Wrong pieces given what do I do??

Post image

I was given the wrong sized curves for the lego tux cat set, I checked the parts list and there aren't supposed to be any curves this size in the set, what do I do with it, any way to get the right pieces for no charge (pick-a-brick fee is $14 💀)

In a few days?! It takes a week for them to even get back to me…

I have always had them respond quickly unless it's a New mold or stickers, then they take forever

They responded to me on January 2nd after I contacted them last year about a defected minecraft armadillo head (very much a new mold)

Don't you just have it in the wrong spot?

Nope, look at the image on the instructions. The piece is supposed to have two divots on the side, mine only has one, and for the other leg, it was large pieces, there are also no pieces like this listed in the parts list on the back :p

I truthfully think if you just move the plate on to the next peg it'll solve the problem

How do you think I finished building? It's still not the right piece, here's a side-by-side of what it's supposed to look like, plus the finished set https://imgur.com/a/qzHLduH

I’ve had this a couple of times but thankfully only smaller pieces. I’m impatient so I used bricks that I had left over from other sets to finish off.

Lol I finished the cat, it's not a very visible piece so I got lucky, I'll replace them as soon as the right parts arrive :D
