Uneven coloring in chrome shields from 4819

A Meijer's near me has finally brought out their stock
of the "chrome" Knight's Kingdom sets, including 4819 with
the chrome teardrop shield.  I picked up three, and all
had two problems.

First, they actually contained the instructions to 4818,
instead of the correct instructions.  I can "fix" this by
calling LEGO Consumer Affairs.

The shield is odd too, however.  All three have a circle
about 1/2 inch in diameter, staring right at the top of the
Bull's head, where the "chrome" color is applied much less
than on the rest of the shield -- it's  almost as if the
gray color of the shield itself is showing through.

Has anyone else experienced these problems?

I bought one of each (4816-19) the other day. 4819 had it's correct instructions, but it did have the funny shield too. I haven't decided if I am going to call up Consumer Affairs and complain or just let it be. -Jason Spears (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Das ist richtig, ich habe 60x #4819 gekauft, in jedem Set ist das Schild so. Viele Grüße, René www.1000steine.de (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)

The shield-void looks like it is intentional. There's a kind of screen printing pattern around it. (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle)
