Howdy.

I'm looking for light bright orange 1x1 round bricks with open stud (3062b).

I've bought several over the last few months, but there's now only one
left on the market place.

I was hoping that I could perhaps get more from sets (here or eBay etc.),
however looking for this part "In Sets" doesn't appear to net any results
- https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3062b&in=S

Am I reading that right?

If it didn't appear in sets (and was released in an apparent limited number)
where did it come from?

I presume that once that last brick is sold it will then be deleted from the
catalogue too, so no more will ever be made available

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Cheers

Ian

There are many parts available on BL that was never used in a set.

Sometimes Lego makes parts in special colors, for use in their Legoland parks,
or just for testing molds.

Sometimes these parts find their way to to BL.

Thanks. That's what I thought tbh.
