 My last LEGO set was the Batmobile, and since I enjoyed building it so much, I decided it would be fun to build more cars. So, my impulse buy for New Year's weekend was the LEGO Ferrari F430 (it's not as big or complex as the Batmobile, but it was the best car set that Toys R Us had in the store!). I worked on it bit by bit during the weekend and decided to finish it up on New Year's Day, and I was completely shocked to discover that it only had three wheels! It had four tires and four hubcaps, but only three wheel pieces. Thankfully, the car has built in "auto-shocks" that can be extended, so it was sturdy enough to put all the cool decals on. Anyway, I checked out the LEGO Customer Service website and I was really impressed. Each LEGO piece has an ID number (listed in the back of the instruction book), and they have a special place where you can request missing parts by this number (and it confirms by showing a picture of the piece and the set and everything!). Their policy is to send out missing parts immediately for free, totally trusting the customer, which is fantastic! So, I should be getting an envelope with my missing wheel in the mail in a few days. I'm totally impressed with LEGO as a company and as my latest toy obsession!
