I think the LSD in someone's nick is taking over.

just getting an exchange so he can play with it. Well kid, i for one am happy you're mother is teaching you to be fiscally responsible.

Ok, you don't want to play nice. That's fine. Your loss.

One thing, though: the word you were looking for was very definitely not "contort."

Velcro: I presume you understood what I said. If you can explain it to this guy, and can be bothered, go for it. I'll content myself with responding to his increasingly incoherent PMs.

I guess walmart gets insurance for situations exactly like this and if accidents didn't happen than nobody would ever buy insurance to cover themselves.

Wal-Mart also insures itself against shoplifting. Is it okay then if I walk out without paying for a couple of items?

This is STILL going on?

*facepalm*

Oh, and anyone getting deja-vu from that swapping premiums thread?

yeah, I'm done with this thread. Sledge and Velcro have made the points, but it is easier for people to call other people high and mighty to make themselves feel better. And it is getting a bit hostile in here as we may be taking this a bit seriously. Knock yourselves out, see ya!

Hmmm...too bad you didn't save the first one and just switch the busted parts.

Broken Transformers make great kitbash fodder.

And given how some of the folks here have thrown money at a Sunstreaker, I'd be willing to bet someone would pay more than $10 for a slightly broken one...

If I buy something and it breaks -- for any reason -- I'm returning it to the store for an exchange. It broke, and I'm not as virtuous as you goody-two-shoes who willfully (or at least claim to) eat the cost of buying another...not when I still have a receipt. That's why they HAVE exchange policies.

So forgive me o lord, if I don't weep over Wal-mart's bottom line. Like, ever.

So if I buy something, step on it and it breaks then that's the manufacturers fault for not making an item that can withstand my weight on top of it?

The kid's mom dropped the toy, it broke. Let's say she dropped it and it was his windshield that cracked how is that QA's fault for not making a toy that won't break when it's dropped?

I bet you were the guy in front of me a couple weeks ago trying to return deodorant because it was white and left marks in his clothes. Nevermind he used half of it already.
