During the 2002-03 Hockey Season the LA Kings did an interesting promotion, they gave away five mini-Lego type figurines made by the now-defunct company SMITI. The five figures were available at five different games, the first of which was in October and you got a box to go with your first figure.

| Not my set, but this is it. |
I didn't go to ANY of the actual games. At least I'm pretty sure I didn't, I don't have my ticket book hanging about to double-check. In any case during the season I managed to acquire four of the five figures and the box, but the Ian Lapierriere figure eluded me.
FOR 12 YEARS.
Now granted I probably forgot to check for him for a few of those years, but I've had an alert for a single figure on eBay for several years. This last week while we were on vacation in Utah the alert popped up, and the price was right. $4 shipped. AT LAST - my set is complete. Well, he has a broken stick, but I don't care.
Problem is that the other four figures and the box are in storage. Dammit.
