| Hello, I bought Conquistador Helmet TAN color and I can't find the set where
it came from. Not in the sets/minifigures listed on the set. Is this legit?

| A few years ago I saw some large German sellers that had headgears etc. in other
than ‘catalog’ colors.
All real Lego but sold at special occasions or in Legoland if I am right. And
these were sold by Lego so legit.
Maybe this is the case with yours too.

Tan is the color that LEGO uses to produce metallic gold parts. The part exists
in metallic gold in the collectible minifigs series. It just left the factory
before it got its coating.

About 5 or 6 years ago, one of the Chinese stores that sell mainly print faults
and unprinted parts had a few hundred of these. That might be the source.

If thats true thats interesting to know. I'm aware of unreleased colours
but never really gave it much thought as to why that might be (apart from red
prototypes etc..) but since I have Breastplates in Tan and also Viking helmets
in Tan it would certainly make sense as these you would expect to find in colours
like gold or silver and maybe a few other colours but certainly not Tan
Could it be that these Reddish Bown Dwarf helemts were intended to be Copper?

Yes, I was also thinking about the Dwarf and Viking helmets  I had some helmets
in Light Bluish Gray (for metallic silver) and Tan (for metallic gold). I never
had any Reddish Brown, but yes, Copper would make sense as (at least this type
of) Copper seems to be the same kind of metallic coating as the other two. And
maybe there are also some black parts out there that should be Speckle Black
Silver?

In fact the more I think about it the more this seems to ring true as you have
this Troll King only found in one set but some came with Reddish Brown Crown
and some with a Copper Crown. My inital thought was that Lego made a mistake
and manufactured in the wrong colour or simply had a change of mind mid production
when it actually sounds likely they just had a quality control issue where they
forget the coating

Ha, that crown came to my mind, I didn't know it came out in Copper as well
- so yes that makes sense. Reminds of this variation;
Which also came out in the same year. Maybe because of costs or some production
reasons there can be variation in whether the print/coating is applied.
