A mold error for part 5066 has been reported. Dark Bluish Gray parts with this
error were used in several 2025 sets, such as the Star Wars Helmets. I have seen
several reports online, so this might have affected a lot of sets.

In this error, the top insert that shaped the hole around the stud has been inverted.
As a result, the studs are not in the correct position.

 
Part No: 5066 Name: Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Bar on Bottom
* 		5066 Plate, Modified 2 x 2 with Bar on Bottom
Parts: Plate, Modified {Dark Bluish Gray}

If any seller has this error variant available, please let me know
I am looking for one of more samples of this error.

Bump.
I am still looking for these.

Don't send an error part to your buyer by accident, sell it to me instead
