Uneducated collector arguing MP Starscream is not going to be in the US

Postby gunman_sr5 » Wed Oct 31, 2007 2:23 am

I just ran into a guy at Walmart that wanted to argue with me that the first MP Jet to come to the US will be Skywarp. His reasoning is Hasbro stated it. Wtf? Hasbro has posting for Screamer in November, and sightings are all over TFW2005. Not to mention a couple of my friends in Houston have found them. Even with this reasoning the guy still swore that Skywarp would be the first and that we are not getting Starscream. I had to walk away and let him talk to himself.

Why are you even suprised? I mean, look at the majority that make up walmart shoppers. They arent very um.......well.......uhh....."all there" or uh....."finacially well". Especially if its a 24 hour walmart.

I have a friend that works security there. Man he has some stories to tell lol.

Surprising. Even though no such statement has ever been made why do people feel the need to lie like that? Perhaps they just don't like to be wrong. Come to think of it that is a pretty common complex, especially amongst us men.

It is best to point him to where the MP SS is displayed instead. Make him eat his own words.

Thats what started it sorta. The lack of Starscream. A coworker of mine that collects as well was with me. He asked if I saw anything I wanted. I said nope no MP Starscream so nothing. This guy overheard that and started his according to hasbro.com rant... Soon after I just walked away with him talking to himself leaving him in his own little world.

Fans are a scourge.

Uneducated fans are a plague.

This guy, he's worse than both because he's not willing to listen to reason and people like that need their kneecaps smashed in. While they're on the ground, it's time to ask again about the item at hand. You'd be surprised how many people will agree with you.

Dunno if it's the blood, or the pain, or both, but it sure works.

:D :P

People suck, whether it's in the Wal Mart or in the college....morons not only live in the trailer park, but they do inhabit mansions and drive uber-expensive, gas-sucking SUVs too....and I would argue the fact that those "of questionable means" shop at Wal Mart....I am alright financially and I shop there...just not for toys though...Wal Mart kinda sucks in that department..oh yeah, and I won't buy music or movies there either
