I just parted out a single sealed retail box of 31056-1 and all the parts were
correct, except it came with an extra Dark Bluish Gray Technic, Brick 1 x 12
with Holes. This is the largest part in the entire set and mine had 3 instead
of 2. The instructions indicate only 2 are needed. All 3 were loose in the
cardboard box and not in the sealed plastic bags.

I'm hesitant to submit an inventory change request because this set came
out a couple of years ago so I expect its database entry is settled, and I've
never seen an extra part this large before.

Should I just chalk this up as a one-off oddity?

I remember parting out 8 or so last year and i think 6 of them had the extra
technic brick. Don't know why. It's like some of the earlier brickheadz
had an extra 6*8 black plate in them.

In smaller sets if there is one large part in it they are usually loose in the
box.

Please submit the change request, and it will be approved. I will also add a
note to the inventory once that happens.

Cheers,
Randy
