Maybe I’m missing something, I purchased two ‘steel coil load kits’ (1930010) and there’s no cribbing/cradle, only 4 coils, and they are not silver, just molded gray.
What gives?

hmmm, I would have expected some cribbing too. Might be good to contact Lionel?
I got the URR gons and there definitely should be cribbing. Also for anyone curious, the cribbing fits of course Lionel and Atlas Trainman gondolas but MTH premier gondolas are just a tad too small inside to fit it. Could probably file/trim slightly to fit.
I got the LIONEL Steel Coil loads at the local hobby shop: Hobby-Sport.
The cost was $19.95 each. There are only 2 coils in the package. They are bare, gray plastic.
The ATLAS O steel coil set packages are a much better value.
I will take photos to compare them later.

Got this reply from Lionel
Chris,
We believe there was an issue with these and we are working to have them remade. At this time, if you are not wanting to keep them, you would need to return them to your dealer for a refund. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
All I got in the bag were 2 steel coil replicas.
I am not sure if the guys at Hobby-Sport will be able to return them to their Distributor.

I bought the Steel Coil Load Kits that came in at the hobby shop. Here is a photo of what was produced in China.

Same what I received
Andrew, et all:
Any further replies from Lionel on your ends?
Perhaps people need to contact the guys directly, instead of going through customer service.
It seemed high priced compared to the standard O scale freight car line.
