Old post but hey why not :^)
I recently bought a 4806 Axe Cart which is a small boxed castle set.
It normally comes glued on all sides and flaps, this had been opened
then resealed with a LEGO seal like they use on the larger boxes that
have trays in them. Inside there was 2 extra of the technic pieces
that are used for axles in this set (the ones that allows the piece to
spin on one end and attach on the other end). There was already 2 of
these in the box so I expect they found that some of these sets were
missing these parts and went thru and added them to any 'suspect
batches'. So I think the 'opps' bag can happen.
