Haven't opened mine yet. Broken plates when I finally assemble it.

Oh, yes! I've had about 8-9 shipments over the years where the outer box
was fine and the set box looked like it was drop kicked or stomped. In the
beginning, I used to say oh well, luck of the draw. Not any more. With the high
price of some of these sets, I expect a decent box. As others suggest, call lego,
explain the damage of contents and that you'd like a replacement. They always
handled it well. It doesn't always work out to do this at the holiday though,
especially if it's a gift, with most sets selling out very quickly.

  If the set wasn't listed and inventoried, you can't find it with your
search!

True, thought the same after I've posted my message (at least the inventoried
part, I doubt that it hasn't been listed at all?).

Yes, I've had it before. Perfect shipping box but completely trashed box.
Complain and tell them you want it replaced or refunded.

Every time I received something like that from Lego, a telephone call to the
help number resulted in a return and a new set sent out. They've always
been very nice in my experience.

Could probably call LEGO, and they would probably make it right

I’ve gotten some pretty damaged boxes from LEGO directly even when the shipping
box is in decent condition.

You probably have newer parts of the 1X1 plate with clip piece. In your picture,
the ones with the green check mark are both older versions of that part, and
since their clips are thinner, they fit into the headlight bricks better.

 
Part No: 4085a  Name: Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Open O Clip Thin (Vertical Grip)

4085b Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with U Clip Thin (Vertical Grip)

are the ones you want. They're specific variants, so generally sellers who
have them for sale really do have those versions.

Not that bad.

I think two things are happening:

1. we want to make things too perfect: little holes here and there are not that
bad!

2. “you’re holding it wrong” / going at it backward.  The corner should be built
first.  It should be easier to adapt the sides to an abritrary corner than trying
to build a corner on an arbitrary side.

  Hey David,

Thanks for the response. I actually tried that, the two issues I had were 1.
The pitch in which the roof is angled and the size of the gap make it where that
piece doesn’t fit. 2. I had a hell of a time trying to even get that piece attached,
I tried using a the ball and clip but again the pitch of the roof made it difficult.
Again, thank you for your response. Much appreciated!!

and cover it with the same color of tiles?

I can't answer all your questions, but I believe they upload the set inventories
the moment they become available for purchase to the public.
It is so that customers who have broken/missing pieces in those sets can get
them through the customer service on the site.

When the parts will be in stock to order on B&P, I do not know. That could take
weeks, maybe even months.

And you are probably right about the bots, that makes most sense. Or else some
very dedicated fella did upload almost 1000 new parts to brickset today
