i succumbed to the dark side and became a jerk! yes, i openly admit that i made a mistake. here's the long story. my good friend who shall remain anonymous asked me a favor that if i should win an extra 5pack to sell it to him at cost. no problem. what are friends for, right?
btw, i also entered him in the raffle since he hardly has net access during the day. well, he lost and i won an extra set. ... then i changed my mind for reasons i won't get into here. [insert boos and hisses]
so the day after he finally found out he lost he called me about it. i knew he was excited because he hardly won any raffles except for Cody and the Spirit of Yoda. lol.
i "painted him a picture". i said pretend you are Lando and i am Vader in ESB. he immediately got my point and i felt a long silence over the phone.
like the good friend he is he told me he understood and that he couldn't get mad at me. however, i told him that i would give him something. i remembered i had an extra Gree bust in my closet so i offered that to him. guess what? the next day when i went looking for it i totally forgot that i had already traded it for a Bacara bust from a forum member here! oh man, i felt really bad at this point! well, long story short. by this time i wasn't looking too good. i decided to give him a combined early Christmas/"consolation gift".
2 factory sealed busts: Shocktrooper and Darth Malak busts, a Blu ray disc of every Pixar Short, and two passes to Disneyland or Disneyworld.
btw, we're still friends!
