| | Hello,
So I am well aware of the "sun burnt" effect on white, blues, yellows, the old
light grays and among other colors, however I am sorting through quite a bit
of used Lego with the old light grays and I pulled quite a bit of them out believing
they were discolored by the sun. Upon closer inspection, they appear to be quite
uniform in their color, including underneath, just definitely a different shade
than the others and not quite like the "sun burnt" ones. Does anyone else out
there recall issues with Lego having off color batches on old light grays in
the past like they have trouble with now on the new light bluish grays and yellows?
Thanks in advance for everyone's time.
Sincerely,
Ken

| I missed that bit about the catalogue, hopefully there is some reference number
on it of some sort.
If we find more info in the future the number could be altered or confirmed.

He wants to add it to the catalog, so it won't have to be listed as a custom

| Neither the red or white are listed as known colours for 31b, I assume it's
because no set has been identified with these included.
Both are already for sale.

I had to open the screen for 31bc01 to see there was an item with the number

____END____
@StormChaser: I used Americanisms throughout. If you want a cut 'n paste
copy with HTML mark-up (with no footnotes) then message me your email and I will
send it to you.
This was more difficult than I had anticipated, and took a lot of research, writing
and re-writing, checking over and checking over again, and so on. However, it
is the start of what will probably be a great series of discussions, so I will
not be offended if any or all of the above work is changed/removed/obliterated,
etc.
There were places I could have written reams of information, but I realised this
was not part of the remit. Hwever, I had to provide some footnotes to keep my
insanity and know where I was confused or had difficulty in providing a definition.
Footnotes:
1 There are no items in the catalogue under the 'Legacy' category.
2 The term ‘magnet’ has two meaning, in this case.
3 Set does not fit into the 'Mini' category!
4 Hair can be shared between ‘minifig’ and ‘minidoll’ see
5 The complete assembly characters (like the goblins) fit in the second
part of the definition of this category.
6 Hair can be shared between ‘minifig’ and ‘minidoll’ see
7 Second part was to be split out under discussion ‘Minifigure, Head,
Faceless’ (1010)
8 I could not work this category out, so I copied the description Dan
wrote.
9 "All but three of these sets were models of a form of vehicle and many
of these sets were duplications of sets released within the LEGOLAND (theme).",
Source: Brickipedia
10 There is no ’Modulex Tile’ category!?
11 This is more of a ‘tag’ than a category.
12 There are four sets ; ; ; and,
in this category.
a It always makes me giggle when I see the use of the word (and forms
of the word) ‘mold’ or ‘mould’, particularly in the context of bricks, as we
are talking here. Imagine the term “molded design” as a brick designed to carry
a fungi ecosystem on it, rather than a plastic heat- and pressure-formed designed
shape.
Since the English language is unique to most languages of the world being that
it is has freedom to form and re-form, lets now refine the words mold and mould.
Right here goes: ‘mold’ is a “frame for shaping something”; and, ‘mould’
is “a furry growth of minute fungi”. I will inform Mariam-Webster and
Oxford of the changes they need to make to their dictionaries.
END Footnotes
It was all intense though, I actually enjoyed finishing this work (didn’t enjoy
doing it as much).

else I'm doing.
Could list them at a higher price but then they wouldn't sell.

That might be a problem with these. They do take time to sort and list, and possibly
not worth it if they are just pennies each.

| The lip is the base of the window, effectively the external window sill, triangular
in shape and protrudes more on some versions earning the extended lip classification.
Much easier to see if you have both versions.

| | A quick question: How do i identify whether a window has an extended lip or not?
such as on item number 31, there are multiple different similar mold types and
apart from the stud differences im not seeing where this "lip" is.
I have a ton of vintage parts to list and have ground to a halt at the first
hurdle.
Also I'm not sure how to hyperlink to the exact page of the item. I would
be very grateful if anyone could show me that also!
Many thanks in advance.

| Still don't know what to make of it, got me puzzled.
In Catalog Identification, normann1974 writes:

I've taken a picture of what the inside looks like. There are 8 sets of "walls"
that go up against each other - one coming from the top part of the brick, one
coming from the bottom. My guess is that they're glued together. There is
is one set of walls under each stud.
I split one of my old 7049b's today, and it's clear to me that they're
not the same inside. And 3907c has tubes inside, so it's not that either.
Because both top and bottom of my brick look official, my best guess is that
it's a prototype.
I don't know where I got it from, but my best guess it that it was in a box
of 6 kilos of used bricks I bought a couple of months ago. That box had approx.
1000 yellow minifig heads without print (and only a few other minifig parts)
and 72 blue left doors without a single right one, and around 500 maxifig parts
(heads/torsos/arms/hands but almost no hair/hats). So I bet those parts originally
came directly from the factory in Billund, and that white brick could have been
in that mix.

| Definitely possible as there are many more than those shown in that one image.

I agree. You can see where the drill bit went through the tubes inside the brick.

I ask again like I did earlier in this thread: If this brick was customized (by
drill), what part was it made from?
/Jan
|
Possibly from this?
David
|
I've never seen 7049 with opaque white bottom. Does it exist?
/Jan
|
With all of these variations that exist, maybe?

| Now that looks different again.
The only part that comes to mind is 7049.
Does each end have similar holes to the ones you've shown ?

I didn't think of that, but that's probably it. The holes are a bit unevenly
positioned (maybe 1/10th of a mm, but it's clear by comparison).
Thanks.

Well, I just thought about it some more. If it was a customized brick, what part
was it made from? I can't think of any.
BTW - It has "Pat. pend" in the bottom.

Why not 3709c?

Because 3709c is made from two parts (notice the line in the picture), and it
doesn't exist in white.
