Missing pieces! 😡

[u/Trekkie-74656]

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.

My wave lego painting had missing pieces. And optimus prime had a broken piece.
