The complaints about Rey in The Force Awakens are stupid

For nearly a year I've been hearing people complain about Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the number one complaint is that she's able to use The Force without any training. Let me now explain why this complaint is unwarranted and stupid.

Let us remember that Luke Skywalker only received limited training from Obi-Wan Kenobi while aboard the Millennium Falcon, and it was mostly just using the lightsaber. Yet he was able to tap into The Force in order to target the exhaust port on the first Death Star, and also to retrieve his lightsaber in the Wampa cave.

Let us also remember that Anakin Skywalker, as a child, was able to tap into The Force to see things before they happened, thus allowing him to be the only human to compete in Podracing. His Force abilities let him win the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine, thus securing his freedom from Watto.

Then there's Leia Organa. Choosing to stay in politics, and presumably never trained by her brother, she was still able to tap into The Force to sense that Han Solo was murdered on Starkiller Base.

So there have been multiple examples of people using The Force without being trained. Training just lets you master those skills, but they are always there; it just depends on how many Midi-chloroxian you have.

Don't buy from Pro Impact Boxing on Amazon

Pro Impact Boxing sells used items under the label of new. Do not fall for this scam. I recently purchased an item from this 3rd party seller on Amazon and it arrived open, with the figure inside upside-down, a chip taken out of it, and accessories missing. The seller clearly bought the item just for the accessory inside, then threw the figure back in the box in a sloppy rush to resell it; but as a "new" item so they can get the full price for it.

This is a Public Service Announcement for anyone thinking of buying anything from this seller, DO NOT BUY. Instead look for the item from another seller, or even another website.

Luckily I was able to get a refund from Amazon, and I re-ordered from a different seller. But this is something that should never have happened. If Pro Impact Boxing had any morals at all, they would have listed the item properly; as a used item with accessories missing. But they didn't, because they are unethical and just looking to rip people off.

Toys R Us cancelled my order for the dumbest reason possible

Rather than cancelling because there wasn't any in stock (there's plenty in stock), they cancelled because, as they put it:

Despite our best efforts, your item(s) will not be available in time for delivery before December 25, and as a result, your order has been cancelled.
Who cares if it comes a little later, I grabbed the order during a sale and now I won't get the sale price. I think the real reason Toys R Us did this, is because they are a greedy company that wants me to re-order with them at full retail price. But jokes on them, I'll just get the items elsewhere. No where in the ordering process did I say it was a gift, and it's not, I ordered something for myself, yet they used Christmas as an excuse to cancel my order.

Here's a Public Service Announcement for you, if you want to shop with Toys R Us do NOT do it online. This isn't the first online issue I've had with Toys R Us. If you want to shop with this company, I recommend doing it in person in their store. If you prefer shopping online, do it elsewhere.
