The Crab with the Golden Claws: Part 1 - S1-E1
Revealing mistake: After Tintin has noticed Snowy gnawing on the bone, Tintin says "Let's just darken these letters and see what comes up". During the shot of him darkening the letters, the area of the letters on the wrapper that were darkened is differently animated than the area that hasn't been darkened yet. For example, the area of the letters on the wrapper that had been darkened is a dark white color. But the area that hadn't been darkened is a bright white color. This goes for the areas that weren't darkened by the pencil at all. (00:05:30)

The Secret of the Unicorn: Part 1 - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: Francis Haddock lowers himself from the ropes to the lifeboat below. He steps foot inside the boat, but the bottom of his legs and his feet are still perfectly visible when they should have been covered up by the boat. This error in the animation makes the boat appear as if the boat is missing one of its sides. (00:18:50)

Notice how the way he closes the envelope is the same and the stamp of the symbol is placed in the exact same position. (00:03:30 - 00:05:05)
Cigars of the Pharaoh: Part 1 - S1-E6
Revealing mistake: The mummy crate is brought onto Allan's ship. As the crate is being lowered down, there are two people standing next to it. The man on the left has a black hat which becomes a blue hat for a frame then goes back to a black hat. (00:09:30)
Chosen answer: If Hector was seriously intent on removing King Ottokar's scepter from the glass cage holding it and launching it through the window with the camera, then Hector would have been forced to knock out the two guards so they would not have interfered with Hector's plan as soon as he removed the scepter from the glass. As for Hector, himself, was explained when Tintin was explaining how Hector stole the scepter. Tintin placed a twig inside the camera and it launched out of the camera. Hector would have placed the scepter inside of the camera, and would have been knocked unconscious due to the spring effect created when the scepter had been launched.
