If it's OCD-ish then I, too, suffer. :) I've been the same way since about
10 years old or so... at least that's the first instance I can recall where
I was "sure" LEGO forgot a piece. What you described is almost word for word
how I, myself, would have described what I go through mentally. I'm not sure
if I should laugh about it or be slightly frightened that others think like
I do.. ;P
I can honestly say that up until about 2 years ago (when SW came out) I
never encountered any parts missing. That was the big 'bragging' point when
I'd talk to NonLEGO people -- I mean..how many companies can you say that
for..? Not may probably.
The first part that I found missing was a Darth Maul cape from the Jedi Duel
or whatever it was called. Since then I've had a few though the only one
that comes to mind was from an 8428 Turbo Command - one of the gray tubes
was missing.
I called about the tube and they actually sent me one of each size even
though the woman I spoke with in Customer Service was 99% sure she knew
which one I meant, just in case she was wrong - that impressed me.
I didn't call about the cape, though. Of course, now that I'm working in
castle a bit and could use it, I wish I had... but it seems like 2 years ago
is a bit reaching for my conscience's statute of limitations.. ;) I'm sure
they'd PROBABLY send it to me but...

| (...) That is definitely odd to have the first time happen at the same time as the second time and all after 21 years. In the close to 500 sets that I have I've only once come across a missing piece - on of the tubing pieces for the small Anakin's (...)
