I never, ever, saw, in my hands, any brick with anything else than 3 holes, or 
NO holes, in them. The only ones with 8 holes, I saw in rendered picture and 
drawings, but not in photos with enough details to be able to count the number 
of holes.
This gives me the impression that the 8 holed bricks are not real at all, but 
only artistic representations.

That said, they look OK, but the mortar looks as if it's the same material as 
the rest of the bricks. Only differing by colour, not texture, finish or grayniness.
