Here's a copy of a letter my wife encouraged my son to dictate
to LEGO after he complained about the Mos Espa Podrace Set. We
are trying to teach our boys to be assertive consumers...in other
words "Don't complain to me, complain to the manufacturer"

I hope you all get a kick out of it...remember, he's only 7.

Dear Lego President

I am Owen Hempel. I like lego a lot. We have the three in one pod
racer kit. We have the bongo we have sail and fly marina we have
the X-wing and Launch Command, scorpion tracker, Darth Vader's tie
fighter, and the Y-wing and the octan truck and way more plus all
of my Dad's old lego. I really like the lego a lot.

The three-in-one pod racer costed me $99 which I shared with my
brother Eric who is my twin brother and we just turned seven years
old in July the 9th. We had to save our money for 13 weeks but mom
paid the tax.

this lego is not very strong, for instance subulbas pod racer. And
whenever you just start to touch it it breaks. it's not all that
strong and if you spend all that money on a pod racer there is no
point in making it unstrongly.

From Owen Hempel

*this note was typed by Owen's mother Christy Hempel but dictated
and initiated at Owen's request.
