I just opened a 1761 Paradisa Motorboat (completely sealed) and got a spare pink 1x6 plate, easily the biggest spare piece I've ever got, and in an unusual colour, which makes it even better! Hopefully this happens a lot with this set, so you could actually get a decent number of extra 1x6 plates to help make something using pink..... which I'm sure could look good if you did it right ;-) Paul

(...) All 4 of these that I got from DYA had the extra plate. Not counting the 6 wide windshields in one of the train sets which are there for an alternate model, I think this is the biggest extra I've ever got. (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) For me it was set 517, a 1980's small basic set that had 83 pieces to it. It cost about $4.99. I bought one at a nearby toystore back around 1985. When I got to the car and opened it, instead of 2 of the yellow 2x2 windows, it had 4 of them. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
