I received this sword and it is clearly Pearl Dark Gray in color, have been looking
for one in Dark Bluish Gray. I can't find any sets on the website that include
this sword in Pearl Dark Gray, so where did it come from?

Hi

I recently sold a silver chrome 3001 which the buyer is not happy with saying
its an anniversary edition. Does anyone know of any specific variants?
I naively thought a silver chrome 3001 was a silver chrome 3001.
Cheers
Rob

Hi,
I'm going through some old Lego Star Wars Lego sets.
At the moment I'm looking at 10188 Death Star.
I didn't even open all the boxes on this set and all parts or original.
See the 2 x images below:
The image on the left is slightly less 'blueish' then the one on the
right.
Flipped over (the less blueish one is now on the right), the underside is a lot
more glossy where as the (IMO) true light blueish grey is a more matt finish
on the underside.
There are about 8 of each in this set and all of the left have one shade, all
of the other have the slightly different shade.
I think I'm seeing this in other Star Wars sets from around the same too
where the greys are ever so slightly different.
Why is this? Have I somehow mixed pieces up - which would be difficult seeing
as I don't have those lager grey pieces anywhere else?
Appreciate some advice!

Hi!

I collect all kinds of bricks and parts, and the goal of my collection is to
have 1 of every colour of every type of brick/part/element. So for example, 1
of every colour of part 3021. But the problem I keep coming across is that when
I go on a catalog page for a part, often there are many more colour variants
for sale than there are colours that are known. For example, going back to part
3021, I know for a fact that there is a pearl light grey colour variant because
I own one, and yet it is not listed as a known colour. Other people are also
selling part 3021 in pearl light grey so I don't know why it isn't a
known colour.

Can someone please explain to me why there is very frequently a difference between
the colours for sale and the known colours? I appreciate that occasionally a
seller might misidentify a colour (e.g. sell it as Medium Nougat when it is actually
Nougat), and that even less occasionally there might be some fakes entering circulation
on the market, but surely this doesn't account for the many catalog items
lacking known colours when they are for sale? It is making it very difficult
as a collector to know if I should purchase colours that are for sale but are
not "known" in case they are not genuine or are mislabelled.

All opinions appreciated.

Many thanks,
Lucas

Hello! I was wondering if the same colour shades for bricks get changed over
the years. For example, would a black or dark bluish grey brick today be the
exact same shade the same brick had 20 years ago or more? I know there are different
types of shades for colours like blue or grey, but a brick listed as being dark
bluish grey today and one listed as being dark bluish grey in the 90s or 2000s
are the exact same brick, right?

The red variant of https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2546p02#T=S&C=6&O={%22color%22:%226%22,%22iconly%22:0}
does not exist. It is not part of a set and has no images. Its existence is just
a result of people disagreeing whether the green or the red part of the parrot
is the base color. Therefore, the red version should be removed from the catalog.

Earlier today someone ordered a pair of violet hips and legs. Without paying
much attention, I reached into the appropriate drawer and pulled one out. In
the picture, the hips & legs on the right are correct violet. The hips on the
left are violet, but the legs are some weird color that looks approximately like
slate gray. As these are the spring loaded hips & legs, they all came out of
the 2003 NBA collectors sets, which means they are all now ~20 years old.

Is this Transparent Neon Orange? This color was retired(?) at the end of 2021,
but the official renders for this part sure look like they use this color. Rebrickable
has the following note: “Bricklink and Brickowl inventory this as Trans-Orange
even though the part is Trans-Neon Orange.”

Two of these renders come directly from LEGO. This part is probably 47 marbled
with Transparent Brown. Most parts in this color appear slightly redder than
Transparent Orange parts in LEGO renders. The second render is an outline render.
That orange color is too red to be Transparent Orange.

The other photo is from a BrickOwl user. The part definitely looks like 47 here.

This part is included in the newest Harry Potter Gringotts Wizarding Bank set,
which would make this color current again.

I have a 30051 instruction booklet with a blue background like set 30052 instead
of the red and white version shown in the stock photo.
Is it an error? Or a rare version of the set like a "blue box" version?

Hi there,
Who can help me indentifying these colors.

Gold and silver are so difficult.

Thanks for the reaction.

Does anyone have experience dealing with old Dark Red from 2001-2008? Is it brittle?
I’ve only had four modern Dark Red parts break, but I don’t own enough old Dark
Red to know if that color is as brittle.

My apologies in advance if this is the incorrect board for this topic:

I just acquired this

 
Part No: 41413  Name: Bionicle Mask Vahi
* 
41413 Bionicle Mask Vahi
Parts: BIONICLE, Kanohi Mask {Orange}

And wanted to add it in my collection. However, it seems I can only add it in
flat gold. I'm wondering why orange, the first color it was released in,
isn't an option.

Hallo everybody,
can someone tell me if both Grievous capes are original or one is fake? Maybe
someone still has the originals in stock or knows, as with some other things,
that there were different productions. The right one also feels more like plastic
on the print side and not like a classic 522.
Thanks and best regards, Michael

I have

 
Part No: 87803pb01  Name: Hero Factory Weapon, Energized Harpoon with Molded Lime Boomerang Pattern
* 
87803pb01 Hero Factory Weapon, Energized Harpoon with Molded Lime Boomerang Pattern

or

 
Part No: 87803pb01  Name: Hero Factory Weapon, Energized Harpoon with Molded Lime Boomerang Pattern
* 
87803pb01 Hero Factory Weapon, Energized Harpoon with Molded Lime Boomerang Pattern
Parts: Hero Factory {Flat Silver}

I have other parts in these two colors and, to be honest, I can not tell which
color the harpoon is.

How do I determine which color this part is? I am leaning towards PLG since the
only set that is on BL shows it in that color. Thanks for any insight.

Morning!

I am struggling with some axle colours that I have in stock. The picture shows
what I think is yellow on the left and bright light orange on the right.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Best wishes

Hi

Pearl Light Gold is the perfect color I'd like for some tiles. Unfortunately
it doesn't exist anymore.
I found brick yellow, which is pretty good. Maybe a bit light though.

Is there anything better?

Thanks

Hi all,

Two questions stemming from an error in Studio concerning these parts:

 
Part No: 3846px2  Name: Minifigure, Shield Triangular  with Red and Peach Quarters Pattern, Style 1
* 
3846px2 Minifigure, Shield Triangular with Red and Peach Quarters Pattern, Style 1
Parts: Minifigure, Shield
 
Part No: 3846px21  Name: Minifigure, Shield Triangular  with Red and Peach Quarters Pattern, Style 2
* 
3846px21 Minifigure, Shield Triangular with Red and Peach Quarters Pattern, Style 2
Parts: Minifigure, Shield
 
Part No: 3846px3  Name: Minifigure, Shield Triangular  with Red/Maroon Quarters Pattern
* 
3846px3 Minifigure, Shield Triangular with Red/Maroon Quarters Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Shield

1. Are px2 and px21 using the same “Peach” colour?  px2 seems more Yellow / Bright
Light Orange than Nougat.

2. Shouldn’t “Maroon” be “Dark Red” and “Peach” be “Nougat” (as used by LDraw)? 
(IOW, shouldn’t descriptions use “real” colours?)
