I just purchased a new 4956 set from a private party. When I opened it, all bags were sealed and there was a large green plate and a couple of longer loose pieces. The weird thing is that it has two instruction manuals numbered 1 of 2 and 2 of 2. When I try to see what the original contents of the set should be, it says online that there should be three manuals. Any insights as to why this is?

There are two different versions of instructions for this set. One version, which appears to be found in North America, consists of two booklets. The second version, found primarily in Europe, consists of three booklets.

Thank you!
