At least you got a refund fast, Sub. That's one plus.

Think I'll buy one now at the 59.99 price...

...Kidding!!!! That's the equivalent of running my Landspeeder at full censored into the smoking remains of the sandcrawler... :lol:

Okay, off topic a bit but how the hell does two kids so strong with the force not realise something is dodgy? Surely they'd be a disturbance in the force or some midichlorian alarm thing going off or something, surely?! :lol:
