For his birthday in November, Sterling received Anakin’s Jedi Starfighter Lego set. I think the only reason he wanted this particular set was to get the blue light saber blade. Since that was his favorite piece, he played with it constantly. But as a result, he lost it the first day. We’ve searched the house to no avail and he is ready to buy a whole new set just to get that one piece. I tried to order a replacement on the pick-a-brick section of the Lego website, but they only have green light saber pieces available. I suggested that before he fork over another $20 for the set, that he try writing a letter to Lego and see if they could possibly send him the right piece. He wrote this letter without any help, straight from his sweet little 7-year old heart. I especially like how he included the “TM” each time he wrote “lego”. It melted my heart. Let’s hope it melts theirs!

Let us know if it works. Iain lost his too.

I think this is my favorite post of yours – hillarious and sweet.
Tanya says:
Oh, Sterling is so sweet. I love his letter and hope he gets a new blue light saber soon.

I’m sure this will work. I’m not 1) seven years old or 2) cute but even I’ve seen success doing this. I just sent back a pair of defective headphones to Logitech with a letter explaining how I liked their products in general but the headphones had issues and they responded by granting me $150 credit towards any Logitech product of my choice. I always thought they were a great company, but that just solidified the fact in my mind and because of it they won my continued loyalty.

I wonder if it works with socks. Dear Hanes, I have lost the right blue striped sock…

My question is, did he actually include the $1.00 like he suggested in his letter? I think I need to start writing companies more letters…
