Grand Carousel (10196) - Knolling done

It took longer than expected to finish knolling the last 30% of the pieces (in hindsight probably 30% by volume and not by quantity). It seemed like we had all the small pieces left to count last night. Even though this set has slightly more pieces than the super star destroyer (3263 vs 3152), a lot more of them are small 1x1 plates, tiles, and "greebles".

Nonetheless, we plowed through it and got everything finished last night. Mom has developed a passion for knolling and finds it really enjoyable. There were even several types of pieces that I was just going to count and bag but she insisted on knolling hahaha. Anyway, to my surprise, there were only 4 pieces that were missing. I had honestly thought there would be more, particularly given how many tiny pieces are in the set. I sure do hope that our counting was correct .... I caught mom counting out 2, 4, 6, 10 at one point ....

Hopefully, the seller will be willing/able to send the missing items - not sure how good the Lepin customer service is. Lego would have no problems sending out the items. Time will tell, I guess.

So with pieces missing both in this set AND the super star destroyer, we are at a bit of a standstill. I was hoping on building the star destroyer first but at this point, it looks like whichever set gets all its pieces first will get priority.
