  <p>There is nothing wrong with your bags. The bags with the white band are of a newer design than the bag labeled "4". The white-band style was introduced in 2015, whereas the older style was used as of 2011. LEGO is slowly phasing out the older style in favor of the white-band style, working through remaining supplies of the latter until they run out.</p>

Answers.Text: Yeah, I can confirm. Just built some of the new Batman Movie sets and they also had mixed bags. Some with the white band, some without even inside the same set.

Answers.Body: <p>I just finished a Hogwarts set, and some bags have white bands, and some don't. However, I'm pretty sure Phil B is wrong because I have bags from 2017 with and without the white bands. I think the bags without bands are smaller bags for fewer pieces. I think this because I opened a small Speed Champions set, and none of the bags have white bands.</p>

  <p>The LEGO pieces in the bags look legit, but wondered why the bags are different. The box appeared to have been opened when I received. Just want to make sure the bags are official LEGO before I try to sell. The bags have &quot;LEGO Group&quot; written on them, so that's positive.</p>

Title: Why are the plastic bag designs different? Bag 4 looks normal, but are the rest legitimate LEGO designs?
