(...) Thanx Mark. I caught a thread along this line in the Star Wars group, where somebody was missing a Boba Fett from an opened Slave I set. The issue came up of whether LEGO should be replacing the parts free of charge. In cases of missing parts (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) My suggestion is this...call and ask. I'm sure they'll be able to tell you official TLC policy on this. If they say they'll replace it in any case then your conscience is clear, otherwise you'll know better next time. You'd be amazed how (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) LOL... I picked up a Duplo tub on clearance at TRU last weekend. It had been beat up, opened, taped and re-taped many, many times. Marked down to $4.90 from the $15-ish range.
