According to brickmerge there are several creator expert not yet released that already have an assigned code. Some time ago users here were discussing about 10269. Are there any news about it? https://www.brickmerge.de/LEGO-Advanced Models

Has anyone made the set 60204 (hospital) in ldd? Thanks

@Grover Thanks for your answer. I understood the first 2 parts but, sorry, not the third. I just wanted to know if a yellowed brick is more dangerous for health than a brand new brick (even for a kid) Thanks in advance

I have 3 questions for @Grover 1) I have some yellowed pieces of many colors from set produced between 2005 and 2010 and i've noticed that the treatment with just 3% h2o2 and sun works properly only on white and old gray pieces while the other colors fade, also the fading appears only where the brick was originally yellowed but leaves the rest of the brick's color unchanged: do you know why it happens? is it the reaction with the h2o2 that turns the color lighter or it just reveals the true color that has been changed by the sunlight? 2) If the bromine is the problem, would it be possible to just wash it away? I've googled it and found this -> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22575175/?i=2&from=/22236948/related is it useful for our lego? 3)Are the yellowed bricks dangerous/poisonous in any way differently from brand new bricks? And what about retrobrighted ones? Thanks in advance

I have this problem too. My city sets bought in the period 2005-2012 have turned yellow., and newer ones are starting I have tried the retr0bright method but beyond it being temporary, it also works ONLY on white and old gray (doesn't work on the "new" bluish gray), the other colors, including transparent, come out "foggy". In my opinion lego should do something very quickly about it because after my small and not super expensive sets have degraded in just about 10 years, I have some concerns for my newer expensive sets and also i'm starting to question myself if it's worth buying big sets as expensive as €350. I have researched the problem deeply and I've found out that pieces with hinges, locking hinge and other particular-shaped bricks are not affected AT ALL by the yellowing (examples: piece 87058, 44302, 44571) These pieces clearly doesn't contain bromine, so why do others have to? Maybe if there was a method to "wash away" bromine, the pieces would return to their original color... I'm not a chemist, nor i have any useful knowledge about chemistry, but this research -> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22575175/?i=2&from=/22236948/related looks like a suitable solution for our problem (notice that Methanol is poisonous so I don't want to try) And lastly, speaking of risks, since bromine also is dangerous for health, do we have to worry about our bricks not only looking bad but also being a danger? Sorry for the long post but this yellowing thing, for me being a very passionate collector, is very VERY annoying
