Going through inventory of Royal Knight's castle.

There are 3 plumes listed in the inventory as well as 3 plumes listed in the
minifigs inventory. They are all different but I can't see where they are
in the instructions or any box pictures. Are these extras or a miss count?

Thanks

The onces in the inventory are what's left over from the 4502 wheels after
assembly of the minifigs

Makes sense. Thank you!

As to why they're in the inventory, they originally were packaged on a round
sprue with all 3 types and the child building the set could simply pick out which
style of feather they desired. I believe this was due to the fact that the alternate
models on some of the set boxes used one or more of the other two types in the
minifigs. Children building the alternate models were left to figure out how
to build them, and these feathers could be swapped out at will during play.

There was the leftover round sprue with parts still attached to it, which was
left to the child's imagination as to what to do with. Since then The LEGO
Group switched manufacturing methods and the feathers now come without the sprue,
which is presumably recycled at the factory.

Cheers ...
