Hero LEGO customer service rep helps out seven-year-old who lost his favorite piece Everyone loves LEGO, except maybe the legions of parents who’ve felt the pain of stepping on an errant piece. Now, thanks to the efforts of a dedicated customer service rep, there is more reason than ever to appreciate the popular toy company. Aside from being the painful blight of barefoot parents everywhere, the other common LEGO pitfall is losing the tiny pieces. And that’s exactly what happened to seven-year-old Luka when he took his favorite Ninjago figure to the grocery store, despite his father’s warning that it’s not a good idea. Luka, who’d saved up all of his Christmas money to buy the Ninjago Ultrasonic Raider LEGO set, wasn’t willing to let it go. According to Babble, Luka followed his Dad’s advice (for once!) and wrote to LEGO seeking some help. The little boy owned up to his mistake, and the fact that he’d ignored his dad when taking his beloved Ninjago Jay ZX figure to the store.
My name is Luka and I am seven years old. With all my money I got for Christmas I bought the Ninjago kit of the Ultrasonic Raider. The number is 9449. It is really good. My Daddy just took me to Sainsburys and told me to leave the people at home but I took them and I lost Jay ZX at the shop as it fell out of my coat. I am really upset I have lost him. Daddy said to send you a email to see if you will send me another one. I promise I won’t take him to the shop again if you can. If Luka’s dad is anything like me, he was probably pretty frustrated, and didn’t expect much to come of the letter. But good on him for encouraging his kid to reach out, while also taking responsibility for his mistake. And despite dad’s probable desire that Luka remain bereft – just to teach him a lesson! – LEGO came through, and then some. Richard, a dedicated customer service rep, heard Luka’s plea and delivered – with a little help from Ninjago’s Sensei Wu. “Normally we would ask that you pay for a new one if you lose one of your minifigures and need to have it replaced.
My bosses told me I could not send you one out for free because you lost it but, I decided that I would put a call into Sensei Wu to see if he could help me. Luka, I told Sensei Wu that losing your Jay minifigure was purely an accident and that you would never ever ever let it happen ever again. He told me to tell you, ‘Luka your father seems like a very wise man. You must always protect your Ninjago minifigures like the dragons protect the Weapons of Spinjitzu!’ Sensei Wu also told me it was ok if I sent you a new Jay and told me it would be okay if I included something extra for you because anyone that saves their Christmas money to buy the Ultrasonic Raider must be a really big Ninjago fan.” Not only will Luka be getting a replacement piece, but he’ll also be receiving an extra toy. “I hope you enjoy your Jay minifigure with all his weapons. You will actually have the only Jay minifigure that combines 3 different Jays into one! I am also going to send you a bad guy for him to fight!”
Score one for Luka! And here’s to LEGO, and Richard, for responding in such a fun way. Last but not least, score one for Luka’s dad, who not only got his seven-year-old to listen to him, he got more toys to potentially curse at the next time he goes to grab some milk in the middle of the night.

Lego’s customer service department should run the world. — Scott Kerr (@scott_kerr) September 16, 2016 Trust goes both ways (can you tell I’m a dad?) and if we parents want our kids to rely on us, we need to give them a reason to. People worried about their own children or grandchildren with Down’s Syndrome get hope from Maryanne and Tommy’s story. Finally, a piece of clothing that goes beyond the tired and boring stereotypes we’ve all seen a million times. We aren’t food snobs or anything, but we do expect that when we order chicken we’re getting something that is at least mostly chicken.
It is clear that what Trump has done is make affordable childcare a pet project for his favorite daughter (sorry, Tiffany.) Because moms need to sleep, dammit. For many kids, the free school lunch is the only meal they can count on. “I still have many, many days of guilt and questions – what if I would’ve just given him a bottle? And anger because how would I have known.” Senator Huffines, you should be ashamed of yourself. “He thought it would be so hilarious to confuse his teacher with the same haircut.”FOR THE BIGGEST RANGE OF NEW LEGO SPARES ON AUSTRALIAN EBAY, WHY BUY NEW LEGO?? When you buy new lego from BUBBLEGUM'S LEGO BAZAAR you are guaranteed to receive MINT CONDITION pieces. These are fresh from the factory and have the beautiful glossy surface of new bricks! And since my prices are the same as for used lego, it makes sense to go with quality! Some sellers sift through piles of used lego and fish out stuff that looks okay, then sell it as "new" lego.
However, this typically has a poorer appearance than brand new pieces. Looking at the seller's feedback comments will usually reveal if they are doing this. I guarantee that all the NEW lego I sell is straight from the factory and never played with. Often sellers will flog off any old stuff, and it is difficult to tell from the picture whether it is in good shape or not. I bought a lego pirate boat once and several pieces were broken, the limbs on the figures were loose and pieces were stained by exposure to the sun. It's not something I would have sold, and that's the sort of thing you clearly want to avoid. Again, buying NEW lego removes this possibility, but if you are buying second hand you're best off buying from someone with a good feedback score and comments. WATCH OUT FOR RETURN POLICIES AND GUARANTEES Most sellers view their responsibilities ending when the item is posted. While this is most often okay, occasionally items are lost in the post or arrive in unsuitable condition.
Always contact the seller prior to leaving feedback. Personally, I guarantee that your purchase will arrive and you will be satisfied, or you receive a full refund. That covers items being lost in the post as well. Note that I have found the post to be very reliable and have only ever lost one parcel. It's always worth checking your seller's return / refund policy prior to buying. HOW TO GET THE BEST DEAL It's best to shop around, of course. But when it comes to quality, you're always best off going for brand new lego. Prints will be intact, windows will be crystal clear, minifigure limbs will be tight. THat's what you'll get in my shop...top quality at low prices. SO BE SURE TO GET THE BEST DEAL YOU CAN!
