    Well, then when's the next milestone so that I can get a Blue Egg? :)
    (I think it was produced by mistake)

    I agree. I would totally buy a Big Blue Egg, or a Big Red Egg. 

    Maybe @The_Buffalo can point out to management that many on this forum seem to be fascinated with eggs of a different color...

    Anyone's guess is as good or better than mine, perhaps y2k??? I could have heard wrong or did not get the full story, my source said it was special edition in 2000.  FWIW, this special edition XXL could be a mistake =)

    Yup it must be the colour-blind drunk painter down there that dropped a bottle of tequila and messed up the paint tint, NOT new coke like brilliant market research made in (BGE's not Coke's) Atlanta HQ  :s  

    Tony_T @HeavyG  sorry I don't have the definitive answer for you, perhaps you can ask Bruce at BGE and put it to rest? or keep on ...

    I want to be able to mix different base and dome colors. :)

    I bought mine in Florida in that area in that time period.  Posting pics over the years could be challenging because there is always a newbie saying it's not real, painted, a knock off, etc., etc.  Probably why even to this day I'm here only so often.  If it's not green some people can get not so nice.

    When I bought mine it had a dual hinge to open it.  Was a real pain.  I upgraded that to a single hinge you had to manually pull down when the top was open to release and lower the top.  Then I upgraded that to the spring assist.  I've changed the nest twice.  The gasket was changed once.  I upgraded the thermometer to a true temp.  

    All in all I love both my babies.


    Love that brother and still loving the goodies!

    That blue egg would make one helluva bottle warmer!!!  Hopefully he rethinks his choice and keep it!

    Dealer I bought my Blue Egg from sold it saying it was a limited edition Florida Gator Blue Egg.  I'm thinking being in Florida he was just saying that as a sales guy.  He just wanted to move them.  I've never heard any official reason for the blue color.  Other than they were tinkering with different colors and ran ~100-200 blue and that was it.

    I've always been curious about the color as well.

    Yes.  I own a blue egg!  Call Atlanta if you don't believe me!
