Nerd rage at it's finest, gentlemen. United we stand!
Thank you to all who are searching for Walrusman. dgnr82 is looking too so don't forget him for all the hook ups he has done. Hey Squibbles, you can also check out the South Attleboro comic show at the Knight of Columbus hall. Next show is Nov 13. If you set up I'm come by and say hi. Tables were around $65 last time I recall. They get a decent turnout and if you price them right you could do alright. I don't see many Joes at that show.

You all sorely misunderstand. You see, although I just recently "officially" joined this forum, I have observed the sightings and eBay threads for quite some time. Being of one that is on the outside looking in, I must say the way some posters have treated a couple of other posters in the past few weeks is quite frankly deplorable. I witnessed a multi-poster gang up. It seems to me, the "regulars" on this thread promote treating others like proverbial crap. And remarks like "the hospital" that Air-Tight made, that sir reinforces my opinion of you, which was not very high before that comment. Comparing a toy to a potentially having a life threatening disease. That was a very disgusting remark. Karma always comes full circle, and the way certain members on this forum have acted ie: ShadowNinja, Air-Tight, etc..I will say it will come back to you all sooner or later. 10 fold. There are many people on here that "observe" and do not ever post. And while I will say, this thread is about "toys" I would expect men to act like "men" but apparently some things never change. From grade school to now, "children" will always have their little circles and anyone not accepted will be ganged up on, ridiculed and insulted.
I am making it my personal mission to hunt like no other, and scour this area and grab every single figure I know people are looking for, just so that it takes away from those people finding them. "Quote the Inmate, Nevermore" I can see where your first post may have read as "scalper", but it's nothing compared to how much extra stuff some people on here grab, cleaning out entire towns, be it for personal want or reselling. "This is why I only buy 1 and leave the rest for others." I fear if I said I bought a bunch of one figure, I'd probably be labeled a "scalper", but when others do it here, it's fine and welcomed. I don't get it. The way everyone jumped on you was...unwelcoming and extreme. You should have been given a chance to fit in. And the remarks made toward you went too far and seemed like they were said without any realization to their content. As far as welcomes go, what a fail. As for your vendetta, don't waste the time and effort, there's already a strong hold on the Joe market here. Plus, you would be doing others who don't care about the drama of this place an inconvenience by making it hard for them to even find something.

with that said, unless anyone else has something to add, can we stay on topic in this thread for more than a day? I'm not the be all, end all of the RI thread, but its for sightings, not bitching. /rant

I hope the holiday season brings a glutony of figures. Seeing 3 figures on a peg is pathetic. Even Star Wars, which is a huge line reduced to some peg warmers is disheartening. Too bad I don't want poorly articulated Green Lantern figures for $8 each. I find them by the truck load wherever I go.

Half the aisle is loaded with Dark of the Moon which hasn't sold at all this year. I mean seriously I haven't even seen a dent in the packages.

In this economy, I think the major retail selection will be slow, poor, and shelfwarmery. I have a feeling that the discount retailers will become the new place to frequetly shop for the waves of items the major stores will not carry or even reach. I'm hoping we see a flood of POC soon at the discounters.

At least if he buys all that stuff and wastes his money on a line he doesn't collect he can donate it to Toys for Tots.
Christmas always makes the figures come out at least for some places. Toys R Us begins to get a truck every night filled with goods in December. |

Right after they unload all that ROC backlog? The Marshalls in North Smithfield had pegs full of ROC about 2-3 weeks ago. I'm wishful that POC will show but not optimistic. I never saw wave 5 & 6 on the pegs, but I wasn't looking too hard because I ordered them online.
Anyone think NYCC will give us an update on PP Croc Master and Green Blowtorch? Or are they hanging thier hat on the 7-pack announcement? |
