I didn't even open all the boxes on this set and all parts or original. See the 2 x images below: The image on the left is slightly less 'blueish' then the one on the right. Flipped over (the less blueish one is now on the right), the underside is a lot more glossy where as the (IMO) true light blueish grey is a more matt finish on the underside. There are about 8 of each in this set and all of the left have one shade, all of the other have the slightly different shade. I think I'm seeing this in other Star Wars sets from around the same too where the greys are ever so slightly different. Why is this? Have I somehow mixed pieces up - which would be difficult seeing as I don't have those lager grey pieces anywhere else? Appreciate some advice! Is one more translucent?
