Why are the blockers appearing early or late?

The Mall-o-Matic, as seen in the screenshot, appears in level 1614.

The Magic Mixer used to appear at level 1326, but now it shows up at level 1492—I had actually recorded it. The same goes for the Licorice Shell, which was supposed to appear around level 800, but I never saw it show up.

And the Citrus Chew appeared in level 1448, even though it had shown up in advanced levels.
And why aren't Classic Chocolate and Dark Chocolate appearing now?

It was a color cluster—sorry, the translation came out wrong.

It seems you're right about the light blue color and the Mall-O-Matic.

That's because those elements were introduced a lot less recently. King had way more time to redesign the levels. Levels 1-800 have been completely redesigned, and many more after that have also been redesigned.

Episode 235 (formerly known as Waffle Ward) introduced toffee swirls (formerly known as waffles) in level 3501. That was back in 2018, and 8 years is more than enough time for King to redesign many of the previous 3500 levels to include them.

Episode 1037 introduced gumball machines in level 15,531. That was toward the end of 2023, and 3 years is once again more than enough time for King to mass-redesign hundreds of previous levels to include them.

What you're seeing with mall-o-matics, citrus chews, and eventually color clusters is King slowly redesigning earlier levels to include them. Mall-o-matics first appeared in level 19,746 just over a year ago. Citrus chews debuted in level 20,526, color clusters in level 20,766, and Sprinks' nests in level 21,186. Going over 4,000 levels with no new elements and suddenly introducing four new elements within a span of <1,500 levels is an incredibly unbalanced distribution! It makes sense for King to sprinkle these newer elements into earlier levels to provide a more balanced distribution. These redesigns are a lot more recent and selective, so that's why you aren't seeing them practically every other level. There hasn't been enough time for King to mass-redesign even more levels to include them.

(I got these levels and dates from the Candy Crush Saga Wiki. It turns out that I remembered correctly!)

But the tofu and the gumball machine actually do appear in the early levels; when I started playing months ago, the gumball machine and the tofu showed up early, and they still do.

Levels have gone through mass redesigns.

Mall-o-matics, citrus chews, color clusters, and Sprinks' nests were all first introduced around the level 20,000 mark, but these elements aside from the Sprinks' nests have appeared in much earlier levels after those levels were redesigned. This means that King wants to make some of these elements appear earlier in the game, so they redesign some levels to accomplish this.

Chocolate and dark chocolate have been moved to the very early 7000s. You'll very rarely come across chocolate spawners in the 6000s, but both chocolate and dark chocolate are officially introduced in the episode that contains level 7000. The frog's introduction was moved from level 606 to level 6531.

If I remember correctly:

Toffee swirls (originally waffles) were originally introduced in the 3000s.
Order locks are officially introduced in the late 7000s, but they appear very rarely starting in the 2000s.
Candy cobras are officially introduced sometime after level 10,000 (I think), but I came across a level in the 5000s and another level in the 6000s that feature them.
Gumball machines were introduced in the 15,000s (give or take a thousand levels… I don't remember), but they appear very frequently in lower levels as a simple element.

Seeing elements long before their "official" introduction means that King might want to officially introduce those elements earlier. You can tell when a level has been redesigned recently when you see a high-level element being used way earlier.
