Actually it would be quite easy to verify, providing the boxes are
of the same size. It would require having 1 of each set with the
contents known. You would need a way to measure the weight of each of
those sets very accurately and precisely. Then, you could weigh the
sealed set to determine its contents. This is assuming that the 2
sets have different weights, which is more likely than not.
Just thought of something else...
Does that stormtrooper missile launcher use a metal spring of some
sort, or a rubber band? If it uses a metal spring, a metal detector
would quickly identify a Stormtrooper. (Providing C3PO doesn't have
any metal parts :)

| Well as a result of my curiosity I tried x-raying through a box. The Lego Technic bricks were visible and detailed enough to tell the parts inside. -- Kenneth A. Drumm Ph.D. who is now on his way to bed. (24 years ago, 9-Jan-01, to lugnet.starwars)
