Seriously. How many times when you're a kid are you out shopping with your parents, see something awesome, ask for it, and get told "well, save up your allowance and you can get it then".

Now imagine actually doing that. For two years. And then you find the toy you want is no longer sold in stores, and is only availible for twice what it took you nearly a quarter of your life to save up. That would be crushing. He looked for it, his parents looked for it, and he finally wrote to LEGO.

And LEGO delivered. That's just awesome. Props to these guys.

And remember, young ones. Next time your parents tell you to save up for something, tell them ok, but if the price has doubled by the time you get the money together, they get to shell out the rest.
