Yes, several parts of sets are mixed in in different bags, I noticed
several of them. I don't really know how they are packed, but I am
guessing that they have the bags and a large pile of one set and they
dump them in however. I usually dump one bag at a time and sort it out,
and proceed to the next. I enjoy doing that so I see all the parts that
are in the model, and if I am unsatisfied with it, it gets assimilated
quickly into my organized parts.

piece missing.  Then looking ahead I saw a couple more.  So I
started looking through the other bags and found them in a
different bag.  Has anyone else ever found identical pieces
in different bags before?

(...) The packing of baggies is a very precise science. Other people can describe it better than I, but basically there are a bunch of hoppers, each holding a large quantity of one part, and the bags are filled mechanically from the hoppers. The (...)
