Someone named sidersdd over on Eurobricks posted this:
Comparison of azure blue against (from left to right) dark blue, blue-violet, blue, sand blue, bright light blue, medium blue, Maersk blue, aqua, and dark turquoise:

I thought it might be helpful.

Wait, so they're a completely new blue?

I thought they'd just go with medium blue. I hope they plan on using that blue in future sets, it looks nice and it would be a shame if those minifigs weren't compatible with anything.

Also, happy belated birthday, Apollyon.

Happy birthday Apollyon!

@ aoffan: the blue actually fits in quite well with the rest of the blue in the set, it doesn't stand out... but I agree, they need to make some bricks in that

Just received a big box of second hand Bionicles and Lego which I got disgustingly cheap. The on-line auction had a photo of a few Bionicles and the text said there was some Lego as well, but no picture of the Lego. Because there were some white Bionicles in the picture I put in a very modest bid because I like to make steam walkers from those particular ones. When the box arrived I was amazed, all the Bionicles were neatly sorted into seperate plastic bags along with their book and one bag had a nice little note in it apologising for a part being missing. Made me feel a right heel because all I do with the Bionicles I buy is dump the loose parts altogether into a storage box and use them as raw material for Steampunk MOCs.
There was a ton of Lego in the box, mixed bits from all kinds of sets including some parts I'd been about to buy on Bricklink. Going by what I'd received there would have to be an awful lot of Lego still down the back of the couch or in the sandpit that I didn't get, but I'm not complaining. The thing is though with better pictures and description the vendor would've got a lot more bids than they did instead of just my solitary low price bid.

Apart from that I got a big order of tiles from Bricklink because I never seem to have enough of them when I want them.

I sold an old 3D Millenium Falcon Puzzle I've had lying around in my closet forever for $52. I'm saving it for Brickworld.

Got my bricklink order for the A.R.K. bits, but I'm stupid and apparently forgot to hit add to cart a couple times. Missing some incredibly important pieces, chief among them being T joints.

i did the same thing with the first order, i had to source a few basic bits from my collection to assemble the minimechs.

Same here, I did that too the first time I put in an order on Bricklink.

Not going to do that again (sigh). I'd had all kinds of bricks ordered and purchased over the past couple of weeks and due to bad weather and Holy Week and one thing and another they all arrived today (or it seemed like it anyway).
Bricklink orders, random bags of 2nd hand bricks, partial sets, lots of bionicles, Technic stuff........ Oy Vey!

So it's been sort sort sort all blinking day - arrrrggghh!
