Yeah it was tricky, I'm still picking out black blocks out of the navy pile.
But I did realise at the time there were both.
But there still is variation with the navy blocks, especially with the inverse
slopes when say copmpared to the 2 x 4's.
Maybe I got a bad set. If the first battleship I had bought had the poorer
colouring, I probably would have stopped there and not bought more Ritvik.
But I am very happy with the price and consistency of grey/gray blocks and
keep trying to tempt my fellow AFOL's with them.
In fact when assembled I think the more matt finish of the grey/gray blocks
looks better than the Lego light grey/gray.
