Title: Known quality control issue with 10234 Sydney Opera House?
UserDisplayName: Windfire
ThreadText: # Known quality control issue with 10234 Sydney Opera House?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2013-12-25)
  
  I have just completed 10234 Sydney Opera House, with one white half-shell (Bricklink: 41749 White Wedge 8x3x2 Open Right) missing.
  
  Both the Bricklink inventory and the Lego instructions show 34 of 41749 and 35 of 41750, so this looks unusual.
  
  Have I misplaced an element, or is this a known quality control issue with this set?

  You seem to imply you built some of the structures symmetrically; however, by looking at the building instructions, I notice they are not: the subpart starting at page 37 of book 3 uses 7 wedges in total, while the opposite one on page 48 uses only 6.
  
  While missing parts do happen (and are usually solved very diligently by the customer service, as said in other questions on the subject), it's always worth double-checking if the instructions were followed correctly, especially in such a huge model.
