I will admit though, I have found it astonishing that there isn't more 'female representation' for this line......

Well everyone, before this goes any further, I think I should stress one point - EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion.
I respect Arashikage's stance and appreciate his passion. I think any of us would take offense if someone were talking about our profession and/or a co-worker/associate. That being said, KOP did also start a "what was great about the Con" thread, so I can't say that this thread was created solely to be a source of negativity. IMO, what was said (by Arashikage) was not necessary, but in the same breath, you have to respect the guy for speaking his mind. However, others have hit the nail on the head. Again, Customer Service is key. If I just spent hours of my life commuting to Georgia to spend my hard earned money, the least I expect in return is a bit of grace on the part of the staff involved in whatever venue I decided to attend. Since KOP had less than a top notch experience with a staffer, it's in his right to state so. ...... All that jazz being said....in hopes of getting things back on track in a positive way.... What I hate(d) about the Con is the fact that I couldn't attend, and now anything worth spending money on is nearly 10 x's the original price on the secondary market. |

yeah, I dont know if this was a bad thing or a good thing. On one hand, it was a good thing businesswise for The Collector's club. they will see that good figures are a good idea, and will sell, so they may get riskier with the 3 3/4 inch lines and give us what we want. (sorry 12 inchers, buy more 40th anniversary figures) on the other hand, it limits and Discourages some collectors (like the one griping about exclusive figures last week) and fuels the scalpers to justify selling a figure for 100 bucks. (although it isnt the scalpers fueling the prices, but the bidders on ebay stopping at nothing to get the figure) I Hope getting the exclusives will encourage more people to make the effort to go to these conventions (me and my friend just set up a "COnvention Fund" account, we put 10 or 20 bucks in each paycheck, so that next year, our registration and Hotel is covered up front.) I personally Love the convention and hope more people show up (that way it may grow so that companies like BBI, Lanard, Chap Mei, and Powerteam Elite may want in next year),so that the COnvention grows into an animal the likes of the Star Trek Conventions or the Comic Con (maybe not comic con, Too Big!), so dispite my gripes, I am going again next year. And the year after that, and the year after that! as for the staff member, Im taking it like Chancellor Gowron did in Star Trek DS-9: "You're like an Old Toothless Griznar Cat trying to scare me with your roar!" Utlimately I could care less, the fact that he was upset, must mean that I hit a nerve, or insulted him,.. either way ' THEY WERE LISTENING". maybe next year they will be mindfull of the mistakes they make ( mailing me a 12 inch figure instead of a 3 3/4, forgetting to put our screen names on the badges like they did at Botcon)

..................... All that jazz being said....in hopes of getting things back on track in a positive way.... .................... I couldn't agree more....and since C.I.A.D. has done such a good job, I don't feel the need to 'weigh in'.... Besides, if you want to really 'put it back on track', let's talk about what king and the others were talking about me!!!

one more thing that sucked.....
AFA at the convention This was a slap in the face of EVERYONE who are normal collectors who like to open up and play with their figures, They were actually grading and sealing up some of the piper figures AT THE CONVENTION (the reason why some of you non attendees are gonna pay 300 buck for these babies come christmas) this also fueled the greed of any dealer and scalper at the convention! Keeping toys out of the hands of children, and adults with child like hearts!

KOP, from what you said, the city the con was held in reminds me of Richmond. Like my professor once said at VCU, its not VCU that has all the crazy stuff, its all because its in Richmond.
Next con, we all have to find a free wireless spot maybe at a restaraunt, and tankers have to get a room and buy liquor before hand since its cheaper. |
