Governor Mister Phes Posted November 19, 2005 Governor Posted November 19, 2005 Have there been any bley BURPS released yet? Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted November 19, 2005 Governor Posted November 19, 2005 Imperial John! You've posted! You should do more posting. How's that Imperial Fort MOC coming along you showed us 6 months go? Quote
ImperialJohn Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 How's that Imperial Fort MOC coming along you showed us 6 months go? Let's talk about bley BURPS instead :$ Just as much happening with the design of BURPS as with my Fort right now. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted November 19, 2005 Governor Posted November 19, 2005 They don't really look that much different to normal grey burps in these pictures? Quote
ImperialJohn Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Exactly. They havent changed and the Fort havent changed ;) Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted November 19, 2005 Governor Posted November 19, 2005 But Imperial John, what of your Imperial MOC? Quote
Norro Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 They don't really look that much different to normal grey burps in these pictures? Except that these 'rocks' are shiny and reflective ; ) God Bless, Nathan Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted November 19, 2005 Governor Posted November 19, 2005 It doesn't look any different to the BURPs I can see that are just metres away in the Pirates Perilous Pitfall... Quote
Norro Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 It doesn't look any different to the BURPs I can see that are just metres away in the Pirates Perilous Pitfall... Try the bleys in person Mr Phes, that is the only cure for the delusion that they will interact with/are better than the greys... God Bless, Nathan Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted November 19, 2005 Governor Posted November 19, 2005 What delusion are you speaking of? Quote
TroyTMoore Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Initially I was quite irrate with the colour change to light grey, dark grey, and brown. I realized very shortly thereafter that I could be miserable or get over it. I got over it. I buy whatever set I want without a care as to the "colour" of the bricks. I build castle, and only castle, so grey is a big colour for my building. I had quite a bit of old grey, but now I have quite a bit of new grey.... Here is the result... http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=105730 Quote
jonfett Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Uh oh... I have never seen Bley used as scenery or along side other colors used for scenery... .. why bley will never look good as scenery.. I learnt the hard way, so you don't have to! ;) Jon. Quote
The Middleman Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 .. why bley will never look good as scenery It worked just fine for me. Yeah, that's all bley. Quote
blueandwhite Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Bley looks fine... so long as it isn't mixed with grey. The flip-side of that is that grey also looks fine, so long as it isn't mixed with bley. The results are far less-noticeable with light-grey/bley, as these two colours aren't as potent as dark-grey/bley. Mixing dark-grey/bley successfully is simply NOT POSSIBLE! I think people are still missing the point. Most of us with large collections of classic-grey (particularly dark-grey) aren't too fond of new-grey(bley). We aren't going to contaminate our collection with new grey. Those of you who own only a small amount of classic grey would be wise to move on. Old grey isn't coming back. It isn't going to get cheaper, and it certainly isn't going to become easier to find. Many old-school fans dismiss anything built from new-grey, but it doesn't change the fact that it is the only grey LEGO plans on producing from this point on. The fact that the last of the classic-grey service packs sold slowly in Europe, and are still available in North America doesn't help things for us old-timers either. Changing grey to bley was perhaps the biggest blunder LEGO could have made. Still, its done. Newer collectors can either adapt, or acquire old-grey at an inflated price. Its that simple!!! Later.

Sting Posted November 19, 2005 Author Posted November 19, 2005 The bley in TroyTMoores AMAZING MOC doesn't look too bad... I actually don't mind it... Heres an idea! WILL SOMEONE WITH LOTS OF BLEY AND GREY TAKE SOME PICTURES OF... A) An all bley castle wall on a green baseplate with some green and newbrown scenery built up around it... B) Same thing with Dark Bley... C) And how about a bunch of Black Falcons along side some Vikings or other bley figures! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted November 19, 2005 Governor Posted November 19, 2005 And then we can truly see what this bley looks like! Quote
Sting Posted November 20, 2005 Author Posted November 20, 2005 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=153762 This is NOT my gallery... I simply found it... but it is a Dark Bley Wall... Looks pretty nasty compared with the green! (Those figures are Viking Figs and are thus Dark and Light Bley) I need more examples... Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted November 20, 2005 Governor Posted November 20, 2005 Now what's wrong with that? Quote
blueandwhite Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Really, unless you have bley and grey side-by-side, the difference isn't going to be terribly significant. It looks just dandy if you don't mix it with classic-grey. The colour change is terrible, but as I stated earlier, it shouldn't matter if you don't mix your bley and grey together :-D . That photo of a bley wall by Nathan Wells is a great example. Later. Quote
Sting Posted November 20, 2005 Author Posted November 20, 2005 It could just be the picture... but the bley and green SEEM to contrast... maybe its because it is Dark Bley? Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted November 20, 2005 Governor Posted November 20, 2005 We just don't have enough experience with building with bley to know yet. Do we? Quote
ImperialJohn Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 How many colors do you see in the 4 bricks just above the plate? :| Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted November 20, 2005 Governor Posted November 20, 2005 Well its hard to say. It could be one. Or it could be three not counting the black. Hard to tell from the pic. You'll have to send me the pieces so I can inspect them personally. Quote
El Bucanero Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 The horrors of bley, maybe a bit off-topic but what about ''the horrors of reddish brown''? Is it gonna stay reddish, or are there still sets with the old brown? I like the old brown better that new, why does lego needs to change the colours! Quote
