concreteasflesh Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 ok so i have a big problem... im currently living in Israel, and the past 4 years i lived in Budapest, Hungary and im originally from Cali. i dont buy legos in Israel because its seriously double the price of budapest, the US or online. my parents and sister are living in california and we are meeting up in budapest for christmas. as some of you know there was a big buy 1 get 1 50% off sale in toys r us in america (here in israel too, but legos are still too expensive, and talk about NO selection) so i told them for xmas i would like the new Kings Castle Siege, 7094 and i would pay for the other one. i sent them photos, links, pricetags, TRU store locations, the works, it couldnt of been more clear.... today i checked my sisters myspace photos and saw a new pic of her and my dad decorating the christmas tree. in the background there were 2 big lego boxes! so i get really excited i took a closer look and to my SHOCK i was it was 2, 10176 Special edition king leos castle....with sticker shields, and non theme minifigs...GROSS and i already own 2 regular king leos castles...... what am i to do!?!?! im sure the sale at TRU is over and i hope they didnt send it to europe yet...by airmail.. i really dont want those sets and would much rather have the new castles. should i tell them to exchange it? would they still get the sale on returns? will they be dissapointed? so many questions... i have not a clue!?!? what would you do???

Stauder Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 I would ask them to return if and exchange them. If they alredy sent it, sell them or something, and buy what you want trough amazon or some other site. Just my 2 cents... Stauder. Quote
iamded Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Ooh, now this is a problem... I'd politely tell them they got the wrong set, and ask them if it would be possible for them to exchange it. I hope all turns out well. ~Peace Quote
Derek Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Accept them and be grateful. They obviousley mean well, especially if they bought two. Is this even really what Christmas is really about? You guys don't need me to go Charlie Brown on you do ya? :-D Quote

Dark Sword Ragnarok Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 ahh, not charlie! RUN! but seriously, that is a problem. I would just be grateful for the sets, personally. Quote
Hinckley Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Well, parts is parts and it's the thought that counts. You can do a lot with two of those sets and it is a gift after all. You can always get 7094 shipped to you at another time, although you'd have to pay for it. Is there a chance those castles are for someone else? Also, I'm moving this to Community as it has more to do with the dilemma than castle. Best of luck. Let us know what happens. Quote
Brick Miner Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 the real problem here is that you said you would pay for the other one, am i reading that right ??? so now you've gotten two castles that you don't want and had to pay for one. yikes !!! also my reply in this thread seems semi-relevant to your issue... http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...ndpost&p=229880 - BM Quote
