ask about local Lego parts store in Vancouver

[clay]

Hi ,
I bought a Lego NXT 2.0 (8547) for my son, he likes it and was following instructions and built some "projects", but a few days ago, there's was one piece missing and he could not continue building just because of this missing piece. It was a " Technic Angle Connector #6 ", http://peeron.com/inv/parts/32014 .

I know could buy it from http://www.bricklink.com , but just want to check if there's any local Lego parts store, just to go there and buy it , to save the trouble of online shopping just for this piece.

Anyone know if there's any Lego parts store in Vancouver where I could get this piece ? Thanks.

Hi Clay,
If the missing peice came from a set you should Legu customer service. They are usually pretty good at sending out pieces that are missing from sets. If not from a set there are some local bricklink stores that allow local pick up.
Pacific Pieces is one of them. they are located in Abbotsford.
hope that helps

Thanks, and sorry for not making myself clear. The piece was there when we opened the package, it's our fault (actually might be my younger son who played with it and got it missing) that it went missing. so I guess can't call Lego and ask for a replacement.

Abbotsford is a bit far for me. looking for some store in Vancouver area ?

maybe I should say lost a piece. Thanks.

LEGO's customer service isn't restricted to replacing missing pieces - they also cover lost or broken situations as well. Their website is at http://us.service.lego.com/en-US/replac ... fault.aspx and it will take you through a form to determine the piece(s) you're interested in.

Since you lost the piece, they're entitled to bill you for it (send you an invoice), but I highly doubt they'll bill you for a single, small piece.

Good luck!

But we are still just talking about one #6 angle connector, and regardless who ships it, shipping one is still silly. I have a whole drawer full in my Technic cabinet and you can have one. We just need to figure out how to get it to you. I'm at Nanaimo and William, and you can find me off list at countplatypus {at} gmail [dot] com.
