But, to make things more public, I went and tweeted about it and posted on Facebook. Luckily, though, this caught the attention of the Twitter-maven at ThinkGeek. I and my girlfriend (now publicly known as KellyFireangel) were instantly assured that the matter was being looked into.
And, I thought that that's as far as it would go - but they actually got back to Kelly fairly quickly (several days ago; apologies to ThinkGeek). She was also given a substantial credit for her troubles. But the main thing is, I love drooling over their toys. Boycotting them would have been a real bummer.
It's also nice to believe that business doesn't have to be like it has been in the past (80's & on that is), that hipsters can make a difference in very basic ways. What I'm really trying to say is, I'm sorry for the invective and hyperbole, ThinkGeek. I was a little raw from Xmas and honestly never expected them to make good on the gaffe.
I'm happy to say that I was wrong. ThinkGeek is alright by me.
And now, dear readers, here is my shopping list:
Love your geek...
