Dear LEGO
What has happened to your quality control?
I brought a couple of the Knight Bus sets and ( as well as having a few
missing pieces in both boxes) the colour of the new bricks are all over the
place. There are at least 3 different, distinct shades of purple (amittedly
this is only noticeable when they are put together)

looks like its been made with a combination pf old faded and new LEGO !!

| (...) Remember when the word "LEGO" was pretty much synonymous with "quality"? What ever happened to those days? <sigh> I'm really beginning to wonder if anyone at The LEGO Company even cares about quality anymore... Come on, LEGO! Get your act (...) (20 years ago, 29-Feb-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| About colours being "all over the place" Is NOT new. I have observed this in many bulk tubs, where the yellow 2x2s do not quite match the 1x4s for instance, just prior to and during the 25th anniversary tub years. I have even got different 2x2s (...) (20 years ago, 1-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

| (...) shades of purple within a single brick? If so, I would imagine that LEGO Customer Service would consider at least this a problem. You might be able to get replacement bricks of a consistent (though unpredictable) shade of purple. Maybe having (...) (20 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| (...) No way!!! whoah... I can't remember *ever* missing pieces, even when we did AucZILLA auctions and I handled millions. Maybe there was a time or two, but not that I recall. That record has (had?) always impressed me enormously. (...) it's half (...) (20 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

| (...) Perhaps; I won't comment on the colors. But think of this: at least when you place an order from S@H (okay, okay, I know you don't, but nevermind that), you get your order. I work for a mailorder fulfillment house and today between 30 and 40% (...) (20 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

| Wow. I got my first 4755 at the BOGO50 TRU sale today, and it's worse than I thought. I could MAYBE excuse having 3 different shades spanning specific pieces. i.e., all 1x2s are one shade, all 1x4s another, etc. But no, I stacked the 1x2s, and got 3 (...)
