I applaud anyone who beats the system. Companies should not force this kind
of stupid fairness on customers, LEGO will get its money in the end. The
whiners out there don't like people hoarding a product in order to sell it
at three times the price, but as long as someone is willing to pay $150 for
a $40 set it will keep happening.
Were these sets stolen? I think not, an order was placed and if they were
not billed that is the fault of LEGO. They should hire smarter employee's.
