Mods: wasn't sure whether to post this here or the Star Wars board?

Has anyone had issues with this years Star Wars advent calendar missing a bag?

I bought one the other day, and let my nephews build the kits then left them playing with things for half an hour. When I came back, I counted the kits and realised one is missing. Despite very thorough looking in the area, it hasn't been found, and one of the boys is certain he only opened 11 bags instead of 12, so I'm wondering if its possible one got missed?

Thanks in advance.

Which bag is missing? It would be very weird if Lego forgot to put it in, it's more likely someone got a bag out in the store. If I recall correctly that was a problem with calendars a few years ago, people stole minifigs from the SW calendars in the store. I would try contacting your store about the problem, and also do some more thorough searches in the area ;)

Thanks for the replies. The box was perfectly sealed when bought. It's #12 missing, so luckily not a major. Was more trying to work out whether the boys lost it some how, or if it might have been missed entirely.

Just had a look at the calender on S@H, and remembered when I sorted out the boys builds, there were two Storm Troopers, one with a large gun, the other with a smaller one. The website only shows one, so wonder if we got that instead of the correct build? This was the first SW set we have ever opened, so no way it could have come from anywhere else.

Might just assume that was the case, and leave it. Two adults and three kids all had a very thorough look in the area, including behind and under a bed, through the rubbish bin, in the empty bags and anywhere else it might have gone.

Heh, I'd think a stormtrooper would be better than some random microbuild :D

I haven't bought any Star Wars advent calendars, but I have seen people complain about receiving wrong builds before. So yes, maybe that is what happened.
