I'd enjoy the special weathering touch a bit more if it was further from being a bit uriney yellow. Weathered white isn't so great. I don't know the chemistry, but I'm pretty sure the sunlight must be a major catalyst though. That or brick material change. I've got old pieces from 35 years ago that spent their life mostly in the dark closest when not played with and pretty much all the white pieces are still white. Maybe not bright white, but definitely not yellowed.

Interesting, thanks, all. So, too late for the set, but upside, I guess I don't need to feel guilty about continuing to leave it in the sun longer.

I've got questions about the weathering damage on my Lego set for the white Saturn rocket. It's not the fact that sitting in sunlight for years has started discoloring it, I'm curious why the discoloration happened as it did. Instead of discoloring in bands matching where sun exposure most made it through slits in my blinds, some pieces are a discolored yellow while others are still plain white. Either a whole brick yellowed evenly at once or not at all and the ship is now a checkerboard of white and yellowed bricks. Why? And, once discolored, is there any way to rewhiten? I'm guessing not, but might as well ask. Thanks.
