Can't you just pull the bags out of their boxes and have a look?

It's fairly obvious which pieces are discoloured as the whole debacle has been very well documented all over the internet.

Finding a place to display is not going to be easy as it is a bit of a beast.
Worth it?
I’ll no doubt buy it one day when it’s at a sensible discount somewhere. How big is it? Taj Mahal/Opera House big?

I actually couldnt find any articles about the discolouration, is the above your own Sian? or from a website?

The bit just above the V at the bottom, are those 2 bits the same style but different shades?

The picture is from the review section on Lego's own website. There are quite a few showing the same thing with the same parts, over and over again.

Check out the reviews at Lego UK , DE , FR , USA etc. Even the most recent reviews are showing it is still happening.

It's just ridiculous and a shame that Lego are not accepting it as a fault in any way. It's a lovely car otherwise.

It was a had to have buy for me but you should wait for a discount. It is very realistic and will play music but only through a smartphone. The keys move but are not actually playing any notes. The size is 9” high, 12” wide and 13.5” deep but you also have the stool and have extra height when the lid is open which is how it should be displayed. Being black and shiny makes display not easy. I'm very pleased with it.
