It seems rather unethical to ask the users of the site to pay for a repalcement camera when you're making money out of their page view, an will make even more with each new gallery you snap with the camera they paid for. Surely the galleries should pay for themselves?
Sorry Ryan but I had to say something.

That's too bad that you feel that way, AK, but I understand your concerns. I generally have never asked for donations to the site because I have always paid for the servers and my Seibertron.com related trips out of the revenue generated from the site. This was an unplanned expense that occurred after a very expensive weekend in New York to provide the fans with galleries from Toy Fair and a news report about the Movie Preview. I think it's very kind that so many people have offered to help. My promise to all of you is that I will continue making kick ass galleries as soon as possible thanks to their support and will continue to provide galleries of some of the figures that I've been getting a lot of requests for. The donations are purely voluntary and are truly appreciated.

Thats cold, he isn't asking for him, he's doing this for US!
I'm in advertising photography, and especialy with display items, that screen is priceless. One small nudge to the camera looking into the veiwfinder can ruin a shot that took forever to set up and light even if your using a tripod.
If you can't help, thats fine, I wish I could do more myself, but this is the Man's art that he shares with us for nothing, he knows what tools he needs.
Dude take a pill. I wasn't trying to be a jerk or anything, just wanted to know if there was other options until he could buy another one. Given the pictures he took, yeah something is definitely messed up with the inside mechanisms. No point in getting it repaired either. Just go and get a FujiFilm SLR camera. Those are sweet.
Hey no offense taken. I'm sure there's something I can do with the old camera but for the sake of time and money, I'd rather just move on and get a new camera so that we don't miss a beat. I'm on a business trip right now in Michigan so I can't do anything with the new galleries for the site until I get back to Chicago on Friday. When I get back to Chicago, I'll buy a new camera on Friday or Saturday. I think we'll be able to come up with the resources by then.

I have no official ties to Hasbro. At least, not that I know of. I just run a fan website.

That's not quite what I meant. Quite some time ago, we tried to give you donations for HMW, but it was you that stated you could not take donations as it would be some type of infringement with Hasbro, IIRC.
