Why did you had to tell me about this orange harpoon piece? Now I need to buy it 😂 I had no idea it has glitter in it, which as you're saying makes it only piece in this color ever existing. Awesome video, love your content about cool unknown lego facts.
I love the pastel and vibrant colors, and am glad that LEGO has been producing some of these lately! The Flamingo Pink is very pretty, it's awesome that it glows! 😍
Check out my comment above about my unique relationship with color. To me pink, purple, blue, and stuff are impossible to distinguish. They're all different shades of the same color. Love talking about color though, even though it's all book learning. I've read tons of books, encyclopedias and other reference material about how we perceive, classify and measure. Color. Did you know that before computers there were only 255 colors on a kind of 'table of elements' looking chart? VGA monitors in the '80s bumped it up over two million and now HD HiDef 5G screens allow billions! Too many to possibly name all of them, computer capability allows changing the frequency of the three primary colors in subtle ways making it possible for almost infinite variation! Amazing stuff!
One rare piece that I tried to find (and eventually did for a yellow lightsaber for the Rise of Skywalker Rey) is the translucent yellow rod in the Lego DC set Green Lantern vs Sinestro. The rod is part of Sinestro's staff. As far as I know, that is the only set to ever used it. Not an easy peace to find.
@Steve Gallo so she does usually come with green, blue then there is another one thats like greenish yellow but definitely not the same yellow as the sinestro set
I like all your LEGO videos, but this one is essentially fascinating to me. I like talking about color and I know a whole lot about it but it's only book learning! You see I'm colorblind. And not simply red Green colorblind like 80% of the worlds colorblind population...my retinas are so devoid of rods and cones that I barely see and differentiate primary colors. Secondary and tertiary colors are really hard for me to tell apart. I remember, back in the 1980's, there were like nine or ten Lego colors. Only totally clear for transparent ones, no pinks or purples, no orange, no brown, one green, one blue, one red, one yellow, one grey, you get the idea. My first best most favorite set from those days was the now classic airport. It had like five or six of them. I already owned some inheritance Lego from the late '70s and I had some old pieces, but even as more colors were added I had no friggin' idea how far they were gonna go. When Blacktron came out I had to ask my dad about the transparent yellow ones. " Is that green or yellow" I could not tell. Then pirates with brown and dark grey pieces. Then later on more blue pieces including the transparent blue. Then high school, culinary school and life without LEGO for over twenty years. I got back into Lego in the last 18 months and I currently have more LEGO than I originally gave away back in '95! Went to brickfest Denver back in October...that mosaic thing they did was super cool! I was almost completely useless though! So many colors now that even normally sighted folks were having trouble. I don't seem to have trouble with black and white pieces and I was walking around the group asking the participants for the colors of tiles the others were looking for. So that was fun! I noticed some stuff there about folks having trouble with certain pinkish and purplish colors between the guide sheets and the actual required colors. I remembered that a couple hours ago when I saw your video about pink LEGO. Absolutely fascinating info. I love LEGO, even when I owned none, I still purchased for friends kids! But really, aren't there just too many colors of LEGO now? I realize my just not having the ability to look at a piece and tell you what color it is. I pretty much guess based on what it looks like compared to other things which somebody has told me what color it is. I always thought cantaloupes were green throughout because I asked someone " what color is cantaloupe?" They said green. I remembered then later when trimming the peel off one the Chef said " you gotta cut off the green stuff." So, that pretty much demonstrates my relationship with color. I I love talking about color though. It's like a magic y'all have that I will never understand!
The original colors of Lego are red, blue, yellow, black, and white. Green was only used for trees and baseplates. Transparent was special, and grey came later. Rails were blue, and jumpers were white 2x8 plates.
