I have a random question about the Titanic build. This set is essentially packaged as 3 separate sets that all connect together to make the main assembly. Box 1 contains bags labeled 1-12 (12 bags). Box 2 contains bags labeled 13-28 (16 bags), and Box 3 contains bags labeled 29-46 (18 bags). My question is how many pieces are in each of the 3 boxes? I can't find a breakdown of that anywhere. I know this is a random question. I would appreciate any answer though!

Thanks for the replies. I don't want to risk damaging the turntable and having to order a new one. I think the consensus is that I'll leave the turntable together. Thanks for the help/suggestions everybody!

Does anybody know a way to disassemble this type of turntable? Apparently it's called a Z28 turntable but it is composed of element# 4652236 and 4652235. When I've googled it I've read that these pieces can't be disassembled without damaging the plastic? The Lego 10257 Carousel uses these pieces, and they are each a part of a major sub-assembly which eventually attach to each other. I'm working on disassembling the set but want to be able to rebuild it at a later date. Trying to build the individual sub-assemblies without separating this turntable might be difficult/inconvenient. Suggestions?

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. You've all given some really good info. I'll provide an update to my situation. On Friday (January 13th) I called Lego's customer service and explained that I was missing an entire bag, and had the part number of the baby's body handy just so that I could tell them what bag. The guy on the phone acted surprised but didn't seem to doubt me or ask too many questions, he said he'd send a replacement of the whole bag. Within minutes I received the usual confirmation e-mail you get when you fill out the missing parts web form. I plugged the order number they gave me into the shipment tracker portion of the site and saw that they had each and every part from the missing bag listed on there, so I thought everything was great. However, today (6 days later), when I plug in the order number, every one of those parts still shows "In Warehouse." Is it normal for missing parts to take this long to even leave the warehouse? I mean I'm not expecting them to 'overnight' these parts to me or anything but I figured they would have at least left the warehouse after 6 days.

The plot thickens. I had a friend with an unopened Assembly Square check her bags .. She confirmed that all the pieces I'm missing are in a main bag, not a 'sub bag'. Additionally they are all from the same bag (as suspected). But here's the weird part. I have gone through my emptied bags and I definitely have 7 empty bag sixs, so I got the correct amount of bags. However, I suspect that I got a duplicate bag 6 rather than 7 unique bag 6's. This would explain why I somehow got two baby minifig heads (I've never seen "spare" minifig parts come in a set,). I'll contact customer service. But have any of you guys ever had this happen?? I know all the parts bags are automatically filled and weighed for quality control, but what about packing the box itself? Is that a manual process? Is there a final weight of the box taken for quality control? I'm starting to understand what happened, but I'm having trouble figuring out HOW it happened.

okay. for the record, the tape seals on my box are printed 40R6 in case anybody has similar problem. I'm going to try to substitute in parts from my collection just to try to complete (though some might not be the correct colour) to see if I can complete the build and work up a final list of what all is missing.

So I'm about 80% complete building Assembly Square, and am working on the Bag 6s. Only problem is that I seem to be missing a significant amount of pieces, I think I may be missing an entire bag? Or possibly a 'sub bag' (ie one of the smaller bags that are contained within a larger bag). So far what I know for sure I'm missing is the baby minifig's body (though I have two baby heads), I'm missing 1 adult minifig head, and 2 red 1x3 plates. I'll update this thread as I find more missing but has anybody else had this happen to them? I think the Fire Brigade had a packaging problem where a whole bunch of boxes were missing a parts bag but I haven't read about this phenomenon happening with the Assembly Square yet. What would you all suggest is the best way to correct this situation? Should I just fill out Lego's online missing piece for for each and every missing piece? Or should I place a call to customer service? Overall I love the set as built so far, which is why this disappoints me so much. I want to finish it!! hehe Love the forum. Hopeing you all can help out a n00b!
