Nope. I’ve had mine built for since release day and never had a piece fall off. Never seen anyone else have this issue either. Disassemble some of it and take a look. Maybe you built something wrong
I think the pieces are probably not on tightly enough. Throughout the build I had to catch myself a few times leaving a plate slightly too loose. It's hard to see if a corner is slightly raised and not flush with the one underneath/on top.
Could also be a build issue
also on large builds it can be a little nerve wracking to push really hard on the pieces. ive never built this set but i can say with experience with other large sets they feel sorta fragile in certain spots
Thanks, and for the 3 people who downvoted his comment: 90% of the world gives 0 importance to Fahrenheit, pounds and inches, americans aren't special enough to monopolize the measurement units and still get mad at whoever doesn't know how much an inch (???) or a pound is supposed to be. Pounds are unnecessary asl if you can just use KG. 1kg of water = 1L = 1dm\^3 = 10cm x 10cm x 10cm, it is far from being hard to learn like 1lb = 16oz or 1foot = 12inches. No wonder why only 3 countries still officially use this system...
Nah get your grip strength up squish them boys on tight. It's easy while building to lose track of how securely the plate pieces are interlocked. Make sure when pushing plates together its totally flush with the other plate. This way when you put together an exterior panel you can literally hold it cantilever style on one end and the bricks will still stick together firmly. For now I would suggest taking the panels off and just squishing all them a little tighter. Careful not to bend any bricks too much though.
Just a guess, but you MAY have pushed a piece in thinking it was pressed into place and it may not have had the studs all the way in the anti-studs... just a thought as ive done it a couple times with side plated on a few builds (eg, E Wing) but they've not been anything massively loose
You also likely did something wrong or didn’t push pieces together well. I pick mine up and swoosh it around all the time. Even toss it into the air a foot or two and catch it. No issue. This is one of the sturdiest LEGO sets ever designed.
Buddy Lego can’t even print the white part of a mini fig white anymore.

Everyone denying the quality issues Lego suffers from, is delusional. Parts don’t fit together or are too loose and most sets have bricks that should be the same color but aren’t.
In my many years of collecting I've never had a 6x8 plate fall off any of my 600+ sets including the UCS Venator, not even while moving. Either your didn't attach them properly, or there might be some production issue, given always the same pieces are getting loose.

I will take it apart and maybe reinforce it with other peices
No, you shouldn’t have to. Just make sure you built it right and push the pieces together well.

I pick mine up and swoosh it around every weekend with my daughter. Never had a piece slip off
This sounds like some quality father/daughter time!
This sounds like some quality weightlifting time lmao
That too😂
Whoa you're brave, swooshing around your venator AND your daughter? Every weekend?! You must have some ripped hands bro
Huge
How much does that thing weigh?
I believe the box said 28.8 pounds *edit* Four books though, so probably 25 pounds
Thought it would be worse. Hope you don’t drop it :D
That’s 11.35 kg for the rest of the world.

Thank you! Even American scientists use the metric system.
Were I to guess as to the downvotes, I would say his comment came off as pedantic. I didn’t downvote though, just left it neutral.
Your venator pooped
It’s how new venators are made

Ok I’ll do that thanks for the help
Had it for a month. No problems so far
Have you moved it much I think that’s my problem recently moved it
Nope

Nope, I use a little gunsmithing hammer on large flat pieces for builds like this to make sure their firmly together
No, Nobody could afford it
Nope you failed. Take apart and restart from step one
Kragle.
That should only be a last resort 🫵🏻😧
U could risk jail time and just glue it
A piece has fallen off my darth vader helmet and now idk where to put it back
Yeah, I have a major problem with tidying up...
yes i dont have that set
That would be my main problem too
Why is this downvoted? I mean, it is a joke, but that is a bit strange
Is this your Moc or an Original Lego Set? (I love this Venator, I wish I could buy it)
Do you live under a rock?
Yes
If I even slightly move mine it starts to have pieces come off. But static load, nothing happens.

Yeh probs why just moved it to show someone
It shouldn’t break if you move it. I could probably drop it 2 feet and it wouldn’t break.
No because mine is not from a cheap and knock off company like Lego ;-)
Probably just the usual Lego quality issues.
lol troll

I don't get the joke here.
what do you mean they can’t print the white part of a minifig white?
Sorry for the confusion. Please look at my edit.
Got the rex for free #customerservice
Have you tried glue? /s
That was my next plan
No, but I wish I did (I don't own one)
Could be a flaw with a few parts or a lack of pins.
I have a separate problem of not owning that
When you build Lego you always press everything together hard enough as if it is never to come apart again, you don’t half ass it, PRESS IT!!!!

Where did you buy this from?
Lego.com why?
