I think these are second-hand from eBay, or at least not exactly unopened new boxes. Which means asking Lego for new parts seems a little presumtuous. I could be wrong though 
I think I've had three genuinely missing parts (vs finding a "missing part" hiding in a bag) in dozens of sets, large and small.
On a related topic, a friend of mine had a missing inner bag which formed part of one of the "bags" for the millennium falcon and they couldn't just send the one mini bag (it was one of the bags in a bag with small parts) and had to send the whole main section (i.e. all of bag 14 which is actually a number of smaller bags!)
Ah, missed that (I clocked 'brand new')...I think I've had three genuinely missing parts (vs finding a "missing part" hiding in a bag) in dozens of sets, large and small.

Agree about getting spares from LEGO - I would if a new kit had any missing but a used one I'd go to Bricklink and buy it.

This, & a couple of others, were as bought ‘as new’ with confirmation that every piece was present & correct.I think I've had three genuinely missing parts (vs finding a "missing part" hiding in a bag) in dozens of sets, large and small.

Sadly turned out not too be the case & when I contacted the seller he told me to f
k off!!!Lego have stated that they will supply the missing pieces with a nominal cost to myself which is fair enough.

Also don’t forget he’s buying a new kit every 5 minutes so he’s likely to encounter more kits with issues than most of us.
That’s true. Picking up the Harley Fatboy & Lunar Lander tomorrow. Also got my eyes on a second Porsche 911 RSR on a local Facebook selling site.Current asking price is £50.00!!! Built up but I’ll take it too pieces & rebuild it if I get it.

It is a great build, finished mine last night - the scissor door mechanism is a particularly neat design, and the exhaust manifolds are a work of art. I also like that they've made the engine bay cover easier to remove than on the Chiron.
A bit disappointed in the colour match between some of the bodywork though - there seem to be two distinct shades of 'lime green', even among the same type of piece. Not great for a £350 kit imho:
Timbergiant, does yours have the same issue or is the bodywork all a uniform colour? It's not hugely noticeable unless you look closely, but now I've seen it I can't un-see it...
