My experience is similar, but not quite identical. Of course I only have
55 Megabloks sets (including 23 battleships and 4 aircraft carriers). :-(
If I remember correctly, one of the battleship sets had the wrong bag of
parts in it. I think it was balanced by another one which had an extra bag
of parts. Since I was after them for the parts, I didn't much care. I doubt
you will see an aircraft carrier with an extra bag of parts - there just
isn't room in the box - its bulging as is!

I've only seen 1 error in a Lego set - it had a 2xN instead of the needed
1xN - not a big deal since I had others of that piece.
