[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 5750120, member: 14159"] The only gaming product I have ever returned was a Battletech box set back in the 90's. The pictures and descriptions on the back of the box had a big picture of the contents and implied it had multiple big board-game type maps, plastic minis for the mechs, a lot of dice, and lots of documentation for the rules. The box set itself had a handful of fold-up counters, one small poster map, a couple of dice, and a small booklet of rules. The picture on the back didn't even seem to depict the contents of the box, and the description of the contents was very vague to say the least. I felt like I'd been ripped off, especially given that IIRC my FLGS charged a decent sum for it. I took it back to the store and demanded a refund. At first they refused, and I tried to explain it, only for them to say I was being unreasonable in what I was expecting from the box. So, I show him the pictures of the setup on the back of the box, and ask him where the miniatures and fistful of dice and huge maps shown were. He, very grumpily, takes the box back and gives me my money. If it wasn't the only FLGS I had access to at the time, it would have been my last time shopping there given how reluctant he was to take a return. I still couldn't believe a product could be that misleading about its contents. [/QUOTE]
