| | I have -since I found out what brittle blue is/was- found:
3x1 inverted slopes
one 1x2 jumper plate
2x2 corner bricks
2x2 tiles
I probably have more if I search for it in my stock/old mocs.
And I'm sure I broke many, or threw them away, from the time before I knew
what it was.
Or used as filler bricks.
I do keep them now for fun. It's not a real colour and they are totally
useless, but still a nice oddity.
But if you do find a 2x4 brick...are you gonna add it to that color 'tower'?
I wouldnt. It might break just by doing that...

| | I've just found a 16x16 baseplate in Brittle Blue, pretty cool find I think.
Anyone found anything unusual in this 'colour'. I thought it was just
bricks. Also still haven't found a 2x4 brick in Brittle Blue yet if anyone
has one.

I broke a 2x4 brick by accidentally knocking a ziplock bag with a brick off the
table. The brick did not survive the 75 cm fall... I was preparing it for shipping,
so the next one got a lot more padding

| | Hi there, hope someone can help.
I've found what looks like a 7049b but with a white rather than red interior
and 'Pat Pend' on the bottom. It's from a box of my own childhood
Lego so it's definitely from the early 80's - should I list this as a
7049b or is there a better description?
Grateful for some advice...
|
There are a few variations of the interior colors.
BrickLink does not separate those variations, so 7049b is correct.

There are 16 Modulex bricks with LEGO logo. You are missing one.

Keep it simple. A tile does not have studs. So if it has studs, then it is a
plate.

The one you have labeled "2?" is
[p=Clikits013a]
in Medium Violet. I don't think that color is right, though.

It is one of several colors that BrickLink calls Medium Violet.
This color was used for Clikits only.

| | Hello,
I have several stickered parts that I would like to add to the catalog. It has
been ages that I have done this, so I forget how to do it. Is it adding or changing
to the catalog? Is it a change or addition to the item or the inventory? In other
words, I am not even sure where to start any more! Anyone have a link and some
advice, please?

Add the item as a new part.
After the part is approved, request a change to the set inventory.
The stickered item is a counterpart (matched to the corresponding item without
sticker).

| | Hi everyone. few weeks ago i recieved light orange 2x4 brick.
i'm almost sure that the color of the brick is: Medium Yellowish Orange (lego
no. 121)
this is an unknown color so far for 2X4 bricks.
there is another light orange color: Warm Yellowish Orange (lego no. 225). maybe
some people have 2x4 brick in that color, i don't.
i took a picture of the 2x4 brick i got with the part 3898pb01 made only in Medium
Yellowish Orange (lego no. 121):
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3898pb01#T=C
what do you think?

I agree it seems to be a perfect match!
Now we need to find more of these bricks... I want one!

orange (color no. 225). the corect color is Medium Yellowish Orange (color no.
121). it's defently not Flame Yellowish Orange (color no.191)
I'm looking for a 3001 master who can tell the exact color.

I can make a photo of all your reference colours with added Medium Yellowish
Orange and Warm Yellowish Orange. It will probably be a few days before I can
make time for that.
Also, the list only contains known colors for 3001. It is possible that more
colors were made. The list is updated when new colors are confirmed.

At first it looks like a normal Duplo plate, but it's not:
The first Duplo plates and tiles were based on the regular Lego plate/brick ratio

Somewhere around 1992, these "thin" plates and tiles were abandoned for the "thick"

Please also rename 40666 to avoid confusion about the thickness of that

It is used in watch links. For some reason, those are considered to be gear and
not parts, so they are not shown in the parts column.

The community has soundly rejected this approach, as evidenced in a forum discussion
not too long ago. You want it, most don't.
|
I think the community rejected renaming colors (that were named before the official
color names were known). I do not think the community rejected following LEGO
on new (known) color names.
I do not object to using a shortened version on BrickLink (Coral instead of Vibrant
Coral), but we should not use something completely different.

If anyone knows the hex which properly matches this color, then I could use that
information. The official coral hex doesn't appear to match LEGO renders.
Also, where would you put it on the color guide? Down with the pinks has been
suggested.

They probably use different values for different applications (renders, printed
media etc.)

Sure, why not. It was an easy fix. Some people in the future might not realize
they're gears and think they're flower petals, so now the titles include
both terms.

If you'll post a comparison picture, then I'll add an additional note
to the part mentioning the difference and also add this part to our list of known
variants.
|

I don't know what happened here, but the website is responding very slow
and all my text is gone...
The different versions could simply be different cavity positions in the mold.
If those are evenly distributed in the mold, then we could expert to find approximately
equal amounts in sets.
