Ever since we found out there was a missing piece in one of our LEGO Creator sets, I have wanted to go through all the sets to identify if we have any other missing pieces.
Honestly, I was pretty disappointed with the little monsters for losing the piece. Kids nowadays got things easy so they don't cherish their stuff. Or perhaps just lousy parenting on my part... =(
Anyway, started a not so wise method which quickly lost its steam after a few sets. That was a long while ago.
A few more sets were added since then and this initiative was restarted again last weekend.
This time we used a wiser method and managed to go through all the sets in two weekends. Referring to the part list at the back of the instruction manuals, all pieces are accounted for.
Since there are usually a few spare pieces in a set, the missing piece was replaced with a spare. Good thing we have another set that has that particular spare. ^_^
I also sorted the LEGO pieces in our LEGO rack. A small sense of achievement when I completed that, hopefully the kids will follow the categorising and not mess up the whole thing.
Really glad this is finally done, think I will start creating stuff again and spend some quality time with the kids while doing so. =)
