If I either: a) played the game, b) was going to a pre-release tournament, or c) posted all the info on the cards over the internet then I'd feel bad. However, since I'm merely collecting the e-Reader compatible cards, I don't think it's really a problem.
The only reason I really spoke with the manager/posted about it on this board is because I've made some good friends here *and* I see the effort put forward by the small box stores who are actually *supporting* the game and I feel it's wrong for any big box retailer to get such an unfair advantage. For my own, personal reasons, I could care less who gets them early and who doesn't - however, I'm trying to look beyond that here and be somewhat helpful.
Plus, I wanted to purchase the cards in order to see if there were any probelms going through the register with them. At Wal-Mart, on some of the releases, the register will not let you sell them until the release date (music, movies, etc...) and I didn't want to look like an *** if I spoke with the manager just to find out they wouldn't sell 'em anyway. Granted, that was a small part of the reason I bought them, but none the less...
I'm sorry if you're so offended by my actions. Next time, I'll just buy the cards and go home...
