 | | Same piece in different bags —Robert Farver
|
| | | 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 (...) (26 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

| | | | | | (...) 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 (26 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)

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 (...)
