Well, there have been some this past year, too.  Note the catalogues with
the first glance at the Snowspeeder set, where the side assemblies (the
wing bits) weren't ratcheted down on the hinges, so they stuck straight
out, looking nothing like the actual Snowspeeder (well, ok, looking a lot
like the actual snowspeeder, just with flat sides instead of sloped ones).

Not only that, but that is not the production-run model.  Note there is red
in it, not orange.

I was wondering if this was a color match blooper or a brick selection
blooper.  The most common one I have seen is when they reverse the pictures
becuase they want the set pointing a different way and the stickers are
backwards.

Some of the pieces are red in the image, when they are another color (besides
orange) in the final model.  The bottom plate, for example, and there is a red
plate in the harpoon turret.  Since there is no orange in these places, It is
obvious that it is not a color match mistake.
