Wonder how long Lego spent workshopping a name for their polybags? :)

Color: check.
Light: check.
Name checks out.

Studios is just full of weird little add ons like this; I can only assume there were parts needed shifting

Color light's friend 4057

“ It's one of 46 Studios sets produced that year” - wow!

Man, both the rmotd and the rsotd are boring today, huh...

Oh hey I recognize this
I had this as a kid!

Rare, collectible and much sought after.

One of the more boring ones of this promo series. There were a few unique minifigs (actually they were common ones, but with a Lego logo print on the back for some reason) and of cause the rare colored Dinosaurs parts.

Does anyone know a bit more of the promotion itself? Given there were 24 different polybags to collect, this sounds like a lot of Coke to drink for a what - 1-2 months event?

No wonder LEGO almost went bankrupt at that time

Still better than 4071.

Quite specific, which is good for this kind of polybag to be. You won't feel left out if you don't get it, but when you do you can add some variety to your Studios collection!

I don't know where these polybags were distributed, but if you look at them as Advent Calender sized builds and that you can get a wide range of them, these must have been neat to encounter. At least, as long as they were priced lower than a full 'set' polybag.

There were many mishaps in 2001, but this isn't on the level as many other... things back then. These were probably a limited run anyway. Well, except for the recolors that were made just for this series in other sets from this polybag lineup. That was probably not a great move for Lego at the time.

3263 from the same year say, ‘Aw c’mon man’"

You've brought that up before, and again I will remind you that it's aimed at literal toddlers.

Lireal toddler, proverbial toddler... AFODs won't care!

"Overture, curtains, lights
This is it, the night of nights
No more rehearsing and nursing a part
We know every part by heart...:D"

Meh.

“It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight”

Lamp: {Eh, what do I care? I’m an inanimate object!}

Them’s fight in’ words! I bought a copy of that set specifically because it’s the only source of trans-clear 1x1 cones, which I needed to represent PAB cups in my LEGO Store.

My word, that's insane. I never would have guessed that common of a part and color would have only come in one set, and in a super-obscure promotional polybag of abject lameness at that. Even more so because it's a polycarbonate piece, which they've usually been stingy about because they required different molds.

This polybag series also had several unique dinosaur part colors, including the orange dragon arms. Are there any other shocking surprises?

So yeah, echoing @Cabko, no wonder LEGO almost went bankrupt at that time.

@PurpleDave:...Hmmm...Muppets vs. Looney Tunes...A little more 'even' than Bugs and crew battling 'straight Dismal'. I mean: Mickey IS a worldwide 'icon', but I'd bet most would rather watch the wascally wabbit...could be wrong though.:)

Also, just realize; there's a bit of a metaphor going on here: Balance...and of course you know 'the source'.:D
Green=Will
Yellow=Fear
Blue=Hope
Red=Hate/Rage

@AllenSmith:
Fortunately, it was shockingly cheap, considering I had to have it shipped from Japan in 2014 (maybe 2016?).

@brick_r:
You could technically add black to that list.

What is the actual purpose of coloured stage lights IRL?

Lighting the stage with coloured light to enhance the scene. Varying the brightness of each colour changes the overall colour.

First and foremost, to provide light enough that the audience can see what's happening on stage. But if that's all anyone cared about, we could just stick to the ancient Greek format and perform plays during daytime in the open air. But with reliance on sunlight comes a nearly complete lack of control.

For a time, I actually considered a career in stage lighting design. The question isn't what can you do, but what can't you do with lighting. You can use it to establish mood, setting, or time of day. You can use it to draw focus, as a primitive form of special effect, or even to represent a character (this is a common trick for Tinkerbell in the play Peter Pan). But lighting the stage with stark white light gets utterly boring, and quickly.

In my theatre days, we had swatch books of colored lighting gels that measured over two inches thick combined. They ranged from neutral greys of different intensities used to adjust brightness without changing the color temp, to deeply saturated colors that will make the stage and cast look like they've been dipped in paint. Blending different colors can create visual interest. My lighting professor's favorite color was Roscolux Surprise Pink, a very pale shade of purple. The reason he liked it was because you could use it as sidelight, and it can serve as a warm accent to a cool wash, or just as easily a cool accent to a warm wash, and you've just saved hanging and circuiting a second set of lighting instruments.

With gobos (a thin sheet of metal with a pattern cut into it), you could pair blue with a cloud gobo to represent the sky, or green with leaf and/or tree gobos to suggest you're in a forest. An explosion of gunpowder might be represented by a flash of one color, or a magic effect by one in a different color. In dance, the cyclorama that I mentioned previously (a solid white backdrop, usually with 3-4 color strip lights set at the base and top) might be illuminated in a solid wash of light, while the dancers on the stage are left in total darkness, so the audience sees them in silhouette.

Two of the lighting designs I presented in college were for a play called Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, and for an original modern dance piece. For the former, I picked a color for each character, and switched between them to establish dominance. Whenever Hamlet's uncle was on stage, his color lit the stage. Only with R&G (the characters of least import in Hamlet) were alone did you see their color used. For the dance piece, it was about the cycle of life from birth to death, so I lit the stage like the sun. Starting on one side with dimly lit in a deeply warm color to suggest sunrise, then coursing overhead in full intensity for midday sun, and finally returning to the original colors from the other side for sunset.

This is just a glimpse at what you can use color for in stage lighting. The full answer is as varied as if you asked someone what they could possibly build with little colored interlocking bricks made of plastic. You are only limited by your imagination. Well, and in the case of stage lighting, also by your breaker panel.
