Great story Chuck. You amaze me Warrick. Not only did you p*ss off the collectors who already paid a premium for the 1997 Barris release, but you have also managed to p*ss off dealers who waited for hours for your announced re-release.

It sounds like you cannot get the job done. You might consider getting your resume up-to-date, as it appears you are incapable of running the chip program at the Hard Rock. If you are going to re-release previously issued Hard Rock limited edition sets, the Hard Rock should just put the program to sleep.

Once the chips are released from detainment in Mexico, maybe future generations can have the sets argon dated to determine which chips were from the 1997 release and which were from your botched 2002 release.
