I really need to get around to getting a Redcard.
As a standard rule, every year or two, I figure my actively used cards will be compromised somehow. I use BofA who has a no liability policy, I also have multiple accounts and replace my cards every year or every other year, depending on how much I use them.
If you refuse to do business with everyone who has a data breach, within a few years, you'll have no one to do business with.
I noticed the Target sale today and almost went for a couple more Elronds as that is a lovely set. Already own two of them. Exercised some restraint and instead replaced my misplaced Canon 16MP point and shoot with a red one with wifi (A3500) for only 50us at Target. Best deal in the entire store if you ask me.
Target still has better service, selection, store layouts, markdowns and cleanliness than WM and TRU, so I will still shop there. And I hate to see their employees get laid off because sales are down. They had nothing to do with the data breach and badly need their jobs in this weak economy.
Similar thing happened to me with Xbox and Playstation. There was an EA hack and someone got a hold of my information and bought a bunch of games on Xbox Live. I wasn't responsible for it and luckily wasn't liable. Same with the PSN hack. Lesson learned, now I no longer have my credit card attached to a console and only use point cards purchased at stores.
If worst comes to worst and every store I ever buy from has a breach of security that I am informed about, as annoying as it would be, I would adjust and pay cash for everything (outside of bills). I applaud your method of card replacement but I personally feel that we shouldn't have to play '3 card monty' with our cards every other year to feel safe. These companies need to put in the time and money to make sure their confidential data stays confidential or they won't be around much longer.
One thing I used to love with my Bank Of America MasterCard was the possibility to generate virtual CC numbers for online transaction, you could set the dollar limit, the expiration date and even delete it. That was a great feature (Unfortunately the organization for that CC moved to Barclay where that feature is not available).
I shopped at Target during the breach, I always paid with my Red Card, so any unauthorized use is limited, just more worried about the other data stolen...
As much as I'm a fan, LOTR is one of the "no, I'm not building/collecting/displaying the sets, but I'll get the minifigs" themes for me. You have to draw the line somewhere right? Personally, I use this set (two of them merged actually) to display the Fellowship. It's a lovely set really, both for the architecture and the colors. It's terribly worth it for this price.
In regards to this particular deal all my copies have been "delayed" will see if they actually ship.
Also saw #75005 at $40.98 (I think) and many clearance tag on empty shelves, so not sure what was there.
