Black webcam in 9736 ?

[DrJB]

In the bottom of picture for 9736-1, Bricklink is showing a black camera, that I can't find anywhere else. I know of a single webcam released in two different colors, a bluish vision command in 9731-1 and a gray x86px1. Anyone has more info about the black webcam in the bricklink picture. Also, that same picture shows an RCX brick that is NOT part of 9736.

I am having trouble finding it as well.

Could this be a "preliminary image issue"?

TLG changed the color at some point before production.

[DrJB]

That is what I thought as well i.e., most likely an earlier prototype in a different color. However, looking carefully at both pics, the camera bodies/shapes are VERY different. Unless, possibly, the black cam is a 'photoshopped' image of a webcam that never existed.

There has never been a black camera just the VC and The studio one (Which are very similar)

Thank you but, I got that set already ... the thread is more about the black webcam ... which never made it to production.

It does look black in that pic, you can see the blue on the top as well though
