That is sort of what it is looking like to me(mostly synced or lined up) as it appears. If its not luck of the draw, than why is it occurring as such?
The makers could be going to the trouble to line them up, but frankly I don't see the need. Like I said, I see them right out of the box with pretty random distribution of the alignment. Maybe, for whatever reason, the VL Challenger is lining them up to justify the lack of the articulated sound setup, hard to say until a bunch of them are in the hands of consumers.
Maybe those with the first batches got screwed. Question is, if these get corrected(most likely by the consuming public) my guess is the sound would naturally follow the drivers and the smoke should follow that as well? As far as the Challengers, my guess the same could be said for them, but wagering that the smoke won't alternate as you had mentioned in that other topic like the VL BB's do.
