I got my first incorrect piece the other day. It was a 1x2 flat tile instead of 1x2 sloped roof. I emailed LEGO and they are shipping me the replacement piece at their cost; an 8 cent piece coming all the way from Denmark. It's probably going to take a month for it to arrive, but wow that is amazing customer service. I'm thoroughly impressed.
That happened to me when I bought a small picnic set on impulse and the heart on a stem element for the fountain was outright missing. That's how I found out you can bulk buy parts from their store directly, and there's more control and options than Pick a Brick...I spent hundreds for the next couple years.
4:42 those aren't flowers, they're sweet berries. That's where the baby fox came from. I was at the store today and noticed something while looking at the Frog house set. The roof isn't pushed down all the way one the front image. Sidenote: I feel bad for any LEGO Minecraft mod collectors who already got the warm and temperate frogs from the cheaper sets they came in because the Frog house comes with all three. Hopefully they release the cold frog in a cheaper set eventually. The WALL in the SpongeBob Boating School set is another example of LEGO STAMPS, in this case they are placed over the sides of multiple plates and tiles making it nearly impossible to disassemble without ruining the sticker. It's funny because you're supposed to crash the boat into it and, while it is two separate builds, it probably won't last too long.
But you really appreciate it after having to build a massive set without numbered bags. Like the Mega Bloks Enterprise set; 3,098 pieces, but all 1 bag effectively.
I had that issue with the AT-ST, I contacted Lego support and they were able to send me the correct version of the part, thankfully. Definitely a weird issue.
While the mismatched color hinge in the Lord of the Rings set may be an error, LEGO has included two color hinges intentionally before, one of the Spider-Man 2 sets I got as a kid used one for a bank vault door.
I wish I had taken a picture at the time but when I got my copy of the Icons Porsche 911 they gave me an extra 1x6 tile instead of the bracket piece I needed for the door mirror so I had to wait an entire week to have my fully completed car. It was really frustrating.
I found a mistake in the instructions for the Mini John Cooper Works car in Speed Champions where it's back mudguards appear on step 25, then dissappear on step 26 and you're supposed to add them on step 27.
I did have the issue with mine, but it makes sense because I got mine when it was near retirement. Luckily LEGO customer service was able to send me one of the old pieces as a replacement.
I bought the SLS set this year, and instead of a plate piece, I ended up with a M4 screw. It must have been just the right weight for the bag to not get rejected. Lego was obviously kind enough to send me the correct piece
I actually encountered something funny last year with the Lego Star Wars advents calendar. When i opened up the 13th window i was surprised by the same small vehicle that was already present in the 6th window right below it (i guess it just threw another one in by accident and then never packed the real thing since it was already loaded with the wrong bag) but after contacting Lego they instantly started to help me pick out the pieces and then sending them to me for completely free that was such a cool move from them
I do not envy the people who create and edit instruction books, so many steps and each one requires so much attention. If I worked that job I can guarantee there will be at least 1 error in every set for people to discover
Man I feel like AI is going to change this forever. I bet soon maybe even now you could prompt and AI to design a set for you, and give you the parts list.
@@lindboknifeandtool AI will certainly help make the process easier for the designers, but if you think AI could make an actual LEGO set with consistent, coherent step-by-step instructions? I'm sorry to break it to you, that's not happening for atleast another 50 years

I remember having one set with a StAMP. It was my first lego set, and it was a police van. I also remember being 1 blue technic pin short on a green Lego Technic racecar.
I actually have built The "Abandoned" Mine set from LEGO. I'm very happy it was featured in the video! I didn't come across any issues with mine (pun not intended) tho
Those mismatched hinges? I used to intentionally do that as a kid, disassembling and reassembling them to achieve it. I had a red/white pair that I treated as a magnet in play.
I have that McLaren set and I just realised that issue existed, when I first built it last year or whenever it was late at night so I wasn't too aware of things.
I personally only came across one misprint, it is the cover page of the Bionicle Barraki Pridak set, where his eyes are red instead of blue but the set and the instruction pages show it with blue.
On one hand, I find it mildly amusing that people get serious about such minor mistakes. On the other hand I can see my younger self being confused as to what a non-fitting number could mean and I also don't understand how most of these mistakes are even made. Can't designers just select a few parts of the build, click "make building instructions", repeat this for all parts and have their manual? It just seems like a lot of those errors would get lost in automation.
