I definitely feel where you're coming from. Unfortunately, I've become a total Lock Seed whore. So I'll have to try tracking everything down. It will probably be cheaper now than in the long run.

Warning: Rant ahead, feel free to skip this part everyone.

I'm not as peeved about having to spend the money as I am the fact we pre-paid and they didn't have enough on their credit card to pay for the order from Bandai. I understand they're a small business and mistakes happen, but when I was running Mom and Pop stores our suppliers wasted no time in telling us when our card was declined. At least when I get screwed at HLJ, they don't already have my money. I do appreciate that they've owned up to it and acknowledge the error was theirs. I think that says a lot about them and the fact they're a Japanese company. I don't doubt that, in the end, they're decent folks. Despite that, I don't know that I'm going to be as forgiving as some of their devoted Facebook and Twitter followers seem to be.

It's been a very frustrating morning, even on top of the CSToys fiasco.
