If you do find that a piece is "missing," TLG will
replace it, virtually no questions asked. I've never
had any problems with that--I was missing a whole
polybag from a clearance set once, and they told
me to tally the pieces and then let them know what
I needed (!!). Since I got the set for almost nothing,
and had already opened the others so I couldn't
assay the bag directly, I decided it wasn't worth it.
I assume they'll be just as kind with the SW sets.
Now, I just opened my second Droid Fighter (7111).
As it turns out, the 2x2 inverse-45-slope dark grey
pieces are "weird." Y'see, the LEGO logo on top
of the two frontmost studs are progressively "turned."
When the two pieces are set side by side properly,
you can see the first one is correct, the second skewed
15 degrees, the third is skewed 50 degrees, and the
last about 80 degrees. This, to me, is Highly Weird.
Has anyone else encountered various unprecedented
malformations in the ABS as of late?