That also makes me think: Isn't AI good enough to produce thousands of cool and inventive brick-building-sets in a day? I'm not trying to get designers unemployed, I just think even creativity can be outsourced nowadays and therefore prices should be more consumer-friendly.
I had no idea about the sticker rule they put in place, I have the Indy Storm set from 1999 and literally on the very front a sticker goes across 2 parts.
This is not a rule.. he has made ANOTHER false and misleading statement…. There are many many examples of this method being used… But we cant let that ruin the nonsense
@@timehunter9467 no, sadly not, just one of those rules that happens to be nonsense he just made up… literally hundreds of examples.. two in last months release sets at least…
Only problems I’ve ever had is having missing pieces in two different sets, the first one could’ve been on me I’ll be honest I could have lost it but the second one just wasnt ugh I have a few of these sets I probably wouldn’t notice a lot of the instruction errors because I usually just look at the image to see what pieces I need to get, I usually don’t look at the piece count (just a a bad habit tho)
We have Lego night every 6 months. one year my GFs cousin got a Star Wars set and when she opened it, it had HALF of a car set all bagged up and in the box. she took it back and target almost didn't believe her. she eventually got it swapped out and when she got back with a new box of the Star Wars set she wanted, she opened it AND THE OTHER HALF OF THE CAR SET WAS IN THIS BOX. Target was obviously questioning it but eventually let her swap it again. we've always wondered if someone bought a cheap set and replaced it to get money back but it was 2 different boxes and neither seemed tampered with at the beginning. weird situation.
I got a dark gray 1x3 in my Artemis launch system set instead of a 1x2 with little things for claws to grab onto the other month so I got a replacement piece and finally finished a tiny staircase last week. Whole set took me two days (18 ish hours)
In the complementary trophy set you got when marking a purchase over a certain amount has the instructions shi placing a purple piece, but there are only blue given in that specific piece
Speaking of getting the wrong piece in lego sets, when i built my lego speed champions 1970 ferrari 512 m i got another 1x2 brick instead of the slope piece i needed.
My knuckles mech was weird, it was missing two round white tiles, had two extra white jumper plates and one of these light gray ingots was substituted for a pearl gray grill.
My worst Lego experience was when I got the daily bugle and it was like melted or miss shapen rather. Like a bunch of the pieces were bent or a door was caving in on the sides. When I reached out to Lego they asked me to send photos of all the pieces that were damaged so they could replace them but I didn’t know which pieces were melted because some of the damage was so minor I could only tell when it was put with another piece. I offered to send it back and get a replacement sent my way but they did not accept that’s like six hundred dollars I’ll never get back.
8:55 I've had that on one of my recent sets. I don't remember exactly which one it was, but it had around 8 or 9 total bags, so it was a bit of a hastle
Hello spitbrix, in the lego set 76277 in the image of war machine mech in the front of the instructions you dont see the 3 red transparent studs in the shooter (same for instruction page 88)
I just bought the new Speed Champions Audi S1 E-tron and the instructions show the older conecting grey pieces for the wheels and the set brings newer ones without the "crossed interior" !
when I got the Minecraft Sky Tower set, got an extra Trident, it was either supposed to come with one or two as stated in the piece inventory, but I got either two or three, I can't remember exactly. but I got an extra nonetheless
I recently encountered an error in a set I got. Step 41 in the Lloyd's Elemental Power Mech set shows a black Technic-brick-with-ball-socket piece, but there are no black versions of that piece in the set, and step 42 onward shows the piece in dark bluish gray, which is the actual color. It's only in the printed manual, though. I just checked the digital instructions, and the error's not there.
I got a Benny spaceship Lego movie set when I was younger and got a pirate head instead of Benny’s, my grandpa was able to use missing part to get me one
In lgo sets number 75582 if you foun number 27 on the 1st book (thingy) as you can see, lego dosent say to put the number 8th sticker, but lego added themself to the o mouth sticker with no saying that we are placing the 8th sticker
The Lego techinic 42167 has a part position error, the pin up to page 19 appears in the lock position, but on the next page it already changes position, as the piece that will be placed does not enter the position that the pin appears later
When I opened the Star Wars Phantom 2 set, I got 2 Thrawn heads. Not sure if I got a picture of that. I dont know if that's really a rare/weird mistake from Lego.
So there was a time I got a set missing a piece. I got the Lego Darth Vader Mech from Target and the blade for the big lightsaber was just not in the box. Lego set me up but still, odd missing such a big piece
