Dice in the old D&D starter boxes?

[Markus Darwath]

'82 sounds about right for when I got my Basic and Expert boxes. They both had black crayons. My d6 and d10 from the Basic box are both yellow, and the d4 is orange. I distinctly remember the d8 being orange also, but I seem to have lost it along with the d12 and d20 whose colors I don't recall. I'm also missing the blue d6, d12, and d20 from the Expert box, and so sadly can't even make a three-color set.
