I have two super battle droids in dark pearl gray but they both have slightly
different hues to them? Is this a problem anyone else has ran into?
Thanks!

The one on the left is the modern Pearl Dark Gray (LEGO 316 Titanium Metallic
- 2011-Present).
The one on the right is the old Pearl Dark Gray that BrickLink does not recognize
(LEGO 148 Metallic Dark Grey 2000-2010).

Interesting! Thanks so much! Do you happen to know why they do not recognize
it and is there anyway to ensure I would purchase the newer super battle droid?

Undoubtedly the difference was not spotted immediately, and/or was deemed not
big enough to be distinguishable.


   and is there anyway to ensure I would purchase the newer super battle droid?

Ask the seller first?
