This was actually the first of the new Prisoner sets I opened, because I was
very interested in the supply of Purple.  And yes, it all matches pefectly!  All
the hubbub over the prototype and toyfair pictures was just as I thought, wind.


No, I don't think so.  Cary Clark has picked up two copies of the Knight
Bus, one from Wal-Mart and one from KB Toys.  In both cases the color
variations across the purple bricks is noticeable.  The color variation is
not limited to purple though, it affects blue as well as I have noticed it a
quite a few blue parts lately.


Same here.  Picked one up.  Very noticable color variations in the purple.  I
keep meaning to call to complain.  Even between the same kind of piece (train
windows, or 2x4 bricks, for example) there is variation.  Its just
unsatisfactory.

Fear not!  The Purple Pack is fine! :o)

I'll like the set and will likely by many copies of it even with the
varience in color.


While I suppose if they ever fix the problem, these variations will be valuable,
I still prefer some color consistency in my model.

I noticed very minor differences in dark gray parts in the new Hogwarts castle. I wasn't so happy, but the differences are minor enough not to be a huge problem. "Alfred Speredelozzi" <alfredjr@alum.rpi.edu> wrote in message (...) (20 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.harrypotter)
