I seriously scrounged over everything in the area, but I'm going to do a fourth check before doing anything. I poured the whole thing out onto one surface and sorted them by #. The set has been very consistent with putting the same pieces in the same bag or inner bag (unlike friggin janky rear end Assembly Square) and I had already used multiple of all of the parts that were missing in the same step. Also when I looked up reviews that mentioned bags quantities they were saying that there should only be one step 10 bag. I'm going to call customer service if I don't find a missing bag somewhere before doing the whole missing pieces deal because this seems like a pretty big manufacturing error considering I grabbed it after it being out of stock everywhere for months.

Last weekend I was at my inlaws grabbing some books for the nursery and they explained how they never threw out any toy ever and they just accumulated in their basement which lead me to discover:
A) Their son has a ton of cards
B) A ton of lego, including one of those monorails.

Kinda odd. I ordered the Interceptor x fang fighter off amazon and it came in a fitted cardboard box (within the amazon box) sort of like the big UCS sets, and also it came with the old style taped box instead of an awful punch tab box. I distinctly remember seeing the push tab box in reviews. tbh thats the first set in a couple of years I have seen with an old style Lego box.

Nah it’s clearly legit. Think it’s the European version since it has English/French on the box instead of English/Spanish.

Also amazon isn’t going to send people fakes. The people who think that are ordering from third party sellers without realizing it. Which is on Amazon since they blur the line on that way too much.

The real question is how many pieces it shatters into when you throw it at something. You know there are going to be multiple YouTube videos of people throwing that thing just to watch it explode into a couple thousand parts.

It has happened before, though not with Lego that I’m aware of, but Amazon and third party “fulfilled by Amazon” stuff has commingled in inventory and resulted in some bogus stuff going out as sold by amazon themselves.

Are there any good images of the right side of that Shadow Box Batmobile yet? In the announcement video it looks like the woman turns a knob to deploy the machine guns. They pop off with such energy and I'm curious how the mechanism works.

I ran into what seems like a mistake in the birdhouse set: if you build the baby bird in the shell according to directions, the eggshell half has a stud so it doesn't stand on a stud. The antistud is on the other egg half, but you also can't build the baby bird in that half. So I have a baby bird in a half shell sorta laying in the nest, with a full egg standing at attention next to it.
