Here's what a true nodder expert replied to my (your) question:
"Yes overall the Gold base quality is below the others, there are exceptions but particularly the later runs were rife with problems. I think that they probably had some profit issues and decided to cut costs by reducing quality and using cheaper material. The paints, shellac and decals used all seem to be inferior to the earlier molds."
