Who said that? Answer offline if you want (I know who a few of the folks
there are)... This is very very interesting. Is it possible that we're
more significant to S@H than we realised? After all, it was us that did
a lot of the very very early ordering before the GP even knew the set
numbers or when they'd be available.
And if our actions causes TRU to stub their toe quantitywise and
consumers to be more annoyed than ever with them, I for one am not going
to be too upset. I suspect it's going to be a long time before we see
these sets on clearance, which is going to suck from a parts perspective
but if TLG makes lots of money, maybe, just maybe, they'll realise that
at least partly it's due to the set quality, it's not 100% Star Wars
cachet.
