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 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...

grtz,
Koen

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

LOL yep definitely be adding it to the stack - carefully. I've got quite
a few parts now, I think they are pretty unique and I love collecting them. So
far 2x2, 2x3 and 2x6 brick, few slopes and plates and a 1x8 tile. The damn 2x4
keeps dogging me, I occasionally buy small older job lots on eBay by guessing
the colour from the images, not had much success yet though.
