Answers.Text: Nope Zhaph, for this instance Extended Mode's omission of pieces has nothing to do with the program update omissions as Mr. O'mara has provided a link to.  Extended Mode offers no color restrictions to pieces, thus will show a piece's design only once, while Normal Mode will show a piece's design in all known colors that the piece has been sighted in the real world. Imagine a 1x1 brick. Extended will show it only once, while Normal will show it some 14 different times is every color it has known to appear in.
