4896 isn't bad either

Now I just have to hope that every single bley piece in them can be

Heh. At 1000steine, they discussed this very issue a while back. I think they
determined that the 4896 came down to a single element that was too new to be
available in the original gray. It's the 1x2 plate with side rod of 2004. See
the handle of glove-compartment in this close-up:

It was pointed out that the element could be swapped for black or that a
slightly different element be used. Their post:

LEGO retail stores here in Massachusetts got the 4896 sets in stock last week
(Wednesday?) but I have yet to swing by and purchase the set for myself.
