:nostar: Large cubes are in the same colors, but the actual color doesn't match the colors from the base game very well. Basically, the bits in the base game looked to be painted whereas the bits in the expansion are more liked stained. Orange is the most different.
:nostar: The neutral gray meeples in the expansion are the same shape, but smaller.
:nostar: The new purple and black dice in the expansion are smaller and the pips look different.

I agree with everything except that my VP chits weren't printed off-center and seem indistinguishable from the VP chits from the original game.
I'm not sure I would've noticed the difference in size of the gray meeples, nor the difference in size of the 5 denier coins without this thread.
On the other hand, I definitely WOULD have noticed the difference in color (I agree, looks like paint vs. stain, with orange the biggest offender) and would have noticed the dice.
