Angry Didn't buy the Clonetrooper.

Not yet, anyway.
Stopped at that comic shop, and they had jacked up the price $10.
So I asked if they would honor the price I was quoted.
The guy said he would have to ask the owner, but couldn't reach him by phone.
He offered to take down my name, number, and address. Then he could call, and they ship it. FREE shipping anywhere in Oregon. I got pissed. "Why didn't you or your boss tell me that on the phone?!?" They wouldn't hold it more than 24hrs for me to come up and get it, but could have taken my money and shipped it free. Freakin idiots! Instead jack the price up. Probably because I called several times asking different questions about the piece, and some other guy keeps telling them he'd buy it.

Stormtrooper question: How many different poses can you make with one since you get so many arms? I guess, How many would you have to buy to show all the arm poses??

Well, wife went in to get it today, and the thing is gone. Gone in 48hrs. Seems sorta fishy. Guy started some sales pitch to try back later, and my wife told him save is BS for someone else. I'm so proud of her.

There you go with all the phone calls again. You should have called once and then picked it up.

You need to learn to **** and then get off the pot. Just my 2 cents.
