  I just bought new sealed: [Gear=3862]

and I found out that there were "mixed" 2 types of one part:

2 parts (tan):
 
Part No: 4865  Name: Panel 1 x 2 x 1
* 
4865 Panel 1 x 2 x 1
Parts: Panel
8 parts (tan):
 
Part No: 4865b  Name: Panel 1 x 2 x 1 with Rounded Corners
* 
4865b Panel 1 x 2 x 1 with Rounded Corners
Parts: Panel

instead of 10 of one type only.

I think that putting a note for the sellers to be careful
about that "mix" in the Game would be helpful.

In this inventory second variant is in the alternate section. This way in the
inventory is showed that in this set both variants can occur. No other notes
is needed.

Tile not plate, sorry

Yes you have right it is visible in this review

Please consider submiting invetory change request here
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChange.asp?itemType=S

BTW Are you able to check rest of the inventory. Parts count on box is 4057.
Currently in this inventory we have 4056 parts. Is there missing something more?

Sure as soon as i will end all the steps (I have little time for legoing unfortunately)

Set completed: at the end my extra parts list has this differences: no 43093
(axle pin with friction blu); 1x3713 (gray tech bush) instead of 2; 4x3713 (red
tech bush) instead of 5.

Marek and I can look into this, but it won't be very high priority.

Also, judging by your position, you wouldn't like my guidelines.

Cheers,

  But the sticker sheets were clearly not intended to be included as extra parts
and don't appear often enough to justify including them as extra parts.

There are two schools of thought on this and good arguments can definitely be
made for both positions. You have presented one side well and I will present
the other side:

1. Frequency of appearance is not currently the deciding factor in the
inclusion of an extra part in a set inventory. Should it be? I don't believe
so. How could you reasonably set a quantity of appearances before an extra is
allowed into an inventory?

2. I've never heard a convincing explanation of why any extra parts
are included in any sets, although I've certainly heard a number of theories.
Extra sticker sheets certainly don't appear to be consistent extras, but
should intentionality on the part of TLG be the deciding factor on including
extras in an inventory? I don't believe so, or at least not until we can
conclusively define (based on convincing evidence) the circumstances regarding
extra parts and their appearance in sets.

3. It is possible that extra sticker sheet extras are more common than
any of us realize, even if only packing errors. If we're not keeping any
records of their appearance in sets, then how would we truly know?

4. Extra sticker sheets fit the definition of extra parts as well as
any other extra part does. They appear in some sets and not in others. Should
we base decisions on extra parts on anything other than the fact that they came
in a set and were extra? I don't believe so.

But, perhaps Marek and Randy can produce some guidelines for us on how extra
sticker sheets should be handled in set inventories considering the positions
we've outlined.
