There is an inventory note on the set that states "There are significant variances
in part counts reported for this set. The current inventory needs corrections
to account for the differences."

I think this set needs a bit more looking into before we just add these extras.
These are the kinds of parts that look like something in a redesign.

Cheers,
Randy

You will have the books soon enough. But the way that it looks from my side
is that a lot of them are caused by the set having doubles of part bags. A lot
of the small to medium parts comes in bags that there are two of and I think
it was just easier for Lego to do that and let a few extras move through. I
compared against the parts list in the back of Book 3, but I didn't step
by step through the instructions.
