I guess the cost factor may have been prohibitive... it is notable that these sets with Opal to date only have one element in the colour. I assume that's more to do with cost than novelty.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188856208086872634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-14763197715511907592020-01-09T15:30:10.146+00:002020-01-09T15:30:10.146+00:00For what it's worth, it looks *very* different...For what it's worth, it looks *very* different in person. It's hard to capture in a photo the way it plays with the light as you turn it. It's really kind of stunning. Plus, it's sort of a freebie color since it's just an additive to an existing color.Ryanhttp://ryanhowerter.net/colorsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-56442108268676316812020-01-09T02:13:51.336+00:002020-01-09T02:13:51.336+00:00I really don't see the need for so many simila...I really don't see the need for so many similar colours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-43263839958613785062020-01-08T22:12:36.266+00:002020-01-08T22:12:36.266+00:00I hadn't thought of that, thanks!I hadn't thought of that, thanks!Francescohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817530099019787080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-10954283023909813722020-01-08T14:13:46.366+00:002020-01-08T14:13:46.366+00:00When I saw those in pick-a-brick last year, I thou...When I saw those in pick-a-brick last year, I thought they were the same material as the old ones, just with a frosted surface texture.

We're seeing several that just look like regular trans or trans-glitter that are turning out to be trans-opal. Also, the element ID for the trans-pink-opal 1x4 panel discussed in comments below is incorrect, suggesting it was at one point intended to just be trans-pink.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188856208086872634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-16136620222536964172020-01-08T02:06:51.858+00:002020-01-08T02:06:51.858+00:00OK I have now seen pics, and have also received in...OK I have now seen pics, and have also received info that it is called 364 Transparent Medium Reddish Violet with Opalescence.

According to Brickset DB the number of new elements cast in 143 decreased from 5 in 2016 to 1 in 2018, and none are recorded in 2019. BrickLink backs this up with actual set information: it records the final sets containing parts in this colour being released in 2018.
