So That's Why There's Numbers For The Pieces


NOTE: This has NEVER happened to me before. Until yesterday.

 

I got Vezon and Kardas yesterday. At a bargain, too: only $25 at Target's after-Christmas sale.

 

So, yippee-yay, I was all excited to get him built. Poured out the contents of the box. Got to building.

 

Well, lessee... I got about halfway done, I guess: I had just finished his legs, when I realized something.

 

I was missing pieces.

 

"Hmm... Nvm, let's keep building, maybe they'll show up."

 

Turns out, I was missing several pieces. Big silver ones, too. (The main wing pieces, Fenrakk's head armor piece, and two pieces to finish up the legs.) Yes, I scowered the box. There we no signs that it had been opened previously, and all the bags were factory sealed.

 

So... yeah, called the fancy LEGO assistnace number that I've never, ever had to use before, sat on hold for, like, forever, and got an order in for replacement parts. Thankfully, I marked down the part numbers before I called, so I didn't have to go flailing through the pamphlets to find them.

 

Whee.

 

So now Kardas sits, an incomplete blob, for 7-10 days while I wait for my order to get here. ><

 

At least Vezon looks happy. He gets to talk to his alternate self (the other Vezon from Vezon&Fenrakk set) all day.

I looked at your profile, and I can honestly say I've never met anyone Puerto Rican/Swedish until now. :P

EXTREEEEEME!!!

Ouch. >_< Sorry about that. I hope those pieces come soon, or Kardas isn't going to be a happy camper.

 

Edit: Typo.

Same! He totally ditched me for that wannabe Bionicle.com. Hrmph :P

 

Never had missing peices before, and I've never had the courage to call hotlines either.

 

Especially those automated things;

 

" Please, repeat your query."

 

" I SAID LEGO PEICES "

 

" I thought you said 'I need help', is that correct? "

 

" NO IT IS NOT CORRECT! "

I did a couple online set orders from them that were only halfway delivered; that is, only half of the order actually reached my house. Never found out where the rest went.

 

Also, I get the parts free if I use the phone. :P

I had to ride my bike to get to target and get kardas. He he still had every little thing. I hate when pieces go AWOL. :P
