Thanks for the succinct review of this set, @Buzzetta. There isn't anything you mentioned in your review that I'd quibble with, but then again this is the first Lego set I've built in a long, long time.

I actually thought the structure could easily have been about 25% bigger (I checked the measurements before purchasing so that it would fit in the spot I had picked out in my cave).

The sign of an inexperienced Lego set builder is having extra pieces left over. And I did. But I swear by the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth that at least 2 bags were missing pieces. I made due and improvised.

In the past ten to fifteen years, Lego has included one extra piece per bag per color of each “small” piece like a 1x1 round headlight piece or the “claw” piece as they are easily lost.  On the larger sets like this you will have a lot of little kibble pieces left over.  You should not have any larger pieces left over like full bricks or mini figures or things like that.  So you are probably fine.  
 

Unfortunately Lego quality control has been slipping and it has been reported that there have been larger pieces missing from sets.  So it is unfortunate and probably true that there were missing pieces.

Here's my Christmas and birthday present, the Hot Toys ROTJ Scout Trooper (my first Hot Toys figure). It's absolutely stunning and perfect in every way, I just wish the camera would play along and show that (the helmet looks washed out, and that's not even my phone, but a newer iPhone I borrowed). Please forgive the clear plastic booties and gloves, he won't be going on display just yet so I'd rather they stay in place for now.

At first I thought "red panda" was slang in Australia for fox, but evidently is its own creature. :)

Something that I wasnt aware of idk 

lol No, we do have foxes, but we just call them foxes. Red pandas are Chinese, and they're awesome little guys. I've hand-fed them before, and they're very neat creatures.
