I picked up 11 copies of 1380, Werewolf Ambush, from KB Toy Liquidators
yesterday. Eight of the eleven contained a wrong part; I've never seen LEGO make
a mistake like that before. Have you?

Three of the eleven correctly contained 4x10 black plates, but the other eight
contained 4x12 black plates. I would have thought this error would have been
discovered during the weight check, but maybe since these parts were not in a
polybag, that step was skipped.

Another possibility is that the error was caught, but only after the set was
sealed, so LEGO sold them through to a discount outlet. But once again, I've
never heard of LEGO selling new "irregular" sets. Has anyone else discovered a
quantity of incorrectly packed sets?
