Dark blue in Hahli

[lham]

Hi,

for those that have Toa Mahri Hahli (set 8914, year 2007),

have you noticed how the dark blue is significantly more vibrant than dark blue bricks from other sets such as 8103 Sky Guardian (released same year) or Vezok (set 8902, released 2006);

maybe the dark blue dye used in summer 2007 (when hahli was released) was slightly different from that used in Jan 2007 (when sky guardian was released),

anyway I really really like it!

anyone who has the new cargo copter 4995 can check the dark blue bricks (if that sounds interesting to you!)

thanks,

Lham

Do you have the set? You didn't make that clear.

I don't think there's much of a difference in the blues, I have the set and other blue sets.

yes I have the set, and with mine, under reasonable light, the dark-blue is noticeably more vibrant.

I just compared the wings on Sky Guardian with Hahli’s dark blue pieces, and lham is right. The difference is slight, but Hahli’s blue is more vibrant than the other one.

Are we talking this kind of problem?

If so, this has been going on since the inception of that color.

no...It's not really the solidness/transparency of the colour, but the vibrancy/luminous-look of it, in 'sky guardian 8103' and 'Vezok 8902' the dark-blue is more flat but in hahli it's more lively; in fact in my hahli the feet are slightly transparent (they seem to be a more flexible plastic) but still vibrant dark-blue,

I would recommend hahli 8914 to fans of dark-blue!

thanks for reading.
