all the listed pieces and then some, but I've also never had that problem with
any MegaBloks set I've purchased.  As a conservative estimate I would say that
I own in excess of 200 MegaBloks sets, none of which has been missing anything
more substantial than a 2x4 brick.  Actually, I did once have trouble with
missing instructions from the big Mustang model, but that error was painlessly
corrected for me by TRU.

My experience is similar, but not quite identical. Of course I only have
55 Megabloks sets (including 23 battleships and 4 aircraft carriers). :-(
If I remember correctly, one of the battleship sets had the wrong bag of
parts in it. I think it was balanced by another one which had an extra bag
of parts. Since I was after them for the parts, I didn't much care. I doubt
you will see an aircraft carrier with an extra bag of parts - there just
isn't room in the box - its bulging as is!

I've only seen 1 error in a Lego set - it had a 2xN instead of the needed
1xN - not a big deal since I had others of that piece.

Experience should guide us, not rule us.