Vibrant Yellow also glows under UV, I discovered when I got the Off-Road Race Buggy the other day. I was like, "wtf is this color?" and had to check. It reminds me of an old mega blox block I had randomly in my lego box as a kid and never used, but never threw away.
Slight correction: There were some events that gave away chrome Vader polybags. I actually got a couple from LEGOLAND back in the day during a special event
I have four 2x4 stud chrome silver bricks. They came from 1998 lego system brick boxes, with one silver brick per box. As I have never seen the chrome silver 2x4 used in any other sets and they are getting close to 30 years old, I always thought that they were a little bit more rare.
Great video I'm surprised that the black chrome Darth Vader is only $450 don't get me wrong that's a lot of money but I would expect it to go for more especially because of the low quantity.
I hate videos like these, they remind me of all the now-valuable stuff I had as a kid that got thrown out or lost. A couple hundred dollars for a Lego brick here, a few thousand for a Ninja Turtle there, I could’ve been set for life.
I stopped buying Lego pieces, I just get bricks from different manufacturers and since Lego has been on a massive cost cutting trip over the last 20 years they don't even have the quality argument anymore.
I'd argue that Lego pieces are of MUCH higher quality than they were 20 years ago. As nostalgic as I am towards the old sets, the brick quality was HORRIBLE. Pieces frequently got discolored, cracked, broken, or otherwise damaged. And it wasn't even limited to Brittle Brown either. Minifigure torsos and arms cracked all the time.
Oh man.. I've got that Darth Vader twice 😅.. Both in great condition. I wonder if it's worth to wait until they become even more expensive and sell one 🤔.
my local lego store sells like cups of lego bricks of choice and one of the choices were 6x1 sandgreen bricks and when I bought them I didn't know it was rare so that's nice
A colour I think Lego needs to reintroduce is Pearl copper. Much like it much more common colour pearl gold, pearl copper is a metallic colour that has a glitter like shine to it. One common source of this colour back in the day was the arms and legs of the bad guy robots from Lego Exo Force. I know the steam punk community would wild over a proper copper colour to work with.
i don't remember if i had the chrome vader, but when i was really young, i went to a daycare ran out of a house in my neighborhood and i'd always bring legos to play with and one of the daughters of the people who ran the daycare (who was probably more than 5 years older than me) would play with me. one day i realized my vader minifigure was gone and to this day i believe she stole it from me. was my favorite miniature just for the cape
Those sand green Marconi bricks come in two different molds. The ones used in Ninjago City are the common ones, so don’t get all excited like I did at first, lol
Today, there a so many colors. Unfortunately, there are also so many off-color pieces that the Lamborghini Sian never has two pieces with the same shade of lime green. 😆
If I made my own Lego spinoff it would have 48 colors in total 1 Red 2 Blue 3 Green 4 Brown 5 Yellow 6 White 7 Black 8 Orange 9 Purple 10 Gray 11 Pink 12 Sky blue 13 Lime green 14 Magenta 15 Beige 16 Gold 17 Silver 18 Metallic blue 19 Metallic green 20 Metallic purple 21 Metallic red 22 Neon pink 23 Neon yellow 24 Pastel blue 25 Pastel green 26 Pastel pink 27 Pastel purple 28 Pastel orange 29 Blue gray 30 Purple gray 31 Green gray 32 Brown gray 33 Translucent 34 Translucent black 35 Translucent red 36 Translucent green 37 Translucent blue 38 Translucent yellow 39 Translucent orange 40 Translucent purple 41 Translucent pink 42 Translucent lime 43 Translucent cyan 44 Translucent magenta 45 Translucent tan 46 Translucent blue gray 47 Translucent maroon 48 Translucent forest
We got one of the black chrome Darth Vaders as a kid and we totally ruined it being kids. I wish my parents had taken it and kept it safe for when we were old enough to appreciate it. Have a few of the parts lying around somewhere but their condition is very poor.
Great vid! It’s weird, I have a ton of the rarer colors that appeared in older sets, but something as common as lime green is foreign to me, since it was produced more in the 2010’s when I took a break from lego during college.
I doubt this one is that rare, and I don't know what it was called, but one color I've only seen in some older sets was like an ultramarine/cobalt blue. I have some pieces from a "Knight's Kingdom" set (which I believe include the King's torso piece), but I haven't seen them in any newer sets since that theme.

