For all the comic fans out there, and action figure fans, these are some sweet looking figs.

But... I'm still a rookie? Does that mean I'm too new to even smell funny?

Off Topic / Re: Scalped! An Interview with the Enemy
« on: March 29, 2011, 12:31:35 AM »
here's my two bits. I don't have a problem with people looking to purchase something with goal of reselling it to make money. This is capitalism. I do have a problem with the arrogance of people who do it and mock collectors for lamenting the scalper. I think that part of the fun of collecting is the hunt. To be beaten to the goal by a guy purchasing the same item you were after is annoying, but hey, that's life. If scalpers wanna laugh at us about it, let'em. The problem is that there IS a market out there. Whether you wanna blame Hasbro (or any company) for low runs, crappy distribution, or just the sweetness of a specific mold or item, the fact remains that there are people that will still pay for this. Don't believe me, take a look at Evilbay and Craigslist. Supply and Demand. Since there is a demand for something, someone, somewhere will find a way to supply it. And if they make a profit, so much the better, for them. Its not right or fair, but neither is life. There is a certain sense of schadenfraude when scalpers buy up a bunch of stuff and have to dump for the same price they paid, or less, in order to move it. It does happen from time to time (karma, anyone?) But the bottom line is there is a demand, which will be filled. If we were all honorable (and by this, I mean, all mankind) this wouldn't be a problem. But alas, these are times where everyone is out for their own gratification.

Multiple Grails
Flagg, Terror Drome, completing my damaged Defiant as a launch vehicle for the Crusader, complete Defiant, Crusader, completing my incomplete MCC
other red flag items: a 3rd Defiant to be converted to Python scale, a Voltron Castle of Lions to be converted to a modern Silent Castle, the Star Wars Episode 1 Royal Starship as a Destro Aircraft.
Here's hoping I win the lottery someday

Very sad. I find it very sad that you wanted to bring a light hearted thread down by being negative.
Negativity was not intended. Sarcasm was. Not trying to bring anything down. I wish I could send some things to the factory, but money's tight

How sad is it that as soon as I saw the title to this thread I thought "there's goes Mike again with the chrome" Sorry I was wrong, Mike, but I knew I was right about the subject
