Bob...maybe I should have put a “sarcasm” at the end of my post. I agree with you. Personally I just think this was some guerrilla marketing by Lego. The turn around on buying the set,losing the piece, writing a letter, mailing it to the company during Christmas/New Year, having the letter read by someone in the company and receiving a response,then have it go viral all over the net with pictures.
Seems orchestrated, huh? I didn’t say it at first but thought it. But if some here get some “Christmas cheer” out of it, I don’t want to snow on their parade. Cheers!
