1. Extra Pieces

   

   Discussion by brclark82 · March 2012 · Home› Collecting

   Do all sets come with the same "extra" pieces. I'm so rediculous with keeping my boxes and instructions in mint condition, I also have a drawer with little baggies that have the extra pieces that came in each set I have and was just curious if they were the same for all.

   Yes, all sets normally come with extra small pieces that are make for that particular sets. All extra pieces are different depending on the set. It's a good idea to keep the little baggies for extra pieces and label them but it's not necessary. The extra pieces are very common.

   I have had sets with roughly six or more extra pieces, I've had poly bags with three or four extra pieces. But my husband did the Fire Station and he got about two dozen extra pieces...as this was his first ever set, I thought he's left a lot of pieces out while building it. When I dismantled it, I double checked all the…

   This has been my experience. Although, the larger the set, the longer the instructions and therefore the greater opportunity for an oversight to occur during building. Unless one compares every single piece to the piece count on the box/instructions, it would be pretty difficult to state definitely that a piece or two was…

   The extra pieces are in there because of how they are weighed. Those small pieces are hard to weigh with 100% accuracy, so LEGO shoots a little over the top. This benefits us buyers + LEGO are more sure not put boxes out with pieces missing. That's why you only see extra small pieces, but never the larger ones. LEGO once…

   The number of extra pieces is theoretically the same for every copy of a set. It varies from set to set based on the number of small pieces used in the set and into how many different bags they are separated. Sets that have a wide variety of small parts accordingly have a large number of extras. For example, the Minecraft…

    I've got a few larger extra pieces, a white 1x2 jumper, a dark bley 2x2 corner plate and a white 1x6 plate(and i was missing a tan 1x6 plate). I can't say I object to those extra pieces. They are perfect for microbuilds
