I see 2 pics up and they are both yours Susan, I would definately
contact Lego about this, Especially if the kid won some prize. I would
hope they would contact him and talk to the parents and get the prize
taken away. To bad someone didn't notice this while it was up for voting
:(
I hope they do something about it quick though.
