Hi,
Here some comments of the Creator set 4562 with 200 Extra pieces.
1) The 8 transparent 2x2 RED bricks are replaced with regular 2x2 RED bricks.
2) The 8 transparent 2x2 BLUE bricks are replaced with regular 2x2 BLUE bricks.
3) The 2 transparent 2x2 RED slopes are missing.
4) The 2 yellow bricks 1x1 with eye are missing.
Rest of the contents match the contents on the side of the box, witch results in
a piece count of 196.
The Extra piece count = 206.
Total : 196 + 206 = 402 pieces.
for a picture of the extra pieces see:
The white pieces on the top left side are bricks 1x4 with a groove in the middle
(2653)
The 3 Green, 2 Tan & 6 Dark gray pieces on the top are slopes 2x2x2

According to a collegue from BeLUG has his box a quite different content!
Regards,
Ludo
