I didn't get any funky colors in my P.A.B. from Brickworld; but I didn't get any
1X1 plates at all.
However, I did notice some non-color quality issues with 1X1 False Brown bricks.
I got some of the 1X1's in the Northbrook P.A.B. on Friday, and they seemed just
fine. I also got some 1X1 False Brown bricks from the Woodfield P.A.B. on
Saturday. The 1X1's from Woodfield are very hard to snap together, and even
make a different, more "crispy" noise when you do press them all the way
together. The 1X1's from both stores look identical, but one batch is
noticeably inferior as far as interbrick clutching.