Red and yellow, green LEGO COLOR
Is the mic a little loud or is it just me?
bud forgot about sand red

Awesome video, love your content about cool unknown lego facts.
hey man, i have a question. is the color light mint green rare? if you see this please respond bcuz i'm very curious
Fluorescent colours, like that Flamingo Pink, would be an amazing addition
I love the pastel and vibrant colors, and am glad that LEGO has been producing some of these lately!
The Flamingo Pink is very pretty, it's awesome that it glows! 😍

Yo Legos😊
Yo Lakers are the best😊❤❤
The newest solid color introduced before Vibrant Yellow was Vibrant Coral.
Flamingo Pink was used for part 4278579.
Glad to say i have a chrome Vader in very good condition.
And it was a steal.
I honestly feel kinda bad for the guy i bought it from in hindsight.
Haha😅

Does Asohka not have a yellow lightsaber?
@@awkwardone Not that I've seen. I've seen Ahsoka's with blue lightsabers and with green lightsabers.
@Steve Gallo so she does usually come with green, blue then there is another one thats like greenish yellow but definitely not the same yellow as the sinestro set
@@awkwardone Don't know if I've seen that one.
@@stevegallo8483 i know she got it in the original clone turbo tank set (8098)
3:43 I heard from a thumbnail and video title that this series actually saved Lego from going out of business! Apparently it was a full documentary…
I like all your LEGO videos, but this one is essentially fascinating to me.

If Barbie and Lego had a child.. Belville💀💀
And scala

Youre so true man 💀💀💀
Bruhh💀
That also includes Lego Friends and Elves too!

I love that the most common Lego color is lime green, because lime green is my favorite color! Nice video SpitBrix!
Keep up the good work! 👍
I really like Lime green, too! Power Miners had a great color scheme.
A metallic red Iron Man would be really cool.
Was surprised to discover that vibrant green is that common. One of my favorite colors and I thought it's pretty rare, lol.
Slight correction: There were some events that gave away chrome Vader polybags. I actually got a couple from LEGOLAND back in the day during a special event
I have had the idea for a video like this for over a year now but other TH-camrs wouldn’t do it. Cool to see it done
the Darth Vader pieces were not the only ones to use black Crome, I remember getting a brick keychain of the same color.
1:55 plankton
1:02
Weird fact the LEGO modoc has a trans green minifig head in side the head
I would love to see a second video about obscure lego colours; for real!!
I'm kind of surpised lime is such a cheap color. This color is ideal in a lot of builds to use as 'hidden' parts.
Lord of the rings and Hobbit sets feature a lot of sand green pieces. Also Ninjago has been using them a lot recently
Most people: It's just bits of plastic, what's the big deal?
Me: OOGA BOOGA SPECIAL COLOR MUST HAVE IT

Now I know what to make the primary color for Mana's (an oc) partner build when I get that far

0:36 hell, it glows under black light! And
i always wanted a video about the rare lego colors :o ty ^^
Oh man.. I've got that Darth Vader twice 😅.. Both in great condition. I wonder if it's worth to wait until they become even more expensive and sell one 🤔.
I actually haven't sold my 2010 Hogwarts castle because of the sand green
Given Lego's terrible colour quality control, these were probably intended to be just a few standard colours, but they didn't work out.
my local lego store sells like cups of lego bricks of choice and one of the choices were 6x1 sandgreen bricks and when I bought them I didn't know it was rare so that's nice

