I find very few, if no packing errors which always amazes me. Thousands of
parts in a set and they are always perfect. When I build sets with my Grand
daughter she will say this piece or that piece is missing. I tell her to look
harder, she does and then finds it. I think what is being talked about is not
packing errors, but color and tolerence errors. It would not be so noticable
today except that it didn't happen in the past. I have thousands of older sets
and i do not find a problems with color matching in any (except for the red and
yellow small parts made of a different plastic, the air tanks and 1x2 plate
ladders and 1x1 clips and headlight holder.) I have 2200 sets under set number
1000. I have just spent the last 2 years going through them and have not found
a color variation in any. When there was a part missing in my set and I went to
put in a spare to complete it, matching it up to the right era brick, no
variation. It is probably something we will have to live with and it is not as
great a problems as them changing the colors of gray, dark gray and brown. If I
remember, they didn't care about anyones opinion at that time.
