Okay, so 12 pages worth of talk back today and not a single image from this series has floated out into the ether!? What gives, Hasbro?

Oh, and Echo, I completely agree with your stance that action figure collecting shouldn't be just we adults- especially where Joes are concerned. With superior financial ability via our disposeable incomes, more time on our hands than most kids (oddly enough), and the ability to hit as many stores as we want w/out pissing off an adult kind enough to drive us around town, we very powerfully dwarf most kids who may want to 'help' us with this hobby. I realize few of you will truly empathize with Echo and I in our plight "for the children", but I think that speaks more to maturity and feeling for others than anything else.

We all want these figures folks. Let's just not forget that others besides ourselves and our desires exist. End soapbox rant...

Dave Thomas founder of Wendy's was an orphan. Just to add something to the offshoot discussion.

I'm also excited about Spirit. I'll be one step closer to recreating the Predator cast from 25th Joes... Come on Frag Viper...

That's so powerful and moving... especially after you were so quick to share when you first found two Crimson Guards back in December...

Oh, wait.

Good luck with your "plight", and please keep the phony sentiments coming throughout all of 2008. I need the laughs.

Ah, lovely. I appreciate the sentiments, Compulsive. You're a true boon to your species.

Yeah, I'm wondering if something will show up tomorrow? I guess hoping more than wondering, but still...

Okay, there's that "maturity" of which you were speaking. At the very least, my sentiments are sincere.

[Irid70]

So, should those of us with good job prospects, that we acquired via our own time, talent, training, experience, etc., go ahead and let someone else have a job we want because of our maturity? Should we redistribute all of our wealth to make sure 'everyone has a chance at it?' I should let someone have the use of my apartment, say, 2 nights a week?

No? Why not? Right. Because we're not Communists. And all this "leave toys for the children/other collectors/ME!!" stuff is just Socialism on a very specific, very small scale. Period. First come, first serve. Capitalism.

And before someone goes there, yes, I do donate to causes, and volunteer when I have the chance, for things I think are worthwhile. Including tossing 25th Anniversary and Star Wars Ultimate Galactic Hunt figures into Toys for Tots bins, which I know plenty of other people on the boards did, too.

you know that's what I like about you. There is no pretending at all. Please take this as a compliment just as it is intended but you are a pure jerk and do not make any bones about it. We know exactly where we stand with you and it is refreshing. No pretending or anything. What you see is what you get. I just wish more people were like that. Your pretty cool in my book.
