Aanchir Posted October 31, 2011 TLG is taking over Eurobricks! All the staff are Brickbots now. I think they're the TLG colours for bricks and their photos correspond with their colour. Alas, nope. The first number, 3001, specifies a 2x4 brick. The following numbers are Bricklink's color IDs, not TLG's. Thus: def = 3001/13 = 2x4 brick in Trans-Black (TLG's 111 Transparent Brown) I Scream Clone = 3001/6 = 2x4 brick in Green (TLG's 28 Dark Green) Khorne = 3001/29 = 2x4 brick in Earth Orange (TLG's 12 Light Orange Brown) Derfel Cadarn = 3001/87 = 2x4 brick in Sky Blue (TLG's 232 Dove Blue) Rick = 3001/59 = 2x4 brick in Dark Red (TLG's 154 Dark Red) Pandora = 3001/5 = 2x4 brick in Red (TLG's 21 Bright Red) etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Any with "pb####" in their names specifies a decoration, not a color. It's a cute naming scheme. While I would have personally preferred TLG colors to be referenced, the typical way to do that would involve using element IDs rather than design and material IDs, and besides some basic colors where the element ID is just the design followed by the material, those are quite unpredictable. I can't think of anyone who has them memorized, so that would make matters even more confusing for everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ardelon Posted October 31, 2011 Plan 3001 from Outer Space: replace all authority figures with brain-eating aliens to prepare the stage for Alien Conquest! Well, thanks to Aanchir we know what the numbers stand for; now the main question remaining is: why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted October 31, 2011 Well, thanks to Aanchir we know what the numbers stand for; now the main question remaining is: why? It's just for fun. Last time it was chemical elements, I believe. JipH was hydrogen, Hincklium was helium, etc. I remember Dragoldnator the most, just because his all-yellow posts were so annoying to read.

K-Nut Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Common sense points that if you start a topic like this, the staff will pretend that you're crazy, and say that everything is fine, making you feel like a dork, especially if you comment here. Now I'm leaving before they notice I'm here. AGH! Even Sandy is assimilated now! He's 3001/01!!! AGH!!!! You know that Sandy is a FFOL, right?
