Oh my son has one of these! How do they go about refunds I wonder. I mean if you do not have the receipt. Won't they just give you the Easter sale price?

We've got one too. I no longer have the receipt, the eggs have been eaten and torch played with. Will coles take it back?

We brought one of these and it blew up my daughter was devastated because she is obsessed with torches. Very disappointed with the product.
