Hmm. Who doesn't want to share? I'll share. The most recent set I noticed
this phenomenon in was the 5978 Sphynx Secret Surprise. It was pretty annoying
since a bag was missing from one of the sets I got. I wanted to know what
pieces I was missing but the other opened sets I had had a different distribution
of pieces into bags. So I ended up opening a bunch of sealed sets before I found
one that matched.
A few times I've seen the initial copies of a set having what I call
a "make-up bag". By "make-up" I mean a motley assortment of pieces that
appear to have been inadvertently left out of the other bags, and then
a special bag had to be produced so that the right pieces would be in the set.
Then, a later production run had those piece added to the regular bags.
However, I don't remember in which sets I noticed that.
