I just wanted to give you guys another perspective.  If you frequent Fatwallet or Slickdeals, then you become no stranger to price/coupon mistakes.  In reality, HTS response is fairly decent in giving you an option to cancel if you don't want.  To give you an example of a BAD response. . . a few years ago there was a Staples online coupon that was posted on all the major deal sites.  After using it and receiving the merchandise, Staples charged us full price with NO NOTICE.  I complained to my credit card company and faxed in my order showing that I paid the proper amount.  Staples responsed by accusing me of using a fake coupon (even though their system accepted it) from a website I had never even heard of.  They left a negative mark on my credit and my credit card company sided with them, so I dropped that credit card.  So in reality, I believe HTS's response is really just the run of the mill you would expect from a price/coupon mistake.  Only very few times a year do retailers live up to online price mistakes.

Actually what I think would be quite useful is if the checklist was done by year released.

Madoka, out of curiosity, how do you go about acquiring such a large number of figures? Getting my 36 took a bit of work. I went to the stores, bought several at a time and did a lot of trading. Also made sure I payed under retail for every one of them (sales and smart trades.) I'm curious as to how others build their armies.

If any of the figures I want sells online, then it's quite easy to order large amounts.  Anyone with money and willpower (or lack thereof) can do it.  Here in southern California, I saw maybe 2 DS gunners on the pegs.  When I visited the midwest, I was surprised to see about  a dozen in the three stores I visited. 


Back then the Dark Trooper was out, I was still in law school and didn't have that much money.  Now I'm looking forward to add to my collection:

Pic?

Even just a camera phone shot would suffice.

Here's a shot:

I'm now up to 96 of them.

What else do I need to know about you?  You're hiding figures hoping that they'll go to discount.  That's a selfish weasel thing to do.  You cheat others wanting to buy the figs and you cheat the store of it's rightful/expected profit.  In the long term, they may not order as much since they had to clearance out stuff, all so that you get cheaper figures. 

I don't care how many people think you're cool or what else you've done.  What you are doing by hiding these is unethical and borderline illegal. 

My local SWM got in like 6 cases of these a couple of days ago. I hid a large chunk of the scouts in hopes WM will lower their 10$ price tag soon.

You know, judging by your lack of principles, just stealing them would take less time.

EE has a case of just white troopers if you're looking to army build.  $300 or so but you're getting solid white so that's not bad when you break down the case actually.  I've considered it but never have $300 laying around to blow on the set.  God I'd love to though.

I'd love to order about 3 of those cases, yet I've searched EE in vain.  All I see is that they are out of stock on the $35 box of four.  Do you have a link?
