Have there been two versions of <set:8862>?
I noticed that someone wrote in the comments to this set [1] that it has "all
yellow cylinders" and on Gaurav Thakur's review site it actually appears with
yellow cylinders but in all the other pictures I could find (lugnet, brickset,
brickshelf) it has the usual cylinders (yellow & black).

Does anyone have any more information about this?
Does any other set have these "all yellow" cylinders?

Thanks,
- David

(...) Hey I also noticed that little thing with the cylinders. The 8862 Backhoe Grader I got was slightly strange; it showed the yellow cylinders on the box and manual but came with the black pistons. I believe this change took place sometime around (...)
