Before I run out to buy Lego friends sets, is this an April fools day post? :) I just had to ask because of what day it is. Not that I don't trust you. :D

Do we know what the colorblind look like or to we get to come up with that ourselves?

[Umbra-Manis]

Of course this happens right after i skip the pink on the PaB wall.

[Lady K]

Yes! I finally can put those cases of pink brick to good use!

[Junior Shark]

I hope you understand if I hold off on building for this until tomorrow?

Yes! Same! I knew I should have gotten those dark pink 1x2 slope bricks...

[TheLazyChicken]

Sounds good! So technically do we make a build for our corporation using the corresponding colors for Category A? Thanks!

[rodiziorobs]

So Andromeda's Gates meets Operation Petticoat, sans Cary Grant, huh? Sounds fun.

You've just tainted my build- now I have to sneak an OP reference in!

[Bob De Quatre]

Guys don't go buying pink bricks...

[Junior Shark]

You're despicable.

[Mr Greeble]

As someone who has a hard time telling if people are joking or not, I hate April Fools day.

My least favorite day of the year. At least I didn't fall for this one.

Is it a bad thing that I have enough parts to do a Kawashita build under these rules anyway?

[Dragonfire]

I read this, made plans for getting some lavender bricks off PaB walls and then realised what day it was. Good job though, you certainly fooled some people.

(More plausible than the Korean announcement as well)

[David FNJ]

Or we just keep our bricks and then invert the colors when we post our builds this week!

Or, you know, do.

I thought it seemed a little far-fetched to be real.

Then again, it also seemed not far-fetched enough Maybe that should have tipped me off.

'Twas a far more effective prank than the Korean one for the general forum, so, well done, sir. :slow clap:

...Yes.

[Junior Shark]

Though this was a joke, it sounded pretty exciting. I hope we could see a similar challenge in the future.