I have a lego color sorting baseplate: if the piece does not have a logo/has a different logo (if is pirate i mean) i still put it there even thought
I think we can conform Spitbrix lives ether underwater or in low gravity.
Spitbrix keeps saying: “LEGO pieces floating around”
5:59 proud to say i have this piece😊
Wonderful colors!
i don't remember if i had the chrome vader, but when i was really young, i went to a daycare ran out of a house in my neighborhood and i'd always bring legos to play with and one of the daughters of the people who ran the daycare (who was probably more than 5 years older than me) would play with me. one day i realized my vader minifigure was gone and to this day i believe she stole it from me. was my favorite miniature just for the cape
Those sand green Marconi bricks come in two different molds. The ones used in Ninjago City are the common ones, so don’t get all excited like I did at first, lol
5:28 These would be best served in Superman MOCs
I have the icecream truck police chase set 😱
I remember that crystal, my brother had one. He also had that big chunky bottom of the rocket that made sound effects.
You are unique because you are showing pictures off and not building in purpose and I love it🙂
I completely forgot about the chrome green crystal I have hidden away in a lego rock from the spaceship set! 5:25
The newly proposed Dark Saber is somewhat more fitting than its predecessor. It's not great but it's good.
I remember those Chrome Vaders! saw some early youtube videos of people bringing scales to weigh their polybags because the chrome ones are heavier
Today, there a so many colors. Unfortunately, there are also so many off-color pieces that the Lamborghini Sian never has two pieces with the same shade of lime green. 😆
The Time I’m at is 2:37
I knew I recognized that metallic green mineral, I still have that classic space set at home !
That settles it, time to build the UCS Millennium Falcon in lime green 🫡

I remember when me and my bro were hyped to get purple brick
let's not forget about bionicle gold and copper
those are only used in masks
We got one of the black chrome Darth Vaders as a kid and we totally ruined it being kids. I wish my parents had taken it and kept it safe for when we were old enough to appreciate it. Have a few of the parts lying around somewhere but their condition is very poor.
i really wish they would bring back sand purple and sand red
I love all these videos that go into obscure things, like colors ^^
I would kill for Metallic Black. I build mechs and robots and that is a great color for dark metals
the most recent new LEGO color [to my knowledge] is the Galaxy color used in the new Space series sets
Wanna give Bionicle fans PTSD? *Lime green joints*
8:14 Ironically, I don't. Seriously, I only have like 10-15 of these color bricks in my collection lol
Wasn't the most recent addition prior to the yellow vibrant coral, not teal?
2 words sand red
I really miss sand red. An absolutely perfect colour for brickwork
Dark bluish gray? I always called it cadet blue!
(Because of the Crayola color for that matter)
in very old lego sets you had yellow blocks you could look trough
Chrome needs to come back but which the meatal color is underneath to keep looking better.
I want an army of metallic black frogs.
Great video
Thanks for your research. This was very informative! Love your content. :)
>Lime green is the most common piece colour
*Bionicle socket joint PTSD intensifies*
Great vid! It’s weird, I have a ton of the rarer colors that appeared in older sets, but something as common as lime green is foreign to me, since it was produced more in the 2010’s when I took a break from lego during college.
I used to call Sand Green "Harry Potter Green" when I was little.
batter name
OOPS I WROTE BATTER
Thanks! I am now realise how valuable my parts are.
I love how they’ll throw a random odd colored brick hidden in there sets lol 😅
I feel very old now, i have tons of legos sets and none of than have these fancy colors, not even standard green.
8:14 i have that colour from lego friends/lego city sets
Did you know on the colour palette they also included the transparent ones
You talked about sand green, but sand blue is even more rare, and sand red has completely disapear
The vibrant yelow also react under uv ;)
Whats the # of clickits set that has the flower piece?
I thought the sparkly yellow thing was a crochet hook 💀
Wasn’t there a lego keychain that had black chrome paint?
The LEGO Overwatch Wrecking Ball set also contains a lot of sand green.
great video spit brix!! (first btw)
Cool
What about Maersk blue?
No chrome black was used in a Lego 2x4 brick keychain
only if my 11yo self realised how rare my 5th darth vader was... 💀💀
Great vid again but what happen to lost but not forgotten series those were great
I've got that darth vader
I’ve got chrome, swamp, lots of clear colors
flamingo pink is cool
I doubt this one is that rare, and I don't know what it was called, but one color I've only seen in some older sets was like an ultramarine/cobalt blue. I have some pieces from a "Knight's Kingdom" set (which I believe include the King's torso piece), but I haven't seen them in any newer sets since that theme.
Check set 70835. It released with plenty of cobalt blue bricks
I’m still waiting for LEGO Enemies to come out. LEGO Friends is overdone.
Enemies! Enemies! Enemies! Yeah!
