  Why are the mushrooms not considered figures? They are considered figures in
the character packs.

They're not fun guys, like normal figs?

Rather than searching for individual pieces that might not exist in a certain
colour, I'd like to see the parts that are available/do exist to help with
MOCs.

If you go to the catalog tab there is a color guide part which lists all the
colors and you can then select from there to see all the parts that are made
in that colour

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp?utm_content=subnav

Note that there are different ways of defining 'color exists':

(1) Is it for sale? If there are only a few available worldwide, check those
listings: if they say 'HTF' (hard to find) they are probably legit; if
they are cheap with no specification and generally no image: they are likely
non-existent results of typos.

(2) On wanted lists: This is just wishful thinking of Bricklink users, hoping
that the part will someday appear in that color.

(3) Appearing in sets: Did LEGO bring out a set (and does Bricklink have the
inventory of this set) in which this part appears in that color. Some parts are
available in colors even though they never came out in a set. Beware, as those
ghost parts may be rather expensive.

These 3 different ways all appear on the above Color Guide page. And then there
is:

(4) Proof of existence: is there an actual photo of the part in the Bricklink
catalog? This can be seen in store listings and on the catalog page.

That link was exactly what I was looking for. I just wanted to know if parts
I want exist and are for sale and if not, find something similar that might do
(or actually be better than the ones I considered). Cheers

Bingo! That's exactly what I wanted. Cheers

I've just pulled apart a set (#4495 - Star Wars AT-TE Mini) that I purchased
my self, many years ago, which has been in sealed storage in my loft pretty much
since I first assembled it.

I noticed that several parts were old dark grey while the majority were dark
bluish grey.

I checked the inventory and found that all parts should have been dark bluish
grey. There was no mention of old dark grey parts.

These parts (2* 1x4 plate and 6* Hinge Plate 1 x 2 Locking with 1 Finger On Top)
are definitely old dark grey. They are not sun damaged or faded; they are full
and evenly coloured top, bottom and sides. Also no other colour parts are affected.

So

1) Is this unusual?
2) Can the Inventory reflect that this set may have old dark grey alternative
parts.
