Lime
Dark Purple
Medium Lavender
Bright Pink
Medium Azure
Magenta
colors typically associated with Friends sets

I sell a lot of Medium Azure, though not as much as Medium Blue, which is extremely
popular over the past year. I also sell a lot of Dark Purple, though far more
specialty parts than regular bricks, plates, or tiles. And I sell a TON of Lime.
Out of all of those, Magenta is easily the worst seller for me, and Medium Lavender
and Bright Pink are also low, about the same level as Dark Pink, Medium Nougat,
and Trans-Orange. As to the OP, Lime sells far better than Orange. But IMO, Magenta
is the lowest seller.

I think I will keep your store in mind. It may be a couple of months, though
- I have two further projects to complete, but at least I already have vehicle
mudguards in Dark Purple, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find the right
parts to build a Dark Purple and Black Ford Mustang convertible.

There used to be an all times most/least sold list. Does anyone know if this
still exists?

I've used Medium Azure in a couple of my projects, and I plan to order parts
in Lime and maybe Dark Purple later this year. As for Medium Lavender and Magenta,
the only parts that I've ever used in those colors were the hair bows that
can be used with mini-doll and some minifigure hair pieces. I have absolutely
no use for Bright Pink in my projects, so I would say Bright Pink would be even
less popular than Orange or Lime... but that's just my opinion.
|
Oh, I'm not saying that no one buys these colors, just that in my experience
they don't sell well. I just got rid of some parts in the colors listed above
that had been languishing in my store for *checks notes* three years.
(Maybe part of the issue is that the parts that come in these colors are themselves
unpopular anyway!)
By all means keep my store in mind when you're looking for Dark Purple; I
have quite a bit of it at the moment.

Yes magenta too. Glad I don't have pounds of that color in my store.

Of those two? I sell lime at a 20:1 ratio to Orange. Typically the very small
stuff like 1x1 round tiles.

The LEGO Group released a new color which they call "Trans-Black"
Unfortunately, BrickLink already has a color called "Trans-Black"
TLG refers to this color as "Trans-Brown"
To avoid confusion, the catalog people decided to adopt TLG's naming conventions
For the time being, Trans-Black has been renamed to "Trans-Brown (Old Trans-Black)"
The new color, when it is introduced, will be called "Trans-Black (2023)"
Eventually, the stuff in parentheses will be removed
It appears that TLG intends to eventually phase out Trans-Brown in favor of Trans-Black
More on that here: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1402419

It sounds like Rebrickable needs to respond to a change at Bricklink.

Rebrickable will just have to adjust it on their end as well?

They’re still looking for the same color. Send buyers a link to the discussion.
People need to familiarize themselves with the forum.

Since Trans-Black is already taken on BrickLink, we could call it Trans-White.
Trans-White is still available.

May we have pictures of the individual pieces for comparison please?

We will need more reviews:

Image from later in the video.
Docent look Black to me more like some sick medium blue color.
We really need a image where the both the new color and the old are side by side.
And i agree with other people in here.
You don't change a name that been in the database for over 20 years, you
make a new one.
|
I disagree. There’s no reason to create more confusion for the next 20 years.
LEGO isn’t going to change their color names, so we should try our best to match
their names going forward. Calling the current smoky color Trans-Black was a
terrible choice from the start.

Agreed. I don’t think it’s a good idea to change the old name. A new name for
the new colour would seem best since other colour names arnt based off how lego
has them so why do we need this one to if it will be at the cost of a very well
known name

It looks great!!
I guess this is the first goodbye to 111 Transparent Brown? LEGO’s recent transparent
purge is pretty strange. Still very sad to see Trans-Neon Green following suit.
|
hold up, trans-neon green is going away? is there an article on this?
|
Yup. No more Trans-Neon Green after this year. I don’t think there’s an article
on this, which is surprising given that it is a beloved color.
|
Source? I thought that just Trans-Neon Orange retired (possibly due to formula
issues with the new plastic).
