[...] found another purple lego brick! In 2009, I blogged about how rare purple Lego bricks seem to be, so my boys were stoked when they found the single round piece above. We have always wondered why [...]

Ralph, that is VERY interesting. The next time it pops up I will take a closer look, something I’ve never done. It really looks, feels, and works like a real lego brick, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Though, that still doesn’t explain WHY they are so rare – why wouldn’t Lego make any? I mean, it’s one of the six main colors, and there are multiple shades of each of those. But no purple? It’s madness I tell you, madness! (c:

I have been collecting legos my hole life and the reason purple legos are rare is because most (a very small percent are) not even legos! check to see if it is a mega blok or something like that. the lesser percent that are legos do not come in the shade you have. (i have a couple from years past.

There has actually been quite a few series targeted towards girls that contained a lot of pastel colored pieces. My sister’s pieces used to get mixed up with mine all the time and then my friends would make fun of me when they found pink and purple pieces. Google image searches of Lego Belville will find a lot of sets from one of the more current series. There was also beach, pony stables, and house themed sets.

Purple is not very common, but you can buy purple pieces on Bricklink.

@David – Pink is sort of rare, unless you you have a girl in the family. It’s certainly not a common color, but there are plenty out there.

@Harriet – I’d love to see a pic. Our brick is a little more saturated than my photos show, so maybe they are the same color.

Although your purple brick doesn’t look the same as my purple bricks – unless your camera didn’t pick up the colour properly, mine are a brighter purple.
