I just happened to record my first episode of CBM, and it was the Defiant episode. I always see the trailers at the end of my Walking Dead recordings and am like wtf is that? So I recorded it to check it out.
I was pretty turned off from the show by their treatment of the Defiant. He didn't want to spoil his countertop... that was annoying and condescending. And then offering $100, and making it clear that none of them even had any interest except Ming. The attitude on display was pretty reprehensible. Won't be recording again next week. Seemed like a bunch of jerks to me. |

They rereleased fortress maximus...why not trypticon at some point? I would bet on it unless something happened to the mold or something that I'm unaware of.

Ming is definitely chill, glad he was interested. I would have flipped out at 100!

dude, some of the parts ALONE are worth $100.
$600 for a Defiant (near complete) is a good deal.

Some of you need to remember, these guys run a comic book store--emphasis on comic book. They might not know about an expensive, later-year GI Joe toy. (Was the Defiant ever in the cartoon? Don't think so, buddy.) Ask them a question about comics history, though, and they'll school you.
Also, like OP says, often when someone with a cool thing shows up on a show like this, it's not to try and actually sell their item, but to have a cool item appear on the show (giving them content) and to get to be on TV for a few minutes. Pat the NES Punk was on Pawn Stars once with his Nintendo World Championships carts (worth a dozen grand each on a bad day) with no intention to actually sell them, but the producers of the show thought it'd be neat to have on the show. As for Walt acting kinda douchey...well, I don't watch the show for him. (I like Bryan though, probably because I relate to him.) |
