Gee, that might even result in a saving in production costs for something which is untimately not needed therefore could be turned into profits or offered as an attractive reduction in model prices therefore incentivising the collector to buy more.

Footnote:
I like how DW actually provide spare wheels, props, u/c doors etc. within little baggies in the box with the model. Hint!!
Alternatively they could throw in a tube of superg lue.
I think the least costly and most effective answer is to include bag of replacement parts with the model. This would eliminate customer frustration, save the retailers time and cost of shipping, and give a collector an inventory of spare parts that they could use to fix other models that they might have with simular problems should they not need the parts for the one that originally had the parts shipped with it.
