Thanks all. I decanted all the pieces from the bag into a storage box, and sorted from there into smaller containers before starting the build. I don't pre-count pieces, but grab as I go. I'm fairly sure I would have noticed 8 pieces on the floor!! :-) I'll be sorting the '2' bags tonight and starting on the second level - here's hoping I was just unlucky! I'll tot up and contact Lego at the end of the entire build..

Hi, just emerging from my Dark Ages, and tacklng the Palace Theatre to ease me back in! I've opened all the '1' bags so far, and have almost completed the first book of instructions, but I've found about 8 1x1 grey bricks are missing, with the usual few extra pieces (mainly 1x1 tiles and plates) left over. I haven't opened the ''2' and '3' bags as yet. Now, this hasn't hampered my build yet - I have a box of parts from other sets that I can dip into in such situations, but I just wondered if it was usual to have so many pieces missing? Are they likely to be in the other bags? I can imagine Quality Control may miss 1 or 2 on a weight basis with the extra pieces included, but 8? I'd appreciate others' thoughts on this. I *will* be contacting Lego support for their feedback, but probably not until after I've completed the entire model - assuming no further pieces are missing and I actually can complete it!
