A young man with Asperger's spent two full years saving up for a particular Lego set, only to find that the set had been discontinued in the interim.

With online prices skyrocketing for the set, someone wrote the Lego corporation about the matter.

In response, an employee of the company found him the set... and sent it to him for free.

Cool, eh?

Seconded, especially given the obsession that occurs in autistic spectrum disorders. It's entirely possible he wouldn't be able to settle for another set.

The positive press more than makes up for whatever it cost them to do that...

I don't think I ever heard of bad press about Legos.
