I know this is probably one of the most common questions among LEGO fans. I myself have built 10's of thousands of LEGO's over the past 7 years. From that experience I have learned the importance of keeping my bricks organized.
Last night I started to build my (AMAZING) Emerald Night Train. Things were going fine until I came across this bad boy:
I literally spent 20 minutes looking for the second one of these. I have my process of looking for lost bricks (look through my pie tins, check the table, check inside the instruction booklet, check my clothes, have another family member search for it)
Long story short I pulled this piece from my Airport Fire Truck.
Despite the fact that I looked high and low, is it possible that they missed a piece? (Has anyone had a similar experience?)
