I like the last part of the admin's comments:
What previous feedback? Feedback of your employees? The select few that have the time and money to go to the Con despite the sub being for all members? The part about actual orders based on the previews to date is irrelevant. I don't think most people ordered a sub because they wanted NCL period...never mind this version. They'll say whatever to fit their own stubborn mindset. I fixed my NCL and salvaged it. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ml#post4829237 Nothing has changed, and never will. |

That kinda comment only works if the figures were sold individually. I know everyone is different and is interested in different characters, etc...but c'mon, NCL was one of the least desirable and even more so in that color scheme.
For me personally, I really wanted: -All the NF figures in their ARAH colors -Crimson Guard Immortal -Big Ben -Slice -(Frostbite...pending lol) I didn't care for: -Vypra -Alpine -Bombstrike -NCL

It doesn't matter if it works or not, that's the party line. They continue to sell X numbers to their captive market, and because it sells, it is therefore good. QED

Dammit, spoiler tags, you fiend!
Actually, if I had to guess, I would fall back on two stand-bys of humanity: Because That's How it was Done Before, and Because Money. Back in the day, Dale got sacked, Lake-town got urfed. The survivors needed a place to continue not dying. Dale was right next door to a dragon, Lake-town was Generally Recognized As Safe after a bit, and as a bonus Lake-town had those handy trade routes right there waiting to be taken up again. So they rebuilt Waterworld and for a while everything was pretty good, aside from the damp. Then hobbits, dwarves, and re-burnination. Damn hobbitses. |

Actually building a town on a Lake when dragonfire is a threat is..sort of brilliant. Sure he can burn the town to the ground but it makes evacuation and fire control much easier. As for the notion that they should've just packed up and left, well...maybe, but if you know the map of Middle-Earth, they had no good options for where to go. To go West and get to Bree and the surrounding area they'd have to cross the Misty Mountains; likely a certain death. To get south to Rohan or Gondor beyond it they have to cross a pretty big wilderness while squeezed by the mountains on one side and Mirkwood on the other. They wouldn't have been allowed to settle around Beorn, he'd have chased them off.
So really staying put, and building a town on a lake? Probably their best option for survival of most of the population.

In other news...I clicked "ship now" on a Pile of Loot from BBTS last Tuesday. It is still not on a truck. Not super thrilled.

Of course it's not on a truck. You hit "ship." Therefore, your package is on a lake. Moderately safe from dragons.
