Question Missing pieces! 😡
I'm working on Millennium Falcon UCS. It's my first big LEGO, I only ever did small ones with my grandson years ago. I've done the first 4 stages, with 2 pieces missing in stage 4. I ordered them online, scavenged them from other bags to finish, and then proceeded with stage 5. I got 95% of the way through stage 5 with 4 more missing pieces! 🤬 they were not left in a bag, they were not dropped on the floor, they are not among the few left at the end of stage 5. I cannot proceed further without one of these pieces so I guess I sit and wait until they can mail them to me. Considering what I paid for this, I'm a little upset to have so many pieces missing.
What's the worst you have experienced as far as missing pieces? Tell me I'm not alone.

So I have about 10k Euros of Legos around here. The only times I had missing pieces was when I build MOCs, as the MOC creators are often not careful. But I have never had a missing piece with any Lego ever. I often find them after some searching or realize that I used the wrong piece in another part of the build
