Answers.Body: <p>These bags don't seem to belong to any specific LEGO set.</p>
  
  <p>First, they are filled very sparsely. Normally LEGO bags are filled with more elements than that depicted here.</p>
  
  <p>Secondly, in bag #3 we clearly see <a href="https://brickset.com/parts/6022021" rel="noreferrer">a Plate 6X6 W. Bow in medium lilac</a>:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/TNU03.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/TNU03.jpg" alt="image of Plate 6X6 W. Bow in medium lilac"></a></p>
  
  <p>And a <a href="https://brickset.com/parts/4247642/right-plate-3x8-w-angle" rel="noreferrer">Right Plate 3X8 W/Angle in bright yellow</a>:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/FK8Ry.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/FK8Ry.jpg" alt="image of Right Plate 3X8 W/Angle in bright yellow"></a></p>
  
  <p>But these two parts have never been sold in the same set. <a href="https://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-6022021" rel="noreferrer">These contain the lilac plate</a>, and <a href="https://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-4247642" rel="noreferrer">these the yellow plate</a>.</p>
  
  <p>So the only remaining possibilities are, in order of descending probability:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>The bags have been opened and the contents changed (possibly resealed later)</li>
  <li>These are not genuine LEGO products (but the bags do have "The LEGO Group" printed on them)</li>
  <li>Someone at a LEGO factory has made a grave mistake</li>

  These bags don't seem to belong to any specific LEGO set.
  
  First, they are filled very sparsely. Normally LEGO bags are filled with more elements than that depicted here.
  
  Secondly, in bag #3 we clearly see [a Plate 6X6 W. Bow in medium lilac](https://brickset.com/parts/6022021):
  
  [![image of Plate 6X6 W. Bow in medium lilac](https://i.sstatic.net/TNU03.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/TNU03.jpg)
  
  And a [Right Plate 3X8 W/Angle in bright yellow](https://brickset.com/parts/4247642/right-plate-3x8-w-angle):
  
  [![image of Right Plate 3X8 W/Angle in bright yellow](https://i.sstatic.net/FK8Ry.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/FK8Ry.jpg)
  
  But these two parts have never been sold in the same set. [These contain the lilac plate](https://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-6022021), and [these the yellow plate](https://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-4247642).
  
  So the only remaining possibilities are, in order of descending probability:
  
  1. The bags have been opened and the contents changed (possibly resealed later)
  2. These are not genuine LEGO products (but the bags do have "The LEGO Group" printed on them)
  3. Someone at a LEGO factory has made a grave mistake

  The dark purple plate pulls up only three sets, but these brick combinations don't match a set from those three. Hmmm... If the bags are sealed then they might have been a custom *LEGO* "*Pick-a-Brick*" order.
  
  LEGO has two versions of the LEGO Pick-A-Brick service. One is inside a brick and mortar store, the other is selected on line.
  
  If a customer's online order exceeds a certain threshold, (can't remember, something like 200 bricks), then the order is sent to the LEGO main distribution factory in Denmark, which adds three or so weeks to get your bricks, but I think they seal/ship them in these bags.

  > **username_2**: I've found a couple of examples of [other sealed](https://www.flickr.com/photos/jeroen_k/5978936386/) or [ziplock'ed](https://www.flickr.com/photos/zalbaar/7541746458/) bags, so in principle this is sound - just seems extreme that these don't have the order details and are so sparsely packed.
