Be aware that the 'Brittle Blue' isn't an official LEGO or BrickLink
colour, but is a colour that has been noticed to have occured in the turn of
the century 2000-2003, and the composition of the plastic that this blue is in
is actually more 'Brittle' than the normal plastic, hence the name.
I have actually seen this colour across quite a few elements, including the 2x4
brick.
Earlier this year I was searching for this colour in a 2x4 for my palette, and
had to buy one from an European Seller, and when it arrived, I was so chuffed....
BUT....
Last week, I found one in a Bulk Lot of LEGO that I'd bought in February,
so I could have saved myself some money.... !
Ah well....

I have been finding lots of this blue when sorting, and throwing them away! And
considering I spent quite a lot of time on my colour chart and the 2x4 collection
I’m surpised I never saw it mentioned before!

| Do wedge shapes ever come in two colors on the same piece at the same time? Like
light gray all over or light bluish gray and then black on front edge and
ahorestest side? Or is it more likely the piece would have to be colored on to
achieve this? Top and rest of the piece would be which ever shade of gray it’s

No, my recolection is that the way the deleted text was worded is that you may
see elements released in colors that will only ever appear in Brickheadz because
that shape in that color is part of a special run that's restricted to Brickheadz
use.
Now, due to the odd nature of Brickheadz, I could see the Powers That Be ruling
that Brickheadz gets to commission one-time runs of new or retired elements,
and that no other theme gets to piggyback on those runs, but leaving open the
possibility that if any other theme actually wants those elements they can order
it up just like any other Q element.
Note that "element" refers to the shape and color combined. Brickheadz, like
Ideas, is restricted from generating new molds, so IP-specific elements are highly
unlikely to ever even appear in this theme. Minifig accessories are the one
potential exception I can think of, since some do hold weapons, but I can't
think of any that are actually _exclusive_ to Brickheadz (e.g. Jack Sparrow's
cutlass isn't even IP-specific, much less a new color). Dimensions not only
got to make new molds, they got to make new IP-specific molds, many of which
have never been used outside of that theme, which is very different from what
Brickheadz get access to.

My understanding is that if you design a set that needs a Glow-in-the-Dark 2x4

under your budget, any other set designer has access to that element for free,
basically. According to the original claim, it sounded like those two themes

Yes. There is a Pearl Dark Gray pre-2010 (LEGO Color "Dark Grey Metallic"), and

the old Pearl Dark Gray which looks much more yellow than the current Pearl Dark

| I know Pearl Dark Grey has an older variation which looks like that one in the
middle, I have quite a few Bionicle pieces and they look very similar in colour.
I always note them though as they are so far off the normal Pearl Dark Grey
which is a lot 'blacker'.

In the picture you can see three distinct colours. On the left are "dark bluish
gray" blocks for reference. In the middle are some replacement pieces which are
meant to be "pearl dark gray" but are not the same as the far right pieces which
are from the aircraft set. They defintely are "pearl dark gray".
The thing is, that type of "panel fairing" comes in pearl dark gray or dark
bluish gray only. It is not listed as existing in the old shade of dark gray
which it appears to be. Same goes for the 1x2 liftarms in the picture.
The colour is consistant over the whole piece, it isn't faded or discoloured.
It doesnt havethe same amount of texture that the "pearl dark gray" on the far
right do, but then again it seem to have a bit of shine to it that a regular
old "dark gray" piece doesn't have. So i guess my question is, is there a
known large varation of the colour of the "pearl dark gray" pieces?

| There is, flat silver tends to be darker, the real challenge is with Bionicle
parts and they can come very close. Best to try and get a few of each to keep
as reference.

The color change happened around early 2004. By 2006, any remaining old dark
grey parts should have been cleaned out of their system, and if that's the
first time they actually made that element in dark-bley or dark-grey, they
should have used up all of their remaining dark-grey pellets. That's not
to say there's no chance that they could have uncovered a pallet or two,
but unlikely. Blending the two might be a possibility, but that bears the ugly
risk of marbling the entire run.

LEGO switched the grays in 2004, so these sets would most likely have never contained
this part in Dark Gray. The part most likely came from excess stock sold off
from the LEGO modeling shops.

| | Hey all!
Busy uploading bunches of parts when I came across 4x 4095, but they are in Dark
Grey?
According to the catalog, this part has never been released in DG.
Where does this piece come from? Is it real Lego? I have not found any fake lego
in the bunch.
Thanks!

In the Bricklink catalog, a part becomes "known" when someone lists it in an
inventory. There are still many parts that are known to exist in real life, but
are not yet in inventories, so the catalog does not list them as "known."
It looks like this may be one of those parts. You can see that other sellers
have this for sale in this color, and some have even sold recently - at a high
price for this part!

Thank you all!
I do not think these came from either of those two sets since I have double the
amount and no other parts of those sets.
Think I will list three of the DG 4095's, so check them out

It's hard to tell if it's true Dark Gray, looks like it could be a color
that existed before DBG but after DG, it has a slightly greenish hue compared
to full on dark gray, it's halfway between the two. I have seen at least
one vendor refer to it as "Transitional Dark Bluish Gray" it looks just like
DG until you put it next to DBG. From the picture it is hard to tell if it is
this. But there are definitely variations that pop up all the time, which are
not known to exist. I just spotted a light gray 8x8 plate, for example, who knows
where that came from...

I’d say:
upper left = a mix of flat silver (shiny) and DBG (not shiny)
upper right = metallic silver
bottom middle = LBG
|
You're right, the upper left contained still 2 LBG. Thanks for pointing that
out!
The bottom middle is not LBG, I'm certain (well 99%) so could it be Pearl
Light Grey?
| |
The fact the parts are round makes it difficult to see which are shiny because
they are new and which are shiny because they are silver.
|
True. And used parts can be discolered... giving a multiple of shades...

| Hey!!
There are many parts available in colors that never came in sets.
How and why these came on the market anyway I don't know.
Your DG items look like Lego to me.
Hth,
Arnoud

Both. Pearl Gold is one of those colors that was changed a few your ago. The
lighter parts are older and the darker parts are the new version of pearl gold.
