“Unlike "actual" Lego, which needed to be produced in strictly controlled colors for the bricks to match, the molded plastic vehicles had no such color restrictions, and the people doing the molding seemed to use this to let their repressed color-choice creativity run wild.... More The number of documented colors is slightly silly, and there were even metallic-effect plastics.”
