|
| I was going through my stock of 1x5 liftarms, and stumbled upon a color I have
not seen before. It is somewhere between Light and Dark bluish grays (middle
part in attached picture). It is not the old grays either. What is it? Bricklink
does NOT list such color. Could it be an off-brand or else?
It dies have the typical mold markings in the small openings (part number etc).
Any thoughts?

It looks you have here the OLD light Gray, and the Newer Light BLUISH Gray.

| Early run of LBG maybe?
Early runs of Light Bluish gray often has bad color stability.

Any chance you know which sets had early runs? I can cross check against sets
I have, and see if I can dig out possibly other liftarms with the same color.

Some of the Light Bluish Grays are fading to an odd paler color. (Whether still
sealed in box or not.)
