Sopwith Recall!!!

I purchased a Sopwith from amazon on 2/21/14 and the box was beat up but I was going to build it so opened it up and all of the dark green studded elements had white dots on them. They sent me a replacement and I built it this weekend but it had the same issue I tried to cover the white dots the best I could. So today in the daily deals thread I see that amazon has pulled the Sopwith as "item under review". I contacted amazon and they offered a full refund as they do not have any replacements. Now to the good part, I purchased a Sopwith Saturday at the Lego store at the Christiana mall they had a lot in stock after not having any for a few months to get the MM poly promo. I was going to keep this one sealed. I called lego and they had me check the production code on the seals. It is 05 R4 the same as the code on the amazon box. The lego rep asked me to open the sealed set from the lego shop with promise of a refund or replacement and the same issue. She is going to call me back tomorrow with more info. So looks like they had a bad production run. Has anyone else seen this before? If you bought a Sopwith lately check your code.
