Comments from Submitter:
Source: Set from my own collection that was never mixed with other bricks. I can't verify part 2555 as extra. Please change match ID on item ID 299267 to 5 afterwards. The form won't let me do that.

A couple of notes: I believe it's possible that this set never came with
 
Part No: 48729  Name: Bar   1L with Clip Mechanical Claw (Undetermined Type)
* 
48729 Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Bar
This part was never split correctly and is most likely wrong in many
sets (and it has been put on catalog todo list).

Why is sticker sheet 10179stk02 gear?

Stickers are gear if they are not used to build the model.

Only the first 10000 copies ( =first production run) had the certificate of authenticy.
The boxes also have a special "limited first edition" logo on the front side:

Does this also apply to the anniversary sticker?

I'm not sure, but since it's a 30th anniversary sticker it would
make sense that only sets produced in 2007 have it.

I guess we would see the sticker here (7th photo) if it came in sets from later
production runs:

BTW, here we can see 48729b (with hole) in an early copy: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2836037

Jonas

Yes, many inventories with the variant part
 
Part No: 48729  Name: Bar   1L with Clip Mechanical Claw (Undetermined Type)
* 
48729 Bar 1L with Clip Mechanical Claw (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Bar
are wrong on BL. The part
was left in the inventories without making it "undetermined" and without going
back and double-checking the sets. My guess is that more than 50% of the sets
that claim to include the variant without hole never had it, based on a large
lot of sets (100) that I bought that had many sets that BL claims to include
the variant without hole, but there was not a single part of that type in the
lot and I haven't found that many when buying bulk used LEGO since then either.

I agree with you. I don't think the very first variant of that part ever
existed in many sets. This is only one of the variants that makes addressing
older inventories so hard. Not to mention that the extremely rigorous process
that we go through now for including new inventories into the catalog wasn't
always practiced. Thus, older inventories are riddled with errors when it comes
to alternate parts.

What is nice though is that a new cadre of users here are starting to unravel
and fix a good portion of these issues. That includes you, Jonas, Reza, Jonathan,
etc. I have no doubt that the inventories in the back catalog will continue to
get better with the help of all of you.

Cheers,
Randy

I think it's worth mentioning as a note on the set or inventory for both
the certificate and sticker (if it's true that they're not in all sets).

I'm still amazed that with the popularity of this set that the stickered
counterparts haven't all been inventoried yet.
