Same Slave I set...different number of pieces???

Has anyone else noticed this? Saw it at Walmart today. I didn't know the smaller size boxes meant less pieces, too!

That's weird. Wonder what's going on.

It must be a mistake, probably whoever was redesigning the box art forgot to double check. ;)

The bag of parts that came with the antenna for the Boba's helmet came with a BUNCH of extra pieces that weren't used in the set - a set of two blaster pistols, one or two of those 'lights' that plugs into the same hole on the Boba/Clonetrooper helmet, the ARC Trooper (I think) 'skirt', etc... maybe they took those pieces out with the new production run. Why those extra pieces were in there in the first place, I don't know.

It seemed they threw in that parts bag just as a matter of course. The battle of Genosis set doesn't use the visor piece for Rex like most Clone commanders. So no matter what there would be extra pieces, just alot in the case of Fett.

True, but it would be interesting to see if they have removed the unused pieces - I think it could account for the discrepancy, that being the case.
