Concerning these two parts specifically in Dark Brown....

I recently acquired set 6073-1 complete in the box, and it looks barely touched
since it was opened. All the pieces are in like new condition and all the feathers
are still on the sprues and the pamphlet is even in the box. Curiously, the bows
and quivers are dark brown instead of the standard brown, or at least they appear
dark brown compared to standard brown parts I have.

While it is hardly proof that this is a possible source of these pieces in this
color, it's a pretty strong indication. I just thought some people might
find it an interesting find.

Hi All,

I have a couple of clone and stormtroopers that are yellowing; because of this
I have put away almost anything that’s predominantly white.

What’s the best way of removing this if at all possible? I know about using peroxide
and uv light or sunlight but I am concerned this will remove the print from the
minifigures.
Thank you for your time.

Jorge

This one is for the old timers.
Way back in 2005 toys’rus sold these tubs that had a box strapped to the top
with 500 pieces “free”

I have checked the inventory on Bricklink, but there were 2 different boxes and
there is only 1 inventory.

Anyway, I am looking at some 2 x 4 bricks which have been stored away in clipseal
bags for 17 years.
This is because I cannot be 100% certain of the 2 colours

I believe one might be lilac and the other possibly Lavender, but I need to be
certain

Can anyone help ?

Thanks , Slim

I downloaded my inventory from Rebrickable as a .csv file. In the color column
it starts with 0 (zero). What color is 0, please?

Hi everyone.

I recently bought Mos Eisley Cantina (75290) and noticed the Metallic Silver
lightsaber hilts, looks much different compared to other sets such as the one
from the Imperial Shuttle (75302). I have attached an image below of the two
lightsabers, supposedly in the same colour.

The one on the left is from the Cantina and looks really great, in fact it looks
pretty close to chrome silver, just not as shiny. The difference might not be
so obvious on the image, but the lightsaber hilt on the right is very "grainy"
(no it is not dust), darker and much more matte. I really like the colour from
the Cantina, but I hate the one from the shuttle, but does anyone know how to
only buy the shiny variant on bricklink, since it is listed as the same colour?

Search for Nougat Sets in the Color Guide.
Just look at 2022 sets.
You will find many sets which actually do not include any Nougat pieces ..

Nougat is not Medium Nougat.

A famous example for those beautiful nougat bricks is 71741, Ninjago Ciry Gardens.

thnx, bye bricklink is still great!

Hi,

I was sorting some pieces I from a new set, and I noticed that the 59349 trans-light
blue panel was noticeably lighter than the one from another set, which was also
new (Set 80109 vs. 60347).

I reached out to Lego, and they said that sunlight or cigarettes could cause
the color change... but these are both new sets, and I generally take care of
my pieces.

For my customers, how do I differentiate the panels that are "lighter" trans-light
blue and "darker" trans-light blue?

I feel like if I were a customer, I would not accept parts that had a mix of
the two.

Any input appreciated! Thanks!
Mike

What shade of grey are the 3 middle clips?

For comparison, the ones on the left are light grey, the ones on the right are
light bluish grey and below are dark grey and dark bluish grey.

thanks in advance.
