So the other day like many people I went to the Lego Store to pick up a 4x4 truck exclusive. Ended up buying 2. No hot dog stand left unfortunately but decided to get a Friends polybag just for the free ice cream stand haha. Staff was unprepared for some reason and thought the free polybag was some kind of cup cake display...really small so I decided to put back the polybag, don't really want/need it. There was a lady in the store too with 2 young daughters and she kinda freaked out saying that's the only reason why she came in today is for the ice cream stand :) Guess I could understand...driving here, parking, kids are let down etc. One of the rep was calling around to see where it was or the status. Kept on apologizing to me and I told him no worries, not a big deal...stuff happens. Guess he was worried I was upset or would write a negative review on the store. He went to the back, came out and sneaked one of those chrome TC 14 polybag in my hand which was very nice, worth about $20 so a small 'discount' for my 4x4 trucks. Later on as I was walking around waiting for my wife to finish her shopping...I passed by the Lego store again and one of the reps remembered me, he said they finally found the ice cream stand and gave one to me without a Friends purchase :) Sweet. So 2 mini mechs, chrome TC 14 and ice cream stand as bonuses. We chatted a little bit and I told him people just need to relax...after all it's just a toy haha.
