Hi

I've just finished sorting a joblot of old(ish) LEGO from a recent bulk purchase
(contains space police and other sets from the early 90s).

I noticed that all the 2x2 bricks in trans blue, green and red have no inner
supports but these colours are not listed as known colours for this variant.
I've had plenty of those with the supports but don't remember coming
across this variant before.
I'm assuming these are fairly common but what sets do they come from?

Regards
Kev

Hi,

Modern transparent bricks are listed as modern bricks (3001, 3002, 3003) even
though they don’t have cross/inside supports.

Hi Sylvain

Ok, thanks. It was because they were marked as part number 6223 - do I list them
under the normal 3003s even though they have no supports?

Thanks
Kev

Hi Sylvain

6223 is an alternate ID for 3003:
 
Part No: 3003  Name: Brick 2 x 2
* 
3003 Brick 2 x 2
Parts: Brick


   - do I list them
under the normal 3003s even though they have no supports?

That’s what I would do… but I’m not a seller

3003 is the generic / umbrella entry anyway.  3003old is for when you’re sure
the part is an old one, from an old set.

OK, I'll do that - I checked 6223 was the alternative number for 3003. I
always log blue,red,yellow and light grey with no supports as 3003old.

Thanks again
