Jake, Would you PLEASE bring this up with the head office ASAP? I can't believe they would release a set with such *sloppy* color control. This is insane. Just how far is quality going to slip at TLG before someone wakes up? I was probably going to (...) (20 years ago, 29-Feb-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
