Abs Plastic Lego Materials 3.0 (Cycles + Eevee!)
Transparent bricks distort light rays as they pass through, and in real life those distortions cause reflective and refractive caustics to illuminate surrounding objects. In Blender, this effect can be enabled in Render > Light Paths > Reflective/Refractive Caustics. If they still seem dark, you may need to turn up the number of light bounces for Transparency and Transmission.
Navigate to the Material Properties menu, choose an ABS plastic color similar to the one you wish to create, and click the plus symbol next to its name to create a duplicate of the material. Now all you have to do is change the diffuse color, and tune any other parameters to achieve the look you're going for!
Dust and fingerprints can be controlled with the Fingerprints slider in the Materials > ABS Plastic Materials tab, and the scratches and bumps can be controlled with the Displacement slider. Make sure that your meshes are unwrapped in edit mode (3D Viewport > Mesh > UV Unwrap > Smart UV Project), and be sure to light the scene so that the bricks have specular highlights.
Yes, the ABS Plastic Materials work perfectly in Blender 2.8 and look great in the EEVEE render engine!
