Hi all,
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.
(snip)
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.

One idea did pop to mind: What if we have a batch of “lemons” here?
Maybe it’s just some bad bricks that slipped through the system. We’ve seen
elements of poor quality gone to market before; remember the first batch
“hydrolic” cylinders that went sour (pun intended) after a couple of weeks but
LEGO had the smarts to fix and replace to those who bought them. Maybe this is
just one of those things and LEGO will recognize the screw up (thanks to us) and
fix. After all, wasn’t it us who brought up the bad cylinders to LEGO?
My own $0.02
