  Hello,

Anybody know this Grievous set, and what it is worth?
Thank’s in advance.


Soren

 
Set No: 10186  Name: General Grievous - UCS
* 
10186-1 (Inv) General Grievous - UCS
1085 Parts, 2008
Sets: Star Wars: Ultimate Collector Series: Star Wars Episode 3

We have this set. Built it with my son. He played with the statue for 5 minutes
and then ran off with the light sabers and never returned. I still use the
stand as it is a nice turntable for display.

Jen

I never built the set, but I did a draft of 4 of them way back at BrickWorld.
So many useful parts for the time, especially in quantity!

  Another question about a different part:
 
Part No: 90398  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Statuette / Trophy
* 
90398 Minifigure, Utensil Statuette / Trophy
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil {Copper}

Any idea's about the color?
I received pictures compared with other copper parts from the period, but it
doesn't really look like TLG 300.

Diana

It is from years later and perhaps is another TLG color, but it is copper color.
I'm not sure it would be worth getting a new color.


It is a painted copper coating similar to Metallic Silver or Metallic Gold.
I would like to see this added as Metallic Copper to the BrickLink colors.

It doesn't look at all like the other Metallic Copper parts.
Closer to 300 then imo. But it is a painted copper coating indeed.

What about:
139 Copper (2003-2008)
300 Copper, Drum Lacquered (2008-2012)
346 Copper Metallic (2017-2020)

This part is also a strange in-between color:
 
Part No: 95676  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Helmet Gladiator
* 
95676 Minifigure, Headgear Helmet Gladiator
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear

Keep in mind that all collectifig parts from that era were produced by a factory
contracted by Lego, since Lego hadn't built their own factory in China yet.
So it was a little harder to tightly control colors.

  Does anyone know what this would be listed under in BL? I see dark pearl gold
but no picture or set listing. This color is more metallic color than regular
pearl gold.
Thank you in advance!!

Is it a shiny matte coating on top of the plastic, or the color of the plastic
itself? Could you show a photo? Pearl Gold has a lot of variation, and Metallic
Gold isn't known for this part...

Niek.

‘Vibrant Coral’ is now ‘Coral’ again and ‘Vibrant Yellow’ is now ‘Neon Yellow’.

Ah. Would be great if there were a new thread from the BL catalog team, especially
with the other color info from the last decade that has been scrubbed with this
thread cancellation.

Niek.

Yes, please create a new announcement post once you settle on a name, @admins

Okay, I’ll rescind if you tell me:
1. How many of the parts in the pseudo-scorpio are Galidor.
2. And how many of the other parts were available when Galidor was alive.

1. All of them
2. N/A

  Hi

Have this 2x2 square flag

Thanks for any help

tpr

I updated the main image with a photo.

The printing isn't great but at least it shows the accurate printed pattern.

That's great. And what of the LEGO stamp on the clamp, that Susan has brought
to the cat-team's attention?

That makes it even more likely that it’s authentic, no? All of my flags have
the Lego text, vintage or not.

At some point Lego updated the flag mold so the square part of the flag is longer
past where the clips start, working as reinforcements for the clips. BrickLink
doesn’t recognize that variant.

Huh Am I speaking Greek? If so, how cool that would be!

I'm referring to the CatAdmin's announced new catalog image that's
missing the LEGO embossing. Which was referenced in the OP's statement supported
by pic. In which I reinforced with my reply and pic.

Catalog pic integrity to reinforce "authenticity" as it were...


I did misread, sorry! As long as the pic is of an actual part though, I don't
think it needs to show the side with the LEGO logo...

Note that the image in the catalogue is a render.
I tried to look at the pictures of the smaller sets it appears in but it’s not
very easy to tell.

So it’s etheir this one or a custom or fake.

Looks legitimate to me. Printing from that era often had bleeding issues, so
the black areas could easily turn out larger than they should have been or have
fuzzy edges. This looks very similar to my own copies of the part.

  Hi!
I bought some legs and found that legs have only R and L marks on them.
Is it possible or no? No other marks on it. Maybe it is an old version? Or fake
lego

Molds are updated often over the years, not to mention in several different factories,
each needing their own molds. As long as it says LEGO on the hips (either perpendicular
or parallel to the hips), I wouldn’t doubt its legitimacy. For reference, there
have been literally hundreds of different 2x4 brick molds over the decades, and
they all have different markings underneath.

Glows under a blacklight, and verified as Trans-Medium Blue in Lego's parts database. Like trans-medium blue Clikits parts (made in the same factory in China), it doesn't fully match normal trans-MEDIUM blue parts

  We are aware of the uselessness of the Light Pink color name. However, some sellers
do use it for the oldest pink color (currently not recognized on BrickLink).
In fact, when we did a "Pink Survey" a few years ago, Light Pink was the number
2 popular choice for the name of the old pink color, tying with Peach Pink.

So it has been suggested that we just use Light Pink for the earliest pink instead
of creating a new color. I still think Paradisa Pink is more intuitive. The only
problem is that the color shifted about halfway through Paradisa, which would
make the inventories a mess to work out, and strictly speaking, both old pinks
belong to the Paradisa line.

Situations like this are the biggest reason why we put off making decisions.

I like the use of it as 17 Rose Hopefully someday the Paradisa inventories
can reflect that, even if it means adding a bunch of alternates like in other
mid-color-change sets like 10030.

Much more likely flat silver or pearl light gray.

It's 179 Silver Flip/Flop, which BrickLink does not recognize as a unique
color. It looks like sellers have it listed as 4 different colors, so... take
your pick I guess.

 
Part No: 32569  Name: Bionicle Mask Akaku

32569 Bionicle Mask Akaku

How many pieces are available in flipflop?

Six masks in Silver Flip/Flop, six masks in Yellow Flip/Flop, and two masks in
Red Flip/Flop. That’s all.

So there are more of each than light pink.

Light Pink doesn't even line up with any Lego color. Most of the parts
listed under that color are poor color matching to Pink or Light Salmon (since
fabric colors are never a perfect match for ABS). The Clikits part is just some
standard transparent color in Polypropylene material. If your argument is that
BrickLink should reflect Lego colors more accurately (and I'd agree with
you there), using Light Pink as a reference point might not make the best case

After looking at many images of this set on ebay/google images, it seems this part in Reddish Brown never came with Dark Pink icing — even the BL pic for Reddish Brown looks a little translucent. It's polypropylene Trans-Dark Pink, same as the later ones, but the material makes it look more opaque than normal.

  Ryan,

would you please confirm that it is actually 366 and 367. 366 would be bad news
as we already have a LDraw color in place: 366 - Earth_Orange

How about shadow RGBs for these opal colors?

Cheers, Willy

If LDRAW is following Lego's numbers, Earth Orange should be 12. If LDRAW
is not following Lego's numbers, then there's no problem, just use another
random number for these new ones. If LDRAW is inconsistent in its numbering,
that should probably be addressed before adding new colors
