OK, it's been a while since I sent one of these. We are making progress. But we're not done yet.

In your position, I would definitely contact the seller. Thirty percent non-Lego certainly sounds excessive to me and, as Larry said, time elapsed from point of sale is irrelavent.

A while ago, I bought 11 pounds of Lego on an eBay auction listed as 6991 Lego Racetrack. I jumped at it, as it was a low price (due to not being listed as monorail) and was happy to pay for the product, which was advertised as 11 pounds of Lego. (...)
