You have GOT to be the #1 jerk of Lugnet for the above comment. I bought ZERO of
them. But you know what? I could have bought them all, and you'd have ZERO
reason to whine. Why? Because you could have called in, just like me.
I live in CA, which means I have to call at 5am to get the Specials when they
open. Well guess what, SO CAN YOU. You want to get in on the deals? CALL, just
like I or anyone else would have to if I didn't post them. I'm sure there ARE
people that call before I do and get stuff through their "insider" info (what a
CROCK!).

Bzzzt, wrong answer - the NebO has been offered SEVERAL times as S@H Specials.
You had your chance.

THERE IS NO FAVORITISM - I have to call to get the Specials, just like anyone
else. You want a better chance of getting something? Call before me! I
sometimes call much later in the morning, and sometimes they don't have the
Specials list ready, so I have to call back several times. You or anyone else can
do the same. Don't complain if you miss out on something just because you saw it
posted, and many others saw it before you. Join the mail gateway for .lsahs, and
you'll get the email with the Specials the second it shows on Lugnet.

Then don't even BEGIN to drag the S@H Specials into this, you have no business
doing so, there is no favoritism involved.
FUT lugnet.off-topic.debate, this doesn't belong in dear-lego anymore, no matter
how much whining at TLC Richard wants to do.
