Does anyone know how the slope got speckled?
Anyone interested in owning them?

Is it a 1x1 slope? Top corners look sharper/more angular than normal - you sure
its not a clone?

I had always believed 100% the change was made to save money. That was something
I respected. But now I read this for the first time https://news.lugnet.com/lego/?n=1791
Whoa, was it really that dumb? That's one of the most pathetic things I read
in a long time  and I don't even know where to start.. 1. they don't
even save any money on the change?? 2. I don't even believe that since to
me as an artist the pigments actually do look alot cheaper 3. how can you give
such a dramatic change so little thought 4. what does it even mean when someone
says "next time I will listen to you as well as a group of kids before I make
my decision"  4. how can you apologise so pathetically and give absolutely
nothing and not even make the smallest bsh*t gesture of saying you will pay more
attention next time and literally write there will likely be more "mistakes"
5. ...
It would really have been better if they had not written anything at all. IMO
They don't deserve to have apologised.. Glad I never read it at the time

Light black?  seriously, if I would venture a guess it would be a darker version
of DBG. With all the shade variations you just never know.

is it is regular Orange.

Thx

The photo makes it look like regular Orange, but I am sure you checked that.
So if it isn't regular Orange, that leaves Earth Orange and Medium Orange.
Earth Orange is the darker of the two, so I would assume it is that one:

However, I would check against Medium Orange, also, just to be sure:

Comments from Submitter:
Have a sealed minifig pack with that head plus the instructions show that one.

Everything I've found says that although the set box and instructions do
show the figure with the standard grin pattern, the set actually came with the
head as shown in the current inventory.
Since I cannot verify the accuracy of this request, the request was not approved.
For reference I have attached a photo showing how the set appears when the box
is first opened.

You are correct. The changeover from older grays and brown to the newer shades
occurred in 2004.

Proof is a correction sheet which I've uploaded as extra instruction image. Will also post it as reponse to this request in forum. At least some of these sets come with this change. If this is considered a redesign, feel free to change match ID to 99.

I don't have this set, so I'm curious why this change was made. It would
seem to me that it would be making the structure less stable, but I'm only
seeing this initial page.

Maybe they temporarily ran out of 4x6 plates, or maybe they had accidentally
packed a million sets with wrong pieces and needed a quick solution?

| Yes I removed it from a factory sealed set. I was given the minifigs to put in
my collection and someone else had the set.

Wee bit of a problem with your photo. The set includes one complete minifigure.
That's one head, one torso assembly, and one legs assembly. You said in
your original post:
| | Have a sealed minifig pack with that head
|
Your photo of the sealed bag from the set shows two torso assemblies, two legs
assemblies, and three heads with no other parts. That ain't quite right,
friend.
In fact, it's way off. Did you personally take that bag out of a factory-sealed
set which had not been tampered with?
