Oh yes we did this too! smile Once again it is apparent we have the same kid! I am broke now - two collectible bionicles (Vezon and Fenrack) LOL

I have found that 'some' testers really resist the breaks... They push the child, make you feel badly for trying to get breaks, etc. I have noticed (in my limited experience) it is usually when insurance is covering the cost...or maybe I just got so much more firm and assertive about and it was coincidence that the one I was paying out of pocket was more flexible and accomodating about breaks - not sure. But I realize now, I should have always been that pushy - really makes a difference, imho.
