5: Green
most still in sealed boxes
Two of the orange are on these belt clip pully things so they are always to hand :)
2 Green Brick
1 Old Gray Brick
Have never seen the newer ones. :)
Are there any different colors for the new style yet, or just orange?
@Oldfan The one in Horizon express is green, according to bricklink.
Wonder what the chances of them selling on Bricklink are? None sold yet.
6 - Green
14 - Orange
I really dislike the new orange ones because they can't be used as 'pliers' like the old ones. Because of this i have a gradually growing pile of orange ones from all the new 2012 sets and soon to be green from 2013.
It was a life saver tonight when I was building the grand emporium. Put a few little bricks in the wrong spot and voila it managed to separate them with no issues.
Although I find plastic guitar picks to also be especially helpful for separating bricks and removing tiles, and I have a half-dozen of those at my "building station."
I only have orange ones and now I suddenly find myself wanting a green one.
/Puts down the laptop and slowly backs away before placing yet another Bricklink, [email protected], Amazon order.
2 Green
1 Orange
:D
I join two together on the technic axle using this
Plus more in unopened boxes - which I cannot be bothered to count.
That said, the new style is more ergonomically-friendly (at least to my hands), and I REALLY like having the ability to pop out those technic pins.

I have three now and I wish I had them when I was a child as lots of my old lego has bite marks where I used to hold one piece in my mouth to get it away from another :(
Great topic though @shpadoinkle. Mine are pretty dispersed too and about half are still in sealed boxes, so not got an accurate count, but looking on bricklink at the sets they are in, I am surprised but must have about 50 orange and 1 green. Have put some on bricklink (but guess not many will want to buy more!) and given a few to the kids, but definitely at overflow stage.
They are definitely a welcome addition. Other than my teeth, I also used knives as a kid to try to separate bricks. I'm lucky that I didn't hurt myself (that I recall, anyway).
I like they give them out in actual sets like the quinjet instead of just the assorted brick sets.
