Any idea on the age, and what's missing? I do think I'll be getting it.

I'll check when I'm home next Click to expand... Sounds about right. The sticker says it is a 42 piece set. I count 28 pieces in their recesses. So there's 14 pieces that had to have fit into that corner somehow (unless they counted the box as a piece).
