You can't expect a store to give you a raincheck when you already got the sale price that same day. A raincheck is for when there is no remaining stock of the sale item before you walk in the store. At that point, you're attempting to game the system and by no means an innocent consumer tricked by a greedy, underhanded retailer.

Those are both very good points. I certainly was not expecting them to honor both, but at least honor one. As collector's toys, I shouldn't be tied to only what they have in the store at the time of the sale, especially if they haven't restocked in more than a month.

Maybe I'm too used to 'above average' customer service.
