OK, what does the picture on the box look like ? If the picture on the box shows
a smooth single-color bus and the bricks inside vary that much, this almost
sounds like grounds for a recall. At the very least it would tread dangerously
close to truth-in-advertising stuff. Box artwork has been off in the past, but
if the picture on the box was retouched to lessen the differences, I think they
(TLC) are in a heap of trouble here. If not legal trouble, then there will be a
rather nasty consumer backlash when parents buy the set and see the poor
quality. If this was done intentionally, then the box artwork should show it
also, otherwise someone is pulling a fast one.
