| I have no idea what it's from, but I do find it very interesting. The non-stud
end looks like it's the same as a notched 2L axle, which means that there
are all kinds of places that it could securely fit as either a decorative or
functional piece.

maybe, but even the biggest phone screens wouldn't be enough to make good

Interesting... That makes it seem that TLC has been making the tan 16X32s differently
than the 32X32s for every production run.
My other colors of 16X32 BP (green, blue, light gray) match the color of their
32X32 counterparts. Oh well, just another unsolved mystery in TLC's manufacturing
process.

Wasn’t Tan impacted by the Great Colour Shift?
If there were more “old Tan” 16x32 in stock, they would have been used alongside
“new Tan” 32x32.
|
I have not heard of tan being affected by the 2004 Color Shift. (My tan bricks
and other non-baseplate parts are the same shade of tan before and after 2004.)
However, just because TLC didn't change the exact shade of tan on purpose
doesn't mean that they didn't change it at all.

|
| This past week at Brickworld Indy I noticed that all of my tan 16X32 baseplates
were a different shade of tan than all of my 32X32 tan baseplates.
My tan 32X32 BPs appear to be the same color as any tan brick or other regular
part in tan. However, all of my 16X32 BPs are slightly darker and more yellow.
The difference was, of course, most noticeable when I had the BPs right next
to each other on my display.
The tan 16X32 BP has been in 16 sets over the years, 14 of which were from 1996
to 2002. I have bought all of my tan 16X32 BPs from various sources, and they
are all the same not-quite-LEGO-tan color. There were a couple of Spongebob
sets in 2006 and 2008 that had a tan 16X32 BP. I imagine that none of my BPs
are new enough to be from those most recent sets.
I was wondering, does anyone out there have any tan 16X32 BPs that you know are
from the Spongebob sets, and can verify if they match the shade of other tan
LEGO parts?
Thanks,
David

| In the first LEGO Movie 2 preview ( https://youtu.be/XvHSlHhh1gk?t=31 ) the sewer
babies are all holding weapons and the like. Anyway, I was planning on making
my own Apocalypseburg display, and of course, I want to have some sewer babies.
My question is: Is there such a thing as a baby body that has hands that can
grip minifig scale items (3.2mm diameter)?

If anyone knows the hex which properly matches this color, then I could use that
information. The official coral hex doesn't appear to match LEGO renders.
Also, where would you put it on the color guide? Down with the pinks has been
suggested.

| | We have long needed a relationship match that shows items which fit together

in the past and have gotten nowhere.
Instead, these kinds of matches were added as paired parts even though they did
not fit the spirit or definition of that match (and the sentence "Exceptions
to these definitions are determined at administrative discretion." was added
to the Item Relationships definitions page).
In my ongoing struggle to make the world a better place, generally speaking,
by addressing first-world problems of the lowest magnitude, we now have a new
relationship match:
Parts that Fit Together
Shows parts that naturally fit together which are designed to work together
and which are nearly always used together as a single unit.
If anyone sees where this definition could be improved, then please let me know.
Otherwise, start sending me some new item relationships and let's see how
well this works. I've added a few to get us started and here is one of them
so you can see how it looks:

I like this new relation type very much, but I wonder if the title will convey
the intended meaning. Few LEGO pieces are not parts that fit together.
Would Parts that Belong Together work better? I also like the
updated relationship definition.

You get an A for effort, but there's no way anyone is going to start those

| As bje pointed out, the word "pattern" means a visual design that is repeating.
The vast majority of the things called "pattern" in the BL catalog really aren't.
I think the word "pattern" needs to be changed to "print" since that's what
it really is.

| I definitely agree with dearlydeparted on this. I think this part should stay
in the catalog. I know when I buy it, I look for the assembly.
I assume the multitude of possible combinations would be due to all the different
colors that that hinge comes in? Perhaps the only assembly of it allowed in
the catalog would be one in which both halves are the same color? If the top
and bottom halves are different colors, then the seller will have to list them
separately.

If they had names different from a set box, then I could see why the changes

Sunlight IMO works best, I've sometimes looked at these till my eyes water

pick out the ones that do not look as bright, those would be brown (technical

If your pile is the same I've marked the ones that stand out clearly.
