The photos on the back of the manual are mock-ups and NOT the final boxes
(the box with ?? pcs is a big hint). The piece counts are not accurate. I
bought 7314 tonight and it has 194 pieces (according to the box).

Two of those pieces were an extra 2x2 red plate, and a double, round pin
technic connector. Since the connection mechanism for LoM uses side-by-side
pins, this must be an extra pack-in if you want to link up two parts without
pins. How thoughtful!

It also looks like the 7317 box mock-up uses the computer rendered image
from the catalog, so it probably won't be out any time soon.

The Spanish name for the set is interesting...

Here are the piece counts for the "Life on Mars" sets...

7310 - 33 pcs.
7311 - 73 pcs.
7312 - 99 pcs.
7313 - ?? pcs. - Yes, the picture on the back of the instruction book
actually says "Cont. ?? pcs."  The box is at home, so I'll post it after
work.
7314 - 388 pcs.
7315 - 242 pcs.
7316 - 471 pcs.
7317 - 701 pcs.

7314 has 388 pieces?  How big is that thing, it looks small in the picture?
That's around the piece count of the Roboforce Robo Master, which was quite
large.  Do you have any scans or did it come with a catalog of any kind?

(...) That sounded connected somehow last night, and I know why now. 388 is 194 x 2. Coincidence? Maybe, but I seem to remember the ReconMech also having 194 pieces, and the totals must have somehow got added together on one box. Really, really (...)

(...) Hey, how do you like the 7314, I picked up 7313(blue mech). 7314 wasn't available in NJ yet. Haven't built it yet but I find it funny that different sets are popping up in different locations at the same time. Jason F. (24 years ago, 20-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)
