Pink barding question

Post by Tyrant »

I know the pink Kingdoms parts have probably been discussed at length, but I do have one question (and I apologize if this is the wrong forum). I have 3 copies of the Prison Tower Rescue set. All 3 had pink instead of white on the horse barding. I got replacements for them recently, and they too were pink. The figures that I had replaced were all the proper white color. So, my question is, does anyone actually have one of these horse barding pieces that is the correct white color? Do they actually exist or are they all pink?

I got a barding with the King's Castle in June 2010, and a barding with the Prison Tower Rescue in December 2010 (from different parts of the USA), and both are pink. So far, I have yet to receive a torso or barding that is white. Since I don't collect that faction anyway (in part due to colour problems), in my mind their colours truly are Red and Pink.

Mine from my copies of the King's Castle were fine, and all of my soldiers from recent purchases have been fine as well. It's just this one part, and the replacements I got, that are pink (for me) and I haven't found anyone that has a white one.

Edit: To clarify, I mean the horse barding pieces from my copies of the King's Castle, which are a different design, are white and not pink.

My barding is white in color (For which I am thankful for...)

Gentlemen...and I am talking to the two who posted above me. You are off topic. CC has a clear statement that comments need to be on topic. This is not a chat room, it is a forum and a discussion of pink bardings. Not a place to post one line attempts at humor. Please review the TOS for Classic Castle.

Same thing for me - I complained about the pinkness and they sent me an even pinker replacement.

I am also looking for a "sure" answer too. Recently I had opened 2 sets of Prison Tower and another 2 is still in mint. I, too have also obtained replacement parts from TLG but unfortunately, these bardings still exist in the very same pink condition. I haven't opened the big castle yet and I wonder if the barding is the same.

I understand that some of you managed to get the barding in white and I am wondering what should be the right standard colour for the printed barding. Pink or White based on TLG production standard? If pink is the correct standard on the global platform, then I think there is nothing we can do. Am I right to assume this way? I don't want to use the replacement service, if they are going to replace me with the very same part which is not correct in the first place. So, any advise will be very much helpful.

Mine off of Kings Castle is white and mine off of Prison Tower Rescue is white with a hint of pink. Both are from the USA. ~KnightMan~

I have one of each type of the Lion barding, and they each have very pale pink instead of white. It's impossible to notice without looking really closely. I also have one of the quatered torsos that is fairly pink.

Like I have said on a other topic about this problem with the white/pink barding. 1 Kings brading is with the other I have is pinkish, the knights barding from prison tower set is pink. What is the correct color, surely it is white but the most common is pinkish I think. And theres nothing we can do about it, has seen from how many has got replacements and they are too pink and pinkish. I understand it can bother some that the barding aint red and white but me for one doesn't mind about it.
