| Hi,
I was sorting some pieces I from a new set, and I noticed that the 59349 trans-light
blue panel was noticeably lighter than the one from another set, which was also
new (Set 80109 vs. 60347).
I reached out to Lego, and they said that sunlight or cigarettes could cause
the color change... but these are both new sets, and I generally take care of
my pieces.
For my customers, how do I differentiate the panels that are "lighter" trans-light
blue and "darker" trans-light blue?
I feel like if I were a customer, I would not accept parts that had a mix of
the two.
Any input appreciated! Thanks!
Mike

| It's a known colour variation from when lego changed the plastic type used
to make the parts if I'm not mistaken. since they are officially the same
colour the best way to proceed if its something you are concerned about would
be to list them separately with comments about the colour

I would create two different items and specify that a buyer would be receiving
different variants depending on which they decided to buy, in their respective
descriptions. Trans-Light Blue has changed a little over the years.

| An image would be good but sounds like a slight colour variation. |

Sorry, here is an image. By itself I would not have noticed, but side by side
it is like a different color/part.
Thanks
