Yep, same here. They look like light gray in good shape, not sun-damaged LBG
(although sun-damaged LBG can look like LG).

Adding: and all those parts do come in light gray.

  Hi!

I am having a small issue with a customer who claims te have recieved parts with
sun damage

He sent me pictures of what i believe are his own arches (or maybe other arches
out of the same order: i do not know) and the different "sun damaged"
parts picked out of the different lots/items

Since all parts have the same color on the inside and outside i suspect color
variations/inconsistencies from a parted out set (7094)

Trying to resolve the issue with the customer but i am wondering how yall are
handling this, also with the sand green, dark red, pearl gold and other color
inconsistencies, since it also seems to happen in modern new sets

Do you still opload the part?
Do you place a note on seperated lot?
Or ditch the parts in a bulk bin?

Thanks in advance!!!

Nothing exclusively from the Inika, no. Hell, I'm not even sure if some of
the Piraka parts I have are 296 anymore, or are just bad 131 v2. My job for this
weekend is trying to separate the two.

I wonder if the Toa Inika were ever released in 296. The marbled parts
 
Set No: 8731  Name: Toa Kongu
* 
8731-1 (Inv) Toa Kongu
46 Parts, 2006
Sets: BIONICLE: Toa Inika
only appear with 131. The element IDs/PCCs of 4493393 & 4493394 appear both in
the database and the instruction manual, and are after the last known 296 ID,
4493182.

Have you find any Inika parts in the color?

New thread, new title etc etc

I've more or less reworked the data I had with the new, accurate silver
classifications, which is lovely! I'm liaising with hereforbricks614 to try
and tick off as many Bionicle-specific 296 parts as we can. 2006 is still our
dodgy year, with 131 v1, 131 v2, and 296 all being used. I'm a little concerned
that 2005 might be a potential source of 296 too, but have written off 2007 (blame
some very, very dodgy 131 v2 Jaller swords for that). Te only real challenge
left is to detangle the aforementioned dodgy 131 v2s, and true 296 pieces I've
managed to confirm a bunch of the potential parts already, but more rechecks
are required before I bring that data to BrickLink proper for potential catalogue
inclusion. I'll keep picking at it as I find time between work and other
dumb Bionicle-centric side projects.

Unfortunately, 296 isn't our only bugbear. I've had 2 confirmed sightings
of this weird dude: a 131 v1 Mahri shoulder piece. This image was provided by
a mate, I don't have this piece myself. This piece was introduced in 2007,
and in theory shouldn't exist. In both reported cases, a single one of these
was pulled from a bulk lot, with no accurate indication of what set contained
it. Even more strange: there are no sets that only use 1...

If anyone has any insight as to where this weirdo snuck in, I'd love to hear
it. I'd also love to hear from anyone who has owned the 2005 Bionicle system
playsets from NIB, particularly if said sets contained a Pearl Gold Kraahkan/Pearl
Gold Visorak body. There's a slim chance they might have used 296 as their
silver, going on other contemporary uses, and I'd love to be able to write
them all off conclusively.

Thoughts?

Thank you all for the assistance. It is greatly appreciated. All tubs are now
labelled and I can sort at the end of their art sessions.
