Don't forget to check stuff you made, they might be hiding!  I'm
pretty sure 7151 is the set that comes with the reversed colors(1);
have you checked the instructions?  I know that there is a set that
does, but I may be mistaken about which set.

I'm positive the reversed colors came on Sebulba's pod ('cause I noticed
when I was building my Viper and canibalizing SW sets for parts)

I was just wondering if anyone else thought that this was odd?  Why would LEGO
use Gray-female and dkGray-male click hinges in all of the 1999 Star Wars
models except one then reverse the colors for that set (Sebulba's Pod)?

This is especially odd to me because of all the models the hinges in Sebulba's
Pod are probably the least visible of the hinges in any of the models.  Would
it not have been more cost effective of them to run the same colors for
Sebulba's Pod as they did for the other sets?

Don't get me wrong I am happy to find I actually have matching hinges now but
it just seems strange to me that LEGO would have made the change for one set.
They could have easily used the colors that were running on their manufacturing
lines for the other sets.
