You raise an interesting point about the box art on the Bikini Bottom
Express: at what point can it be considered false advertising, since the
included model so obviously deviates from that pictured? On boxes of cereal,
for example, manufacturers always put a disclaimer to the effect of “Product
enlarged to show texture”; has LEGO reached the point of needing to include a
disclaimer stating, “Product rendered with CGI to cover flaws of actual
model” ? Of course, most of us would simply prefer that the model match the
box art as closely as possible. But at a minimum, perhaps LEGO needs to state
that the box art is an artistic representation of the actual product.
Incidentally, I used those same windows on a caboose of mine:
The orange panel windows it uses are from an earlier Sponge Bob set, and the
color discrepancy was still an issue then, although this latest set really
highlights it.

Perhaps it is due to Flextronics not having the quality control that Lego did.
Why they moved production to Juarez Mexico is beyond me. Perhaps very cheap
labor, less than $2.00 an hour might be the reason. Shades of overseas clothing
sweat houses.
Check the box next time you buy a Lego. “Components made in Denmark, Austria,
Hungary, Mexico and the Czech Republic” John P
