaque.

Also, ignore the top of those labels. I'm not very familiar with the Lego
names, so it's easy for me to get those wrong and not notice.

I too think they're LBG lacking colorant. They are not nearly light enough
to be VLBG.

Looking at those labels - medium stone grey is light stone gray and dark stone
grey is dark bluish gray.
