Wow, what a set... having bought the Porsche last year, I didn't think I'll buy another huge set in a while - I... need... to... resist... However all those years I almost regretted having bought the TIE advanced back then instead of the Millenium Falcon. Especially seeing the prices going through the roof, once it was sold out. Will this set be a limited edition, too?

Today I finished Box 3 (doing one box per day) and again, there was quite a large piece missing :( This time it's a an orange beam that was needed for the roof: http://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-orange-beam-13-41239 On the other side, there were two spare beams of other lengths (11 and 15). Quite strange to me, that such big parts have not properly been packed. I'll wait to finish the whole car and ask for a replacement. Thanks to you for the link!

Today I just started building the Porsche. Actually I wanted to wait until christmas but now I got sick and have to idle at home. I guess this is the perfect way to entertain me for the next 4 days. I finished the first box after about 4 hours and also applied a few of the most important fixes that you proposed. Thanks for all those ideas! Too sadly I also had one piece missing quite at the end of the first box. It's a 5 beam in grey which is needed for the attachment above the engine (http://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-technic-beam-5-x-0-5-with-axle-hole-each-end-11478). Thankfully the piece is not crucial and I can add it later quite easily even when the full model has been assembled. Can I contact Lego directly about this and expect a replacement? I have not opened the other boxes yet - is there a chance, the missing item will be in those other parts?
