I look at it this way; we're lucky to get ahold of such a code to use in the first place. If you think about it, those codes aren't really meant for us, they're meant for friends and family of Hasbro employees, so in a way, we're abusing a privilege that isn't meant for us in the first place. With all the complaining, there is a chance that these coupon codes might cease now.

These were sent out to everyone on the HTS mailing list.

Here is the coupon:

So, althis gibberish that I shouldn't use the code is nonsense. HTS sent it to everyone on the mailing list and encouraged those people to pass it on, and those people to pass it on.

So, all you need is a friend (like my many friends here at Jedi Defender) that is on a mialing list.

So, that coupon was never meant to be exclusive.

Hasbro, if you are reading this, then remember that sometimes it's better to take a small financial hit in order to have a good PR image. Sometimes, a bad PR incident can haunt you for a long time.

I honestly don't think they care.  I wrote a nasty email to them and it was reflected.  I'm not going to cancel my order with them as I'm sure I'll never see this Luke again be it online or anywhere else for that matter.  Might as well just suck up your pride and stick with your original order.

They don't care.

That's kindof the whole point.

Why should I spend Hundredsof dollars with this company year after year if they refuse to treat us with respect.

When I told them that I would not buy their product ever again, I was told "OK. Thank you for calling."

They don't give a rip. Not unless they see it in their bottom line.

Will my departure be seen in their bottom line. Nope.

But, I am happy with my decision to say "Screw it, I'm done".
