Rather harsh rules I admit, but anything to prevent scalping I guess. This also means I won't get one even if I wanted to...

I may get him if I can afford to. So many others to buy this month that I want more, though, so we'll see.

They could have avoided all this by a simple "1 per member for the first week, then everything else goes to the store" rule.

Hopefully theu will look at implementing something similar next year.

Although (begrudgingly) in their defence, I think the repsonse to this one was pretty overwhelming. Common sense however would dictate that if you are going to release a "CHUG" G1 Character that isn't available anywhere elase, you're onto a winner.
