I almost feel pity for them. My local Target (So. Portland, Maine) had lots
of EpII Lego. Since I already own a copy of Jango's Slave I, I didn't
really want a second one so I thought I would annoy the sales people a
bit...being the a$$h@le that I am. I pointed right to the mistake, they
scratched their heads. They tried to point to Technic Jango...I pointed to
the sales tag, then the Slave I box. They were stumped. Long story short,
they got a department lead over to the scene to scan the Slave I bar
code...$24.88. I said, "Fine, I'll take two." I checked out of Target, and
checked in to WalMart. Returned the two Slave I sets at WalMart for store
credit only (because I couldn't reproduce a WalMart receipt). Got home with
a Republic Gunship. No flyer in hand, no questions asked. I know, I'm
going to hell.
