Just some questions after I finaly got hold on a 8653 set (Enzo Ferrari
1:10).

There are clearly some change in color and finish on the pieces.
About half of the Technic Pin w/Frictions
(http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4459) have a much shinyer finish than all
the pins of that type I have from before. It is also possible that they use
a new mold to produce them.

Some of the red beams have a much deeper red color than all other pieces I
have form other sets.

The Technic Ribbed Hoses (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/78) have much
thinner walls in the tube than before. I think that is a improvment since
the tubes bends a lot easyer. It is also easyer to compress them i length
when stacking them in a Technic Axel e.g.
