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.
