    IM in the process also.  Once in the past they credited me fair market value for the destruction of the book.

    I disagree.  The barge situation is SIGNIFICANTLY different than the way concert or sporting event tickets are sold. As someone who goes to an unreasonable amount of shows I will explain. 
    Every show I've been to this year or will be going to this has been a sellout at MSG or is already sold out.  Since NYE, Phish, Billy Joel, Zac Brown, Buffett, and Elton John have all sold out at their respective venues. MSG supposedly seats 20,789 +/- depending on the show or event. Most likely, because we are spoiled, Phish will do another four night run at MSG for NYE this year.  That means that there are roughly 80,000 tickets available.  Trust me when I say that there are still more people that would like to go.   However, there are only four nights and that is it.  Despite demand they are not adding shows. It is limited. 
    The barge was made to order.  I think the final order was around 8,000 (?). Believe me, if Hasbro took 12,000 preorders they would have happily shipped 12,000. If 15,000 they would have added another 3,000.   The barge was unlimited and they would have made as many as people wanted so long as they were willing to pay.   People complaining about the barge and did not get it fall under two categories:
    They did not have the money at the time They passed and then later regretted it.  This barge was on TV in the news, it had stories written about it on major websites as well as it being talked about on almost ALL toy sites.  There were Lego sites talking about what Hasbro did.   The information was there.

    Also how many of those 9.6 have been resubbed multiple times and not taken out of census?  9.8 is probably the best indication as few people i hope resubmit 9.8

    You didn't 'miss out' on the Walking Dead. You're a newly arrived wannabe speculator who gives zero damns about the actual medium or its products. Very big difference between that a genuine fan. What you mean is that you missed out on it cheap, which is a whole different kettle of fish, one that also involves the foresight of knowing it will be big, which you definitely don't have.
