Since late in the Covid era, I have built over 40 Speed Champions (in addition to other items). Of late, more and more kits are missing parts. Used to be that there would be a few extra pieces of the small parts. Now, one is grateful to even get the required-to-build parts. And, for whatever inexplicable reason, parts are up to 10 weeks from request to receipt. (That is accurate: I just suffered that experience.) If LEGO is having some logistics issue with replacement parts, they should be stepping up their parts management in the original kits so as to minimize the need for collectors to have to wait 2.5 months to complete a build. I have three unopened kits that, at this rate, will take far more time to build than I would have anticipated or than I do appreciate. Note, too, that if collectors cannot finish a build, how many kits will they initiate and have incomplete because LEGO is lacking parts-insertion quality control? Eventually, the matter becomes delayed gratification and delayed purchasing as a result of the frustration involved in these two on-going matters: missing kit parts and extensive wait for missing parts. LEGO is absolutely, assuredly and unarguably doing nothing to maintain their reputation or credibility. What has taken years and years to develop is being destroyed in months. (It shouldn't be a collector who tells them that transparency and being forthcoming might be helpful and go a long way toward mitigating the frustration, anger, disappointment, disgruntlement and other negative feelings/emotions.)
