Here is a copy of the corrections I sent to Peeron in Oct 2006. One year ago
and it has not been corrected yet.
there are 185 pieces in this set not 258
these are should be's
3005 r/4
3010 bu/0, w/4, y/0
3009 bu/0, r/0, w/2, y/2
3008 bu/0, r/0, y/0
3003 bk/4, bu/4, r/4, w/4, y/4
3002 bu/2, r/2, w/2, y/2
3001 bk/8
3007 bu/0
3034 w/1
I am sure that they counted 3137c01 wheels including the two tires as one
element.
I did this inventory from two different sets. Both were opened so I compared
them and also used the pictures on the boxes. I feel that my inventory is
correct and I am 100% sure that the set was not 285 pieces in that they would
not fit unless a hundred or so were 1x1 or 1x2 plates
Above is the corrections. There is a lot of confusion because the Peeron
inventories are way off quite often. There is also the problem that the
inventory taken from European sets and assumed to be the same for the US sets
can be wrong. There were changes made on many of them. Also the number of
pieces changed with time and often the change would come before the boxes were
all used. I have one set in this series and the European one that has 3
different piece counts on the boxes.
