I noticed that after you pointed it out, since I had only really looked at the
tree the first time I saw the cover. :)
Then I looked at the tree again. Did you notice the octagonal piece that they
used on the top of it? They used this piece:

Although the set (at least the one I bought last year, and the one they show
inside the catalog) actually has this part as the top piece:

I wonder if they are simply taking artistic license on the cover, or whether
they've actually changed the parts in the model. Has anyone ordered/received
this set this year? Just curious.
Best regards,
