The Avenger Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 These are the things that really enhance a company's reputation - you can't buy that type of positive PR - it's good to see that a company that made the extra effort and did something special gets rewarded with a positive story like this.
Just Jack Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 Another story.... Boy writes letter to LEGO after losing minifigure, gets awesome response Seven-year-old Luka Apps spent his Christmas money on the LEGO Ninjago Ultra Sonic Raider set. A sound investment, if you ask us. But the thing about LEGOs -- those small pieces are easy to lose. They don't call 'em minifigures for nothing. Against his father's recommendation, young Luka took his newly procured Jay ZX shopping. And then, wouldn't you know it, the figure went missing, never to be seen again. Luka, not one to admit defeat, decided to write a letter to the good people at LEGO seeking a replacement.

mrags Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 That's kinda scary. In my time as a kid, cool as hell. But the way society is now and the way we are supposed to shelter out children, very surprising IMO.

Its tough as hell and wont open easily. Which is good because they are small.
