LEGO Missing Piece Checker

Rule out the usual hiding places first. If the piece really is gone, check the set piece by piece and leave with the element ID LEGO asks for, or a link to buy the part.

The Guardian Battle

Checking

21180 The Guardian Battle

251 pieces in 94 part and color combinations, plus 1 minifigure.

The official piece count includes the 4 parts inside the set's minifigures, which this inventory lists separately. Spare parts are counted in neither figure.

Before you call it missing

Builders who report a missing piece often find it in one of these places. Tick each one off as you look.

Look-alike colors in this set

These parts appear in this set in two colors that are easy to confuse. If you are one short in one color, check whether it went in where the other color belongs. Each color has its own element ID in the parts list at the back of the instructions.

Tick each piece as you find it, or mark it missing.

When a piece really is missing

Ask LEGO

LEGO takes requests for pieces missing from a new set through its customer service site. The form asks for the set number and each piece's element ID, the number printed beside the piece in the parts list at the back of the instructions. This checker lists both.

Request a replacement from LEGO

Buy the piece

Mark a piece missing and your list links it to an eBay search for that part, which also covers pieces from older or second-hand sets.

Keep a record

Copy or download your missing list (the CSV opens in any spreadsheet), or print the whole checklist and tick pieces off on paper. Your marks stay in this browser, so you can check a big set over several sittings.
