Hapori Tohu Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Like many of BZPower's readers and members, seven year-old Luka Apps is a huge Ninjago fan. Against his dad's advice, he brought his favorite minifigures to the store with him, where one was inevitably lost. In a last-ditch effort, he wrote to LEGO describing his plight, upon which the helpful (and creative) rep secured permission from Sensei Wu to send Luka a (unique) replacement figure. There's one fan LEGO will be holding on to for a while.

Cyrix Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Reading this story made me smile. Just goes to show how much Lego cares for its fans (and how creative their staff can be). Quote [Cyrix] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Shockwave~ Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I've heard of them doing stuff like this before. I must say, I prefer them over hasbro for stuff like this.

FrozenFlash Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Aww... how cute. I like how Lego cares so much about it's fans. It's just... really awesome and kind. Also, the letter written by Richard is pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Xemnas~ Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I've seen this before. Darn, should've reported it as news. I really love this story- it just shows how awesome Lego is and how they're not like a crazy company who doesn't care about their customers or anything.

Kakaru Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I don't know what that link is going to, but my college's network filter is vehemently opposing it.

Obsessionist Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'm surprised they did this- after all, they can hardly afford to send everyone who loses a part a new Lego set. But I am glad they did it this time. I'm not sure what makes the minifig so special? Is there a picture of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate StarsSaberBee 823 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 This story is awesome, I also have this set, and had I lost my Jay ZX figure I probably would've just had to cut my loses and maybe buy a cheaper set that came with the firgure. However, Lego needs to keep their focus on the younger children, and this shows how they are. Keep it up Lego! Quote Percussion is love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mare Tranquillitatis Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 This is just beatiful. If one needed more proofs to officially nominate LEGO as one of the best companies ever, well, there he goes. LEGO, we love you as much as you love us!

Nightvol: Lord of the Horde Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I interpreted "combines three into one" to mean that it took the head from one version of the minifig, the body from another and perhaps the gear/accessories of a third.

Hahahahqahah wow all that mysttery and suspence i was put through for a mismatched JAY XD if that is the case tho.very good interpretation my freind but i still feel the need to stalk that kid to his house and ninja my way in at night just to see what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 what did they mean about the jay that takes the three ninjas into one! Guess that means I'm not the only one confused by this. I assume it's one of those minifigures which have three different faces on one head.Um... no minifig has THREE faces on one head. I think it just referred to the extra weapons packed with him. Perhaps Jay ZX's weapon along with the Nunchuks of Lightning from Jay DX and the spear from NRG Jay? It would have helped if the person posting this had shared a picture.

Gatanui Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm confused about that Jay minifigure. Still, this story is heart-warming and simply great. Shows me it wasn't a mistake to remain a fan of LEGO over these years. -Gata Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!
