I'm glad you posted this--I thought I was the only one who wibbled at overly
greasy bricks (or got them on a regular basis). I don't know what it was, but I
got many Adventurers sets like this--a really bizarre thing. It may be more
noticeable because so many large bricks are in that set--the 1x6x5 dkgrey panels
were palpably gunky. However, in the same batch of purchases, I had a brand-new
1x3 orange brick that had little "wisps" of black in it, truly the weirdest thing
I have ever encountered. I thought it was just scratching or grease at first, but
on further examination it was an imperceptible wisp of black in the plastic.
Uhoh, on recollection I may have traded that brick away.

It may be in order to pop them out of the mould a little faster--weren't a lot of
these sorts of fixes-for-speed detected as TLC ramped up with SW production?
