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.

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:
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:
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.

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...

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.

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

have been literally hundreds of different 2x4 brick molds over the decades, and
they all have different markings underneath.

| | 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.

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.

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

Yes and, more importantly, no. There are colors that have more than one number
within Lego's system. There are many colors that were given a number but
never actually used in anything other than prototypes. There are numbers which
probably have a color, but we just haven't found a reference to it yet. And
there are many, many numbers which just refer to "Multicombination" (marbled/dual-molded)
parts.
While I do like to use Lego's color numbers, they don't always work 1:1
with BrickLink colors. Some of them (like new and old Dark Pink) have two different
Lego IDs, but are impossible to tell apart IRL. Others (like all the different
coppers) have been consolidated to make things simpler for buyers/sellers, since
the parts they come in don't really have much overlap.
As for Modulex... Lego's IDs for them often overlap with normal Lego colors.
5 Brick Yellow and 5 Mx Buff are both the same tan color. Same with 11 (Mx) Pastel
Blue (maersk blue). Others have no color match, but may have conflicting IDs.

Technically it’s supposed to be Blue, but it’s a harder, more fragile plastic
that looks a bit darker than normal.

| | Hey all
I'm looking to set up a color pallet of most of the lego colors. Is there
a way to find out which part number has the most color varieties?
|
Easily 2x4 bricks, if you count test bricks and model shop parts. It's also
nice because you can make the same shape out of 2x2 bricks, 1x2 bricks, 1x4 bricks,
or 1x1 bricks if needed.

Thank you thats a very useful single reference source yet Bricklink should have
similar if its using different colour names to Lego

The problem with that is that many BrickLink colors correspond to 3 or 4 different
Lego colors. It isn't exactly 1:1.

| | Found some frosted trans-light-blue 1x4 bars in a set recently and I'm not
comfortable mixing them with my current inventory. They are quite different and
I don't think a customer who orders several would be happy getting a mixture.
The additional notes state:
"Alternate item number 28697 is used for transparent colors. This mold variant
has no bubbles and number 28697 molded on it. It has been found in two variations
clear and frosted as showed on additional images."
So it seems the catalog admins are aware of the difference and have decided not
to reflect it in the catalog here? Personally I think this is a mold variation
worth recognizing.

I agree. I had about 4000 of the old kind, and went to the Lego store to get
1000 more to finish a MOC. They only had the new frosted kind, which would look
very out of place next to the ones I already had, so I had to find them elsewhere.
For sellers, these should be easy to separate. I'd also like to see the rounded
vs. flat ends separated in the catalog but that may be more difficult

TLG's color IDs are vaguely chronological, but it's based on when the
color was created/added to the palette, even if they aren't actually used
in sets right away. Some colors never get used, which explains the gaps in the
IDs.
I haven't figured out the methodology behind the numbering of the first 30
or so colors, but I think it has something to do with Modulex...

Thanks

I wish it were that easy, but old Dark Red had a LOT of variance, and sometimes
looked like New Dark Red. And lately New Dark Red has been a bit milky some of
the time... so there's no real way to separate the two.
You could separate them into "milky dark red" and "darker dark red" perhaps,
which — apart from adding confusion — opens a can of worms when it comes to other
colors. Do we start separating all the different shades of White too?

For now as we have more changes in discussion, can't we put the colours back
to how they were. I'm sure a few more days/weeks of flesh isn't going
to hurt us.
Then discuss with the Lego Company regarding changing all colours to their colours
- we are part of their group. What they say will be correct !!

Trust me, you don't want this. Lego colors don't match up with BrickLink
colors one-to-one; BrickLink has consolidated several colors to make it sensible
for buyers and sellers. Do you really want to have to separate your Cool Silver
parts from your Silver (pearl light gray)? Or call chrome silver and metallic
silver both Silver Ink?

There could be a few more.

My current best guess is that Ron Weasley and the parts in 7411 are really Earth
Orange. But I would feel better if I could triangulate with some other colors.
I don't know if I can be confident that my 1997 bread is really Earth Orange.

Early Ron Weasley hair and Tygurah are proper Earth Orange. I believe the bread
is too but I don't have it.

Is pearl light gold real or is it the lighter shade of pearl gold listed as pearl
light gold? I have attached an image sorry if quality is terrible, the 3 on the
left are the darker shade pearl gold.

Those are all Pearl Gold. This color shows a lot of variation:

Pearl Light Gold hasn’t been used in a long time, and never for 1x1 round plates:

Lego calls it "362 Transparent Blue Opal". And there's another new color:
6294242 in set 43173. I'd assume it's "Transparent Pink Opal", but I
haven't found confirmation on the name/number yet.
