February 16, 201312 yr Never even seen a thing like that happen. Got a set missing a vital piece, though. Never bothered ordering another one. Was too tired...it's probably too late now...
February 17, 201312 yr Often extra pieces, but not sure if it's my poor assembling skiils, or extra pieces! Edited February 17, 201312 yr by HelpDevlin
February 18, 201312 yr The one thing I can remember from the top of my head is when I got the 4504 Millennium Falcon, some step from the instruction apparently couldn't actually be built that way (something around the cockpit, as I recall) and there was a little sheet of paper correcting the step, and the two or three different parts needed. The parts originally intended there were however also included.
February 27, 201312 yr Hi guys. I just opened Star Wars 9489 - Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack, and found a strange large purple... wing? Sword-type-thing? First totally random Lego piece I've come across in a set. Oops, photo didn't attach... It appears to be this Chima's purple wing piece... http://www.purplepawn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/LEGO-Legends-of-Chima-CHI-Razar-Constraction.jpg
February 27, 201312 yr Only extra I have ever received was an extra sticker sheet in one of the Superheroes sets. My Fire Brigade was missing a couple pieces as well, but they were easily replaced from my inventory.
February 28, 201312 yr Never got a wrong piece, but plenty of extras. I'm aware that their QC is basically based on the weight of the bag, but it has been my impression that I always get proportionally more spares with smaller sets then with big ones .
April 20, 201311 yr I got the town hall, and each window pane had a tiny dot on. Curious, i emailed lego. 2 days later i was mailed 50 something replacements!
April 20, 201311 yr The glass or the frame? What kind of dot? Did you make a photo? Isn't that just the injection point?
April 21, 201311 yr I got the town hall, and each window pane had a tiny dot on. Curious, i emailed lego. 2 days later i was mailed 50 something replacements! That's quite common in flat window pieces. A circular foggy area.
April 25, 201311 yr I think I have 2 extra 2x4 black plates on my 10220 Volkswagen, I'm not really sure about that (I built it on one night so I could've been a bit tired and missed an instruction step) but all looks in place... I think one day I'll rebuild it to check if those pieces are really extra :P Edited April 25, 201311 yr by Wolfolo
April 25, 201311 yr I think that the window spot is linked to the machine that makes them. Although I think they look better now than where they used to be when Cafe Corner was new. Looking at those reviews shows it more centrally located, whereas the new windows are more on the side somewhere.
May 2, 201311 yr When I got the lego technic 8428 it had two yellow 1x2 bricks instead of two yellow 1x2 bricks with pinhole, centred. Cool set though.
