I need to share with SOMEBODY.

After 21 years of putting together Lego sets, last night I came across the
very first instance of a set missing a piece. I have had "near misses"
before, where a piece was hidden or stuck somewhere, but last night I put

did. And THEN, and this is why I had to write, the very next set I put
together (the Trade Federation ATT) was missing a blue 2x2 brick. How very
odd. Twice, in one night, after 21 years.

Just had to share.
