I know others have found missing pieces from their Kreo figures; I'm curious to know if it's the same pieces from the same figures or random.
I bought Series 3 Long Haul early this year when they were released at Big W and found it missing 2 pieces - the doubles of the 1x2 plate and 1x2x1 panel - I circled them in red in the scanned instructions below (look close, the circles are pretty thin). Today I stumbled over more Series 3 figures and bought a replacement Long Haul... I was amazed to find it was missing the exact same 2 pieces!

I was wondering what pieces others have found missing and from what figures - is the fact I'm missing the same 2 pieces from the same figure a systematic problem or a random coincidence?
I wrote to Hasbro after the first one - they did respond but said they were unable to assist with missing pieces (and for me to return the item and get a replacement if I wanted it addressed... but of course I'd never seen another one until today so I kept it). I will write again to let them know its happened again! Good thing is that between the 2 figures, I have one complete Long Haul now :p
