Answers.Text: @htmlcoderexe World is not "US-centric". Living in Europe, where LEGO originally comes from, I guess, the question would sound like "Why have a separate print with? Just make it a sticker when needed". On a serious note, NA is different market where TLG use different printing facilities for sets produced in Mexico's factory and do not ship boxes from Europe.

Body: <p>Oddly enough it has no part count on the box whatsoever and I bought it from a Italian seller on Bricklink. It was quite expensive. I doubt this is a counterfeit. But you can't be to sure. Why is there no part count? Is that a thing that happens with some LEGO sets?</p>

  LEGO boxes in Europe do not have piece count on the front. There is no legal requirement within EU to present this information on packaging.
  
  Actually, depending on where you live, it may be odder to see boxes *with* part count on its front.
