Made an interesting discovery that everyone else may already know about (but I didn't see a thread when I searched).
I picked up an incomplete Hurricane on Ebay for fifteen bucks just to get the engine nozzle that mine was missing (PS - I'll be putting the now nozzle-less one back up for sale ;) ). When I opened up the box I realized it's a different color of blue than my other one. At first I thought it was just due to age/UV discoloration, but the incomplete one is perfectly and evenly colored a slightly more greenish-blue with no "shadows" of the original color when compared to the other. They both have 1990 date stamps, and as far as I know the Hurricane wasn't available as a mail-away (which often wound up colored slightly differently). Has anyone else noticed this? I took a picture but the camera doesn't do a very good job of picking up the difference - though you can still see it. When I use a color picker on the picture, it does indicate the top Hurricane is closer to the green on the color wheel when compared to bottom. |
