So this is a woeful tale, I'm almost cringing writing it. I was at a Wal-Mart in Santa Clarita, CA (near LA) last night and stumbled upon my greatest discovery as a Galactic Heroes/SHS collector: the Jabba's Palace and Assault on Death Star playsets.
I was beyond excited, so my girlfriend and I went to check out.
As soon as they were scanned "SALE NOT ALLOWED" popped up. Long and painful story cut short, the manager confiscated the items from me and took them back to oblivion (after a lot of arguing.)
When i got home i remembered that these were target exclusives and I should have just did what another member of this forum did and self-checked out with another star wars item as the barcode.
I've been kicking myself since. However, over a wretched night of sleep I started thinking and realized this might be karma for a couple months back as a new member of this forum I saw a trade for a rare SHS Beast and Iceman two pack. In my naivety (and ignorance as a new member) I had no idea there was an existing list of people waiting and being the first to respond, I got the two pack.
It's no excuse for my ignorance, but hopefully everything has balanced out as I have received many angry, angry messages from members of this forum for my lack of respect and rudeness.
My apologies to all as it hurts oh so badly to almost have your hands on greatness and to have it ripped away.
