You said it! I got the 1349 also, no coupon - but still I thought it was a
great deal. The box looked like it had been in a war, very nasty looking. I
asked if there were parts missing if I could return it, they said no
problem. But this is what was missing:
Camera
Software
Instructions
All bay windows
Support pillars
All minifigs (well the torso of the stunt guy was still there)
The baseplate with the lava on it
big dinosaur
It went back to the store rather quickly. I am surprised that they would put
a set like that out. Not sure if this was a return, or if it was looted
in-store, but either way target had re-sealed it with their 'quality
assurance' stickers, and thats why I did not bother to check it in-store at
the customer service desk (which I have done with other sets at a few
different stores).
