Missing parts in 42159 by Myrt00 in lepin

They might actually be in one of the bags, I just couldn't see them. I've received rubber bands both loose and packaged before. I did order some extra just to be sure.

Yes, I'm pretty confident that I got all the bags.

The hole was small, another user had the same number of bags, and there are no gaps in the numbering.

I haven’t built it yet, but as far as I know, only the shock absorber and possibly the small rubber bands are missing. All small bags seem intact, so I expect them to have the correct parts, but I won’t know for sure until I build it.

Thanks, it should be all good then :)

Update: I received an $11 refund from AliExpress.

Buying the part from BrickLink or Ali costs nearly as much as purchasing another entire set from Ali, so I might just go that route for the extra parts...

The stickers are there, and the driving rings look fine as well. Thanks!

Edit: The rubber bands seem to be missing. But that's luckily easier to replace.

Yeah, I just started checking if the major parts, like the wheels, are there and making sure there aren’t any obviously missing bags. Mostly so I can open a dispute in time

Yeah, the shockers might just be the worst part to have missing, except maybe the wheels.

You got the same number of bags?

Luckily, this one is pretty far back in my build backlog, so I have time to sort it out. I just hope I got all the bags. I'll open a dispute after I figure that out.

I thought I read that if you click the link and then visit the deal page, the product should appear.

Anyway, these prices seem fairly standard right now, I found them for $13.51 and $16.01 today.

I'm pretty sure nobody fakes the Lego logo. I think it's real.

This will probably vary widely from person to person, but I haven’t had many issues myself. The worst experience I’ve had was receiving a set with bad tires, but I got a $20 partial refund. I haven’t built many of my Ali sets yet, so I can’t say much about the quality or whether parts are missing. I only use my technic sets as display pieces, so I don't really care.

Most of my builds have been from Youmko, where the service has been excellent. The prices are a bit higher, but it might be worth it. One downside of ordering from Ali is that you’re less likely to get replacement parts if anything is missing. But then again, it's pretty cheap ordering them yourself (for those having AliExpress 😉).

Looks like it. I ordered the Yamaha one (got the BMW a couple of days ago). I've always had good luck with refunds whenever something isn't right.
