This is such a bizarre story.... perhaps you should contact your local TV news
station. Most cities have "problem solvers" type news reporters who find
stories that they try to solve, usually against corrupt businesses. But this
one would make for interesting news coverage because of the strange nature of
the problem. Get it on TV or in the newspaper and I'll bet you get a response
from the company saying how sorry they are for not allowing you to buy all the
Lego you want. It'll make the store manager and the district manager look like
the jerks that they are.
