I've been eyeballing this set forever because of how cool the Big Mek and Grot oiler look. What's held me off though is that you're paying a little more for that set due to the fact that you have two other Mega Armor Nobz in it. Since you need 3 Nobz to form a proper unit, and since the Mek doesn't count towards that ... what are the rest of you doing with the MANZ?
I don't have any other MANZ I could join them to and I'd rather not snag another box of MANZ just to have something to do with the other two. Did I miss something here, or is this just typical GW weirdness at work?

Wait, what were we talking about again? Did I ever tell you about the time I gave you five bees for a quarter? That's what you'd say in those days, "give me five bees for a quarter", is what you'd say in those days. And you'd go down to the D&D shop, with an onion in your belt, 'cause that was the style of the time. So there I was in the D&D shop..." |

This is just GW doing what they do best.
Ever looked at the loota's box content, tried to find a warbozz on bike or even just a warbozz in mega armour with a lucky stick ( that isn't ghaz) ; )

It's because the box is meant to make three MANz, but just throws in a few extra parts to enable you to make the MA Mek.
You could try selling on the unused parts for the other 2 either in the Dakka Swapshop or on eBay or other such auction site?

Thanks for the responses guys. I figured it was just Gdubs being Gdubs. 
Ended up buying the set today with plans on magnetizing the Big Mek so that i can run a full squad of MANZ when I'm not running the Big Mek. Sadly, my box came with five square bases, none of the round bases needed to build the set properly and ... wait for it ... half a Space Marine assault squad sprue.
A few months ago I bought a Devilfish that came with a Fire Warrior sprue rather than the left side of the hull. WTF GW!? Lol

Wow, weird.
Contact GW Customer Service - everything I've heard about them says they will send you the correct bases (and a left Devilfish hull maybe?), worth a go, eh?

And you'll also be able to keep half the assault squad sprue.
