    I think a lot of us must do the same thing! After a build I take what is left and put into a small ziploc bag and throw in a dedicated drawer for such bags and other miscellaneous items. If I get too many bags I just combine them all into one and it becomes a general "extras" bag. I am not concerned with putting these…

    Actually got an extra piece last night that surprised me. Was making the set, 7957, Sith Nightspeeder, and for the Savage Opress figure, I got two spiky headpieces.

    I don't just think it is down to the accuracy of the weighing equipment. Yes, lego could ensure that they don't make a mistake, but they cannot ensure that the customer doesn't. I often get a single small piece stuck in a bag that I don't notice first time around. I often drop a piece and have to scramble about looking for…

    @richo: That was one of the best extra pieces ever. My boys were very excited because they turn it backwards and put it on my 1999 Darth Maul instead of his hood.

    I haven't built any new Lego models in over 20 years, and never remember having extra pieces. I picked up a couple of small things last week to decide if I want to get into serious building.. I assembled the 40085-1 - LEGO Valentine, and had about 5 pieces left over. Started to look for what steps I missed when building…

    The pain of having to flip thorough the instruction books once you are done with a model, because you left out some important pieces. I had to experiences that once finished building my FB. I left out two 1x1 plates. I know, I hate that, I had a couple smooth flat 1x2 pieces and thought "well that's weird, I never get…

    Sometimes I keep them in the original box/bag, and sometimes I'll sort them into my collection and other times I'll find ways of building them into the set itself. e.g. with the MMV there were enough spare pieces to make a second brick-built duck.

    I've seen this talked about in a few other discussions, but haven't seen a topic dedicated to it. I've been curious about what others do with the left-over extra pieces TLG provides in every set. I used to try and find places on the completed set to put them that would either enhance the look or hide them. Then I became…
