At least I think I broke a world record. I'm talking about lateness in receiving the Lego mag. That's right -- it is the 23rd of the next month, and I have have just now finally, finally received my Brickmaster magazine. I've always gotten my Lego magazine on the late side, and I've tolerated that. But this is totally ridiculous! What's happening over there at Lego!? Come on, the new comic made it on Bionicle.com over a week before I received my own in print! And you know how slow the comics section over there updates.

Okay, a week before last Friday (I think Friday -- it's been so long, I can't really remember), which was the thirteenth, I called Lego customer service asking what the heck was going on. It turned out that they had never even bothered to ship it! And it's not like it's kind of okay because it's a totally free magazine -- I'm actually paying for Brickmaster. That ticked me off, but they made sure my magazine got shipped right away. At that point, all I had to was wait for it to come. So wait is what I did. About three days after the call, I got a shipment notification e-mail. Pretty late shipment, but at least I knew it was on its way. I waited more. Usually, the time it takes for something to get from Enfield, CT is no more than six days. This time, I waited about twelve days. Today I was planning to give LCS another ring when I finally got a certain yellow envelope from Enfield, CT on the mail table. I opened it. Yes, all there: magazine, comic, brand new set...

Brand new set...hmmm...Mini Jedi Starfighter. Again. Brand new set, eh? *slaps forehead*
