Fireburner5000 Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I recently bought a 8200 Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen set and for some odd reason, every single printed piece in this set is misprinted! I know that sometimes pieces get misprinted, but ALL of the pieces misprinted! That's just ridiculous! Have any of you had misprinted pieces before? Quote
Mesonak Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Interesting; any chance you can upload a picture? Quote
Fireburner5000 Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) For some reason, when I try to post a photo, an error from Eurobricks pops up saying "Error This file was too big to upload". Can you please tell me how to post photos? I'm new to Eurobricks. Edited July 6, 2011 by Fireburner5000 Quote
Duke Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Try uploading to an image hosting site like imageshack.us and then link to the picture. Quote
Fireburner5000 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Here is a link to the picture (I'M STILL HAVING TROUBLE POSTING PICTURES WITHOUT LINKS): My link The pictures are really blurry and it's hard to the misprints. On McQueen's eyes, the part I circled has a (hard to see in photo) white line going across the bottom of his "eyebrows". The lighting bolt on the 2x4 pieces have some problem that is hard for me to describe. The sponsors on the 2x4 pieces are extremely blurry and you can barely read them. The "Rust-eze" logo on the hood has a white line around it instead of orange and the headlights are blurry. There is also excess white around the "95" on the headlight. Also please tell me if you know how to post pictures without using links. Edited July 7, 2011 by Fireburner5000 Quote

Also please tell me if you know how to post pictures without using links. The page says "This file is not yet public." For posting pictures with HTMLs, I put them up on Facebook or my flickr. Then I open them in their own window. Just the picture, nothing more. I then copy the HTML and come back here to Eurobricks. I then click on the square picture where the tree is. I paste the link in there, and when you finish typing, etc., and after you post, the picture oughta be there. And that probably makes no sense!! Edited July 8, 2011 by Parrothead Rasmus Quote
Hoboman Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) So now the picture is public, here are my observations: A) It would have been nice if the picture was not so blurry. B) The eyes look fine to me, they match the box art as far as I can tell in the blurry photo. B) The 95 on the one head light looks right, (Going forward just assume I said based on the blurry photo) C) The hood logo seems to match the box art..... D) The lightning Bolts seem to be correct based on the box art..... E) The last two things I can not even begin to check because because of the blurry photo. Ok, so from what I can see nothing you circled is "wrong" but once you post a clearer picture maybe there is an issue that cannot be seen in your present photo.

sharky Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I see the problem. They printed all these black ovals on everything. Quote
