Hi Richard,
I just traded a MISB 6989 MCM and a MISB 6987 MIB for a used complete 7740.
My friend emailed me yesterday to say the 6989 was missing one of the large
plastic wheels. He even rang lego in Sydney and they confirmed that the batch
of 6989's that was sent to Australia occasionally had this problem. When it was
a current set they said they were constantly trying to get spares to replace
the one the was missing and the problem was being compounded by kids who had a
set with only five wheels stealing the sixth from shelf stock in stores.
I find it hard to understand how lego could miss one of these wheels in a set
as it is huge.
So when they do blunder they do it with style.
Mark H.
PS. Would you or anyone else reading this, happen to have a spare black large
space wheel
from a 6989?
