I think the shininess of the bricks depends on the molding pressure.
It seems like larger or more complex bricks are generally
shinier than smaller and simple bricks. It probably requires
more mold pressure to prorperly form large or complex shapes.
There is a significant difference in shininess between
different parts, but the same part will usually have the same
shininess. 2x6's for example all seem to be noticably shinier
than 2x4's. Complex shapes like magic walls and large bricks
like 1x16's are very shiny indicating high mold pressure.
