I doubt that this is intentional. Even if it seems like it is.

One wonders why TLC doesn't use a side panel of the set box to show an
inventory of the set, as is done with most Basic/Freestyle sets. Seems
like adding that feature to the packaging could only help sales.

Having a rare part in a set can have a big impact on sales. I'm willing to
bet that TLC doesn't currently analyze this aspect when projecting sales
figures.

| Could it be that the lead time for the design & manufacture of the packaging meant that they didn't actually *have* a production sample of the unseen rare parts, which may have been making their first outing in these sets?
