| I found this in my inventory last week. The first is these new brackets. The
brick with clip is normal Dark Bluish Gray, the bracket on the bottom is normal
Light Bluish Gray. The two in the middle, well, ???. I know this happens when
they change colors in the molding machine, I just never saw two with that much
difference before
The second is a slope I found and I can't really explain the speckle. It
is a LEGO part, seems to be mostly Light Bluish Gray. When I looked at it through
a loop, as you can see here, it has small shafts of black. I would expect round
beads, but not shafts.
Does anyone know how the slope got speckled?
Anyone interested in owning them?

| It looks darker on the photo than it actually is, difficult to say. My guess
is it is regular Orange.

| So I have been going through a small packet of these:
And I come across a colour that I cannot identify.
The left oil can is of a colour that is darker than either old dark grey or dark
bluish grey. Yet it is not black. So what is it?
Apologies if the colours don't come through very well; I took the photo in
bright outdoor light, with the Texas sun at just after high noon. If that isn't
natural light, then anyone's guess on that definition. Background is a sheet
of white foam-board.
Gurus of LEGO colour, I call upon you.

Thx

The photo makes it look like regular Orange, but I am sure you checked that.
So if it isn't regular Orange, that leaves Earth Orange and Medium Orange.
Earth Orange is the darker of the two, so I would assume it is that one:

However, I would check against Medium Orange, also, just to be sure:

Comments from Submitter:
Have a sealed minifig pack with that head plus the instructions show that one.
|
Everything I've found says that although the set box and instructions do
show the figure with the standard grin pattern, the set actually came with the
head as shown in the current inventory.
Since I cannot verify the accuracy of this request, the request was not approved.
For reference I have attached a photo showing how the set appears when the box
is first opened.

You are correct. The changeover from older grays and brown to the newer shades
occurred in 2004.

Proof is a correction sheet which I've uploaded as extra instruction image. Will also post it as reponse to this request in forum. At least some of these sets come with this change. If this is considered a redesign, feel free to change match ID to 99.

I don't have this set, so I'm curious why this change was made. It would
seem to me that it would be making the structure less stable, but I'm only
seeing this initial page.

Maybe they temporarily ran out of 4x6 plates, or maybe they had accidentally
packed a million sets with wrong pieces and needed a quick solution?

| Yes I removed it from a factory sealed set. I was given the minifigs to put in
my collection and someone else had the set.

Wee bit of a problem with your photo. The set includes one complete minifigure.
That's one head, one torso assembly, and one legs assembly. You said in
your original post:

|
Your photo of the sealed bag from the set shows two torso assemblies, two legs
assemblies, and three heads with no other parts. That ain't quite right,
friend. 
In fact, it's way off. Did you personally take that bag out of a factory-sealed
set which had not been tampered with?

The system does not directly notify anyone of changes to set inventories.
| | Would I get notified that an item I have for sale has been modified?
|
No, you would not be notified.
| | Does it get automatically moved from my store to my stockroom until I verify the change?
|
No, this does not occur.
| | Inventory changes seem to happen all the time for sets and it doesn't seem
to cause much of an issue, so wouldn't minifigs just be treated the same
way?
|
Yes, changes do frequently occur in set inventories. I have never been told
why minifigures are treated differently.
However, any issues regarding what officially constitutes a minifigure should
be addressed to the catalog administrators. These issues are not inventory issues
because the catalog entry for a minifigure predetermines what the inventory of
that minifigure includes.

That's correct. In 2006 LEGO changed Light Gray to Light Bluish Gray, Dark
Gray to Dark Bluish Gray and Brown to Reddish Brown. So all sets from after 2006/2007
have these 3 new colors and all before have the old colors. So the old colors
become more and more rare - especially in new conditions.
