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 buy this set in groups of 10. Now I *might* buy 1-2, but I won't be happy about it.
