Re: TFC Toys Project Uranus Blurred Image (Superion)

I don't see the big problem with the blurred images etc. I mean, of course we want to see actual clear prototype pics, but then people would complain that it's 'unfinished' or 'unpainted' etc.
This type of teaser advertising IS used all the time. I've seen car commercials where they preview a new car/model and don't show the car or just show a sillouette, I've seen movie trailers that don't show any footage from the movie, just dramatic music and (sometimes) a title.
This type of advertising is used all the time and generally they drop in just enough hints for you to know what the product is without giving away any real details on it, and that's exactly what these teasers we get from the third party vendors do. They give us just enough detail to know what the product is (TFC's take on Superion) without giving us any real details on their specific product.
It works, it creates buzz (3 pages of comments so far ) and it gives us a heads-up on what's coming in the future, which is especially useful for those who are interested but will need to save up the funds to get it.
