     Same here.  I bought a Matoro set from McD's only to find that someone had
stolen the Kanohi, and they sent me a replacement _set_.  I had a Manas drive

did send me a SASE to return the defective unit, but it was so they could
investigate why it didn't work correctly, not for proof that I wasn't trying to
scam them).  I was even able to get a December replacement for a mispacked piece
in the Technic R2-D2 (mixup between white #5 and #6 angle-connectors) even
though their Consumer Affairs department had been told that they wouldn't be on
shelves for another month.
