Bonger wrote:Flame, I completely sympathize with your situation. However, putting a silver lining on a dark cloud, atleast since they have been made, you might be able to get them at some point in the future when things stablize for you. Definately beats them not being made. (See Reissue Thrust and Ramjet).
However, like everyone else, I too would have preferred that hs set be cheaper, or better yet, on Target's shelves. I would imagine everyone agrees on that.
MagnusPrimal wrote:I have honestly never understood this sentiment. Why should I be glad that something I really wanted was made, but then priced far above the price I'm willing to pay, simply because it's an exclusive? How does that make sense for me?

You are to blind to not see this. I know most of the western world are going down the consumerist path but I find this incredably rediculas.
All most of us that are dispondent have said is we find this unfair and have given good reasons on the most part about how it would still have been practical for, if not a full release, a limited release of these figures.
We are a community of fans we have the right of freedom of speech in most of our Countries. More over this site is in a Country that that right is more important than any other, and for people to say thats life get over it and stop bitching is very offensive.

It's why we keep you around.
That and the pics you post are always fun.
Crumplezone wrote:When BotCon started the exclusives were a bonus for going now it is just about charging as much money as possibly for a few figures that you would normally buy for 10-20 dollars. It seems by this thread a lot of people cannot see that. Has the reason you should be going to BotCon slipped away in this bid to get a few figures? or does nothing that a convention stands for past you by?

In return we have had comments like stop whinning and get over it and don't be childish. Now whats more childish going to a convention just for a pack of toys or going to a convention for the reasons Conventions were started in the first place. I find comments like these to be very insulting. For a Mod to then quote that comment and to indorse it is rediculas.

Now I oppologise if I have offended anybody for my thoughts on what I think a convention is all about. I however feel that a certain Mod of long standing needs to look at how he portrays himself on these boards and if he needs to take this ferver I await his PM.

screw em. Go to the pub with mates and remember they are only lumps of plastic.
I might have fun learning how to kitbash properly anyway. And after I learn, the posibilities are endless!

Can't do that..
This thread is a news linked item, is on the front page and those are not supposed to be locked.
Please let's keep this civil alright?
