I was thinking the same thing. 13 white cones? What the? And so many

Truly bizarre... it almost looks like a dumping ground for leftover pieces.

Ya know, I've wondered that myself. You don't suppose that TLC overruns parts to
cover themselves in case of disasters at sea ? (remembers the story about the
lost shipping container of parts bound for Enfield, flippers, etc). Might be an
interesting way of dump^H^H^H^H turning those K-8s into some cash.

Fascinating theory. I'll go one further (while we're speculating).. watch the
inventory! It may change.

If this truly is a way to get rid of surplus, I could see the "extra" pieces
changing. They're not printed on the bin unlike the first 400 (or 700, depending
on the bin) so they could be changed without major impact to production...

Does what you just said sound familiar in another setting ? Can you say PaB ? I
knew you could :)
