   -INSERT “I HATE THE COLOR CHANGE” RANT #22 HERE

Rebelsum has some really super hi res pictures posted here:

http://www.rebelscum.com/gallery/legofalcon-new-big/

Looks like a really nice set.

As for the color change, if you look at this picture of the alternate model, everyone will get a good chance to see how badly the new and old dark grays clash with each other (look at the wing pannels). If you look at the rear turret, I think you can see the new light grays next to each other (the 1x2 bricks w/curved top on top of a 1x2 brick). Well, at least the light grays don’t seem clash too badly.

I seriously hope that color mixing is only due to the fact that these pictures are of pre-production models and that the final versions will at least be color consistent. If TLC releases this set ~$99 with mis-matched grays, it will definitely seem like a quality problem to the general consumer. However, this also proves that TLC cannot be un-aware of how bad old and new dark grays look together.

enjoy, drc

(...) The bad: -INSERT "I HATE THE COLOR CHANGE" RANT #22 HERE The good: Just about everything else. I really like the new 8wide cones, and the 4x4 macaroni are most excellent. That Jack Stone container in grey is nice, too. best LFB (21 years ago, 14-Jan-04, to lugnet.starwars)
