Hi All

Though pictures not that clear but can see the light passing though?? This is
just the first 3 bags of the Grand Piano.

Even the Tan bricks are of different shades.

I have never seen that spacing between the bricks ever.

Is this ok??

Thanks

Paul

It happens. Check you have squeezed parts together. The horizontal gaps should
be closeable with pressure. The vertical ones not so much. Maybe switch out one
of the bricks to see if the gap is reduced.

As to the question is it OK, is it OK for what? If you are going to display in
front of a bright light source, then no. If on a shelf without strong backlighting,
you won't notice anywhere near as much.

If it was my set I would send the exact same pictures and question to LEGO customer
service for comment.

This is perfectly normal.

I could go into a longer discussion about production tolerances and how tolerances
add up or suddenly make other issues appear, but suffice it to say that these
things you are talking about are all normal.

Cheers,
Randy

Agreed, all very normal!

I had this mosaic placed in a window and the sunlight peeking through it made
really cool patterns.
