...fresh from LEGO PAB. Dirty too. If I sold these to my customers they would
accuse me of selling used as new. Not only this, but they missed a whole lot
in my last order, which took almost 14 weeks.

I guess the lesson here is that LEGO is not a very good source for LEGO parts??



Seriously though, that's really frustrating that such a new color is already
so inconsistent.

Placed an order for 3 different best seller 4L bars on Feb 22nd.

- One lot was over by 2
- One lot was short by 9
- One lot was short by 1, but was also 2x3 plates instead of 4L bars

As of today i'm still waiting on the replacement parts.

And those bars were all mixed together, right?

I had
 
Part No: 5091 Name: Tile, Modified 1 x 2 Wedge Left
* 		5091 Tile, Modified 1 x 2 Wedge Left
Parts: Tile, Modified {Orange}
and
 
Part No: 5092 Name: Tile, Modified 1 x 2 Wedge Right
* 		5092 Tile, Modified 1 x 2 Wedge Right
Parts: Tile, Modified {Orange}
in 6 colors all in the same bag with other small
parts! That was a pain in the butt.

Oh of course - and that sucks especially when you get in to several hundred pieces.
It's just like doing a part out all over again, but after making mistakes
with those in the past I now orient them all right side up as part of the process.
