By law, I think they have to honor the coupon and swallow the loss. Does anyone have legal knoweledge on this?

I highly highly doubt this - I can't remember what it was but there was another incident where something seemed way too good to be true and we were later told that it was an error in the listing and that it couldn't be honored.

Thanks, I ordered 2.

Who knows, maybe they won't even email me later and hold my order hostage for more money.

Weird... it sounds like they were able to buy the left-overs from GenCon and sell them online as long as they kept the price the same.

Regardless, that's a nice surprise for many folks I'm sure!

When I was at the show on Sunday, the posted a "no limit" sign on the Store doors.  I wonder what happened on Monday.

Ordered my Droids set from ToyRocket. Holy God, that's a fantastic deal. Now all I need to do is find Luke.

I have an extra Luke if you want it.

I thought about placing an order through Toy Rocket as well, but I wasn't sure what people were able to get at the show.  I'll probably wait and see what everyone has done there, because I'd hate for anyone to go through a lot of work picking a set (or two) up for me and not have anywhere for it to go.  At any rate, it is tempting to place an order, since they are actually at "normal" price.

If they do not honor the price, I'll cancel my order and make a stink.  I was already unsure about buying this sub-line anyway, so this might be enough to make up my mind once and for all.

Has anyone received an email about this yet? It's only 11 AM Central right now, but I was curious.

Not yet.  The person who reads my reply, if I do get one, probably won't forget it anytime soon.

it is extremely cheap of Hasbro to rescind the offer, after orders have been placed. They should incur the loss because they made the mistake.  Or at the very least, offer free shipping.   <hits with giant newspaper> Bad Hasbro.

I wonder the same thing if anyone has been contacted and if so, I as well as other I think would like to see it if possible.

I just checked the order status of the Lukes at HTS, and on my account it says they are on "backorder".  Who knows what that will mean for these.
