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  ;-)

About a month ago, I bought 4 "Town Folks" sets on clearance at Wal-Mart, for $1.00 US each. One of them had duplicates of all the pieces...that is to say, instead of 6 people, there were 12, instead of 6 headpieces, 12, 2 sets of coins, 2 pizzas, 2 (...)

(...) 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)
