 | | Same piece in different bags
|
|
I don't ever recall seeing the exact same piece (i.e. same piece and color) in two different bags in a set before. I am building the Tie/Y-wing set that I got from S@H today (the first set of all 5 that I've received so far), and while building I (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

Sure, it's happened in DOZENS of sets. I've only build a few sets in the last month or 2, but I have seen this in almost every one.

(...) Ah, but the main wings off 6331 are not identical, are they? They come in left/right variety, right? The same if commonly noted with other parts that come in left/right variety, like doors. The 8880 has identical bags, BTW. Fredrik (25 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

(...) If the bags are well-organized, leaving pieces in the bags is just a way of pre-sorting everything. My least favorite approach to building is to make a big pile of pieces, and go for it. Occasionally, I'll dump everything, and then sort it (...) (25 years ago, 19-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

Yes, several parts of sets are mixed in in different bags, I noticed several of them. I don't really know how they are packed, but I am guessing that they have the bags and a large pile of one set and they dump them in however. I usually dump one (...)
