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.

It doesn't matter that I got 2 parts of one variant and 8 of other?

It doesn't matter. It is quite common situation. In our inventory system
alternate variant has always the same quantity, because frequently in set's
copies ratio of part variants can vary, some can have only one variant of part,
some as your copy can have mix of two variants and some copies will have 2, other
3, another 4 etc. of one variant and respectively 8, 7, 6 of other variant, so
we would be overwhelmed by many possible combinations.

Got it Thanks! For me it was first time when I saw
mixed variants in one set.
