Klanadack Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 And I mean sets bought from stores, misb, that didn't have all the pieces needed to complete the set, due to an error.

Pupwa21 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Nope, but I always get spare parts. Like when I got my 2007 Jailer I got 3 of the tube things. Quote Looks like it's the end of the line for 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Oh yeah. My Piraka Stronghold required two special orders of parts just to be able to build the dang thing. Turned out to be a terrible set, but I was blissfully unaware (read: ten years old) at the time. Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 No, this never happened to me. Sometimes I get paranoid when building a new set for the first time, but I always figure that the boxes/bags are packaged by machine, so the chance of it happening is slim.

FrozenFlash Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 One time, my Breakout Furno was missing some of the handcuff chains. Thankfully, my Breakout Surge had a few spare chain parts so I just used that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfahome Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 If I recall correctly, the 2002 Slave I set I got was missing four of the same (small structural) piece. Couldn't find them in the box anywhere. I think I ended up using spare parts I had around instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed297 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Once, with Axxon. If I remember correctly, he was missing the socket pieces to attach his fingers to his hands. On the plus side of things, I got an extra pair of alien bug wings in a Galaxy Squad set recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ldd2000 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Did you guys know that you can send in replacement part orders to LEGO? I have had missing parts in some of the sets I got/bought, and I just sent in an order to replace them, and they did. One time I had lot my Mistika Tahu's mask(prolbaly fell down a heat vent), and I send a missing parts order to LEGO and they sent me a new one(this was like last year!). Another time I had wreaked a minifig helmet with some model glue, the kind of glue that melts plastic(don't ask me what I was doing, I don't remeber). I sent in a broken piece report, telling what happened, and they sent a replacement. Except they didn't have the moulds anymore for it, so they sent my the equivalent of the piece that was broken in other types of helmets. I just thought you guys should know, even if it was 4 years ago, or 10 year ago that LEGO should replace your missing parts. Quote "Copy and paste me into your sig! The shadows command you!"

Great Being Velika Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 The sand crawler I got way back like 5 years ago was missing a 1x1 brown brick. And I think I got a creator set that was missing something, but apart from that, I've had pretty good luck. Quote I like BZP so much, I named my Minecraft account Dimensioneer.

xccj Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'm pretty sure my first Gali set was missing the trans yellow eye piece, and since it was my first Toa set ever, i was a bit confused as to how to put on the head. I eventually got a replacement when I bought the mask packs back in the day, which originally came with an extra head and eye piece. My Lewa Phantoka set was also missing the lime green chest armor when I got it in 2008, and for that I was able to call in and get a replacement shipped to me.

Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Only once and that was when i bought my rahkshi lerahk(green) in legoland in billund denmark. After i bought it we were relaxing and eating refreshments and i was in the middle of finishing on the table but one 2 length black plusrod was missing and i got it exchanged for a new one. Turns out i got lucky in the process, after i got back home to iceland after the vacation i checked a online kraata power level guide and turns out the original had a level 2 kraata but my replacement set had a much stronger level 4 kraata.

Waaja Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I've got a funny story for this one So I was missing one of Mahri Nuparu's trans-yellow light thingies from his back, so I called in Lego to get a replacement. Sure thing, they sent it over, except the envelope was empty, save a bubble wrap with a hole. I called Lego again, and the same thing happened. I ended up going to their office to get it personally. Seems there may be some dishonest postmen in my area? It was nice I got to see parody Barraki sets in their office anyway Quote Please do visit: My MOCs Blog: http://waajamocs.blogspot.sg/ My Writing Blog: http://waajawrites.blogspot.sg/ Font: Urban Decay by zofos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pomegranate Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I distinctly recall having trouble finishing one of those mini playset things, forgot what they were called. It was the 2005 Toa's tower thing with the giant gate shaped like Vakama's face. There was one little piece definitely missing, I looked everywhere. 'Twas really frustrating.

fasggbfrfesv Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 The Lego replacement part service thing is really good. I've used it before and they're brilliant. What other company replaces parts from ten year old sets? Anyway, I got a Power Miners set missing a grey valve type thing on it, the piece that looks like a tap thing. Lego replaced it without question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pranciblad Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) I have only encountered one set with a missing piece in my entire time of collecting Lego. Back in 2004, I got one of the minifig-scale Knights' Kingdom sets and one of the dark grey bricks was missing. I figured that it wasn't that big a deal, since I could just substitute one of the old bricks from my collection. However, looking at it some time later, I noticed that the old brick stuck out like a store thumb in the middle of the new ones. And for the first time, I realized Lego had completely changed the shade of their grey bricks. Dangit.

danny316p Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I've had a few of these over the years. Customer service tends to correct them quickly enough that I usually forget about it - and most of the time I've needed to call them, it's actually been a malformed piece instead of a missing piece. First set that comes to mind for a truly missing piece is 4554 Metro Station. For malformed pieces, I definitely remember a large plate being wrong in 10182 Cafe Corner, and an anti-stud in a slope not being functional in 5978 Sphinx Secret Surprise.

~Shockwave~ Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Can't recall missing any pieces, but there was one time with the Kikanalo set that one of the thigh guards/rahkshi backs was severely misshapen. It looked like it had been run over. Though I might have been missing something from my slave 1 set. Can'r remember and I think it was able to just stay missing.
