I often wish for this information and I see it asked on the forum. I was just looking at an open box, sealed bags set on eBay that I might like to buy, but the seller says how many bags there are and notes that they don't know if that is all of them. Well, I don't know either. Would this be the number of stages in the set (e.g. 1-18) or would it be the literal number of bags in the box, including unnumbered bags? One of the things that has prevented us from cataloging such information in the past is concern that there may be multiple versions of how things are packed, based on the factory location or production run. I have witnessed this situation, when parting out multiple copies, they were organized slightly differently. Not always a different number of bags, but the exact composition of a particular bag could vary (likely due to production considerations). Nita Rae
