The entry for Fourth+ states "Five pre-colored dice in a small poly bag (no D10 or dice crayon)."

What are the five die?

What came with the yellow d4, pink d6, green d8, light blue d12, and white and red 0-9x2 d20?

If the 4th+ Basic Set has a poly bag with inked dice and no crayon, it's the same set found in earlier printings (yellow 4-sider, orange-red 6-sider, green 8-sider, light blue 12-sider, white 20-sided). This set was also sold separately as the Polyhedra Dice.

The white 20-sider and pink 20-sider were also available as a separate set in a poly bag, but not in Basic Sets. This set was found in the Gamma World and also sold separately as the Percentile Dice.

Thanks.

Based on this looks like I found a seller with an almost complete set, but missing d6 (looks like the original owner replaced it with two pink d6).
