When I have spare pieces and feel like I’ve missed a step

LEGO fans often find themselves with extra pieces after completing a set. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as missing a step in the instructions or simply having extra parts included in the set.

One user, /u/MBShepherd95, shared their experience of having spare pieces and feeling like they missed a step. This is a common feeling among LEGO builders, as the instructions can sometimes be unclear or the builder may have made a mistake. It's also possible that extra pieces are included in a set.

If you find yourself with extra pieces, it's a good idea to double-check the instructions to ensure that you haven't missed a step. You can also consult online resources, such as the LEGO website or fan forums, to see if other builders have encountered the same issue. Sometimes, the extra pieces are simply spares.

If you're a LEGO builder, you might find a brick separator helpful for correcting any mistakes.
