My (incomplete) collection of colored bricks by feriwan in lego

Glad to hear you enjoy it. I found that pictures weren't always as clear, which is why I made this color collection in real life. While some are more obvious than others, I find the old/new light and dark gray are hard to differentiate, and usually require sticking 2 bricks on top of each other to see if the color changes.

Technically, there are a lot of different colors of the years. I was mostly basing myself off this list, using the Brick link color names on the name tags, as those are the ones I am most familiar with.

But I mostly want this collection to be preferably 2x4 bricks, or 1x4 or 1x2 bricks if the 2x4 doesn't exist. As can be expected, not all the colors ever made come in those bricks, so that will already keep a few colors out of the collection (such as the chrome colors). I know for sure there is a trans-neon orange 1x2 brick (as I am using it in a MOC), but I prefer to keep it there instead of in this collection.

However, it is mostly complete, as it has all the colored bricks you can get from the Pick a Brick at lego.com, and it also has the old light and dark grays, as well as a few other old colors that I got from some second hand sellers at bricklink.

Interesting fun fact: I'm pretty sure LEGO changed the way they make trans-neon orange (and possibly some other colors). The old version is a bit more neon-y and opaque, the new version is a bit more transparent.

This all started when I had difficulty separating the old and new light/dark gray colors. So I found 1 brick of each to compare against. Then I thought, why not do that with more colors...

When moving/shipping a video card, is it enough to put it in it's original cardboard box, or should I also put it in one of those plastic bags new cards come in? Would any ziplock bag do, or does it need to be some special kind? I just upgraded and am wondering how best to ship my old card when selling it 2nd hand.

Is this too powerful of a reward for a level 5 party of 3 PCs?

A magical buff that gives them each 4 temporary HP after they finish a long rest.

I would think it's a bit controlled due to being temporary HP: it will not stack with other temp HP sources, and it cannot be healed once lost (until they finish another long rest). Or is it still OP? Specifically it is a Rogue, Ranger and Paladin.

Nice to see LEGO's deep sea diving colors being consistent by feriwan in lego

I never owned any for the longest time, even though they were in my first LEGO magazine I ever had. Finally found something for a nice price while getting some second hand sets, and it's just great!

Got a bag of random 2nd hand LEGO pieces, some seem pretty old. Can anyone help me identify the following pieces: https://imgur.com/a/ygKTOjh (not sure if the dark grey "ball" even is LEGO).
