Josh..in my house NO ONE SMOKES and I have noticed some 6 months ago that when
you put alot of dark gray tiles together they do not match( I used a large
number on that pepsi building roof edge and a ton on that road in my flatiron
block) This is not a new thing with dark gray and most deff. not a smoke
thing.Look at at this picture of my flatiron road and you can see the different
shades of dark gray..these this raod is some 4 months old and the all from new
tiles in early mid 2003.When the road was done this is how it looked not after
exposure. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=481673

This is from a friend of mine, Gareth Bowler:
Got into my first 2004 sets today; the MINI star destroyer set, and
promptly scrapped them for parts, only to find, to my shock and dismay,
that the colors don’t match. Further more, the studs are rounded, making
connections significantly weaker, and the parts overall just have a cheaper
feel to them.
The two parts labelled “old” are both from 2003 sets, and have never had a
chance to yellow or been exposed to sunlight. The photo was not altered in
any way and is the raw output from my scanner.

As I replied ON BL, i still think this is attributed to either light or air
quality. The old peices have what i consider “Smokers tinge”, my peices from
my youth have simlar discoloring, and my father smokes... I think its the
tar in the cigarette smoke. Josh
