True...the first official pics of the new Millenium Falcon that showed up online
(on FBTB, I think) had both new and old dark grey in the same image, especially
noticeable on the alternate model for the back of the box. And we know that
only the new dark grey will be in the box when it ships this summer. So it's a
case of getting something close, when TLC doesn't have that exact part in that
exact color yet, but still needs a display for the Toy Fair or some other
advanced publicity.
