Tinn-man Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I got double lightsabers in the republic gunship, so now I have four Asajj sabers instead of two Quote
smiley905 Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) edit: errr sorry this isnt for all extra peices but some just so you know, tlc does not put extras in by purpose. ive seen parts of the factorie and it will release the desired peice, and i guess if the peices are close enough together two could slip in, so the smaller the peices the easier this can happen, hope this helps Edited January 20, 2009 by smiley905 Quote

Just today I bought five of the same battle pack, and each set had the exact same extra pieces. The small extras are precise, the big ones are generally errors.

Justin Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I got lots of extra pieces in my Town Plan LEGO set. Mostly extra tiles and flower petals. Quote
mrchris Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 i had an extra 1x2 brick in an indy set which seemed unusual (bley too so was nice) love the cheese bits and tiles as extras, especially in colours not available on pick a brick. I think they should put even more in, as well as make them available on pick a brick Quote
Front Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Set # 7888-1: The Bat-Tumbler: The Joker's Ice Cream SurpriseI got double the quantity of these in transparent black as well as a double of the other trans black pieces I had the double of these parts too. Half were packed seperately in a bag. Surely a "mess up" in the packing proces. Front Quote
KinGanon Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Yeah well I got a V-19 torrent that had two right side wing pieces instead of two left side wing pieces. Weird.... Quote
donneyboy Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I've had quite a few extra pieces, 1. an extra 16x32 baseplate in The Emergency Room 2. a set of extra figures in The Rough Shadow 3. double of every bag in The Fireboat, the odd thing is, i didn't receive a extra hull. Quote
Motti Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I received the very large piece triangle-shaped on the Death Star UCS (that and its reflection piece) which touches the top dish. Quote
Thee Pirate Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) I've been dumping most, if not all, of my extra pieces in a PAB cup for the past year or so... if I can get my memory card reader working, I'll take a pic of all my useless parts :-p Ugh, the above post was my 100th post... wasn't paying attention to post count, otherwise I would've made my 100th post worth reading wtf? the board merged my 100th, and 102nd post? now my 103rd post is also merged :-p Edited January 21, 2009 by Thee Pirate Quote

Zarkan Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Interestingly enough, I actually once got TWO of the same mask in a small 6 dollar Bionicle kit, which came as quite a shock to me. I think that the general rule is that small extra pieces are a norm in sets, but if you ever get extras of larger molds, you're pretty lucky. Edited January 21, 2009 by Grevious Quote
JCC1004 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 In my AT-TE I got 4 extra blck chairs but was missing 2 1x2 dark grey slopes and 2 of thoses dark grey round plates that go on the side. I've had quite a few extra pieces, 1. an extra 16x32 baseplate in The Emergency Room 2. a set of extra figures in The Rough Shadow 3. double of every bag in The Fireboat, the odd thing is, i didn't receive a extra hull. An whole extra set of figs! I wish that would happen to me. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Two extra hoses in the Agents Volcano Base set. =D Quote
Darth_Legois Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Two extra hoses in the Agents Volcano Base set. =D When I quickly read this I thought it said "Two extra horses in the Agents Volcano Base Set" Hmm I've never gotten extra, More like not enough! In my AT-AT I got Dark red hips & black legs for the AT-AT Driver instead of Light bley hips & dark bley legs. Apparently im not the only one who got it too! Quote
YG-49 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I got those legs for the AT-AT driver too! I swapped the legs with the henchman legs from my Tumbler (Fortunatley they looked good on him) Quote
alex12 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 In the castle advent calendar i got 2 serving girl bodies. I was chuffed at the time . Quote
Knightsword Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 In a magna droid starfighter I was missing a bag of small parts, 1x1 slopes, tiles etc. In a solar sailor I ended up with a back technis 1x8 brick instead of the second 1x6. I did get an extra bag of clone gear with I the RGS I believe. Quote
Dufresne Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) I recently picked up Space Skulls, and it came with one extra 2x4 white plate, but was short one 2x6 white plate. Also, it was missing four of these in dark bley, and instead I got four extra of these in black. which meant I was unable to finish the small skullbot. Fortunately, a quick missing parts order to LEGO got me the necessary pieces in less than a week. Edited February 4, 2009 by Dufresne Quote
legotrainfan Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I believe that small extra parts like round 1x1 plates are intentional extra pieces. I thought that the weighing process had difficulties with such small elements like those round plates, so that some extra pieces are included to make sure that all elements necessary for the build are in the box. As for the bigger pieces and extra bags, those must be real errors. How they can slip through the weighing process, I don't know; unless there is no weighing process at all. Quote
Zorbas Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 It's interesting that TLC includes extra parts even in impulse sets. The only impulse set i didn't find any extra piece was the 5621 Coast Guard Kayak (I have bought three of them and nothing in each of the three.) On the other hand, I was really surprized when I finished building the 7239 Fire Truck . I didn't find any extra piece in it, not even a small-tiny-little one. Pretty strange if you ask me, given the size and the piece count of the set. Quote
