Me too, but its not really a black and white thing. Customers are customers - when they are annoyed you do your best to fix them up, whatever the technicalities of the situation.

When you are surprised by a customer reaction (remember New Coke?) you get to learn something about your customer and their relationship with your product that you didn’t know before.

I guess this time, TLG learned a little bit more about “Collectability”. If there are plenty of returns, it will prove the existence of an adult collectors market beyond doubt. Then TLG will start thinking about ways of exploiting it to a greater degree than they have in the past - with both good and bad effects for us AFOLs.
