Replying to 1080 error skis

Tell me what you think... my friend Rob got the new 1080s, and when he went to pick them up at our local shop, they had arrived with the graphics facing the same direction! Colin, the ski shop guy, phoned Salomon, and they said that they were incredibly rare. Colin already mounted them, thinking that Rob would be stoked about getting possibly the only skis around like that. Here's the part that I don't really understand- Rob told Colin to send them back and get regular ones. If that happened to me, I'd keep them for sure. But he wanted them to look normal, so as long as he's happy it's allright. has anyone heard of that before?
the great white north? where is that exactly? -seth

just take a right at the 4-ways, then over the yellow line. If the man with the red hat says anything to you, just tell him that dw sent you. The secret password is 'coo-loo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coooo'.-dw
