| I found this in my inventory last week. The first is these new brackets. The
brick with clip is normal Dark Bluish Gray, the bracket on the bottom is normal
Light Bluish Gray. The two in the middle, well, ???. I know this happens when
they change colors in the molding machine, I just never saw two with that much
difference before
The second is a slope I found and I can't really explain the speckle. It
is a LEGO part, seems to be mostly Light Bluish Gray. When I looked at it through
a loop, as you can see here, it has small shafts of black. I would expect round
beads, but not shafts.
Does anyone know how the slope got speckled?
Anyone interested in owning them?

Is it a 1x1 slope? Top corners look sharper/more angular than normal - you sure
its not a clone?

I agree with this. Even the prototype cheese slopes I've seen (which do have
sharp top corners) are shaped a little differently.
As for the bracket colors, it seems to happen a lot with this part. Either it's
a poorly-colored Light Bluish Gray, or it's Dark Bluish Gray that didn't
get enough colorant. Hard to say for sure.

Regarding the slope, I've seen that kind of color and speckling in Mega Bloks
military sets.

Thanks for all of your input. I will double check that is or isn't LEGO.
