| Unfortunately, Legos quality control took a big step back about 15-18 years ago
and hasn't improved much over time. Many colors have different shades now.
Pearl gold is a big one where I have noticed about 4 different shades of that
one color alone. Some mixed together like you noticed in sets and some reasonably
stable. Nowadays you tend to get damaged pieces, missing pieces or extra pieces
not belonging to the actual set. Extremely rare if had these issues with older
sets. Colors were mostly stable. Some exceptions are out there though.
Getting a few customers now and then asking if I have the older type white in
some parts instead of the newer white. Huge difference between whites made 15+
years ago compared to now.

| | Hi,
I'm going through some old Lego Star Wars Lego sets.
At the moment I'm looking at 10188 Death Star.
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!
