This guy didn't do anything wrong. He just sold two Lego sets to someone
and made some money. (that someone being Wal-Mart.) It would be the same
thing if I bought two sets for $25 and sold them on eBay for $50 each. In
this case Wal-Mart paid the full price in store credit... so really, they
made their money right back.
Now, if this guy bought two sets, opened them, played with them and then
returned them to Wal-Mart without the Jango Fett figure I could see you
having a problem.
Hmmmm.... ;-)
