If you check UK Companies house you can see that Molecule8 just acquired Blitzway. Not sure whether that's good news or bad but whatever the case may be I'd imagine a further delay.

Do we have proof I can't seem to find anything to back this up

Would have made sense though why M8 initially showed themselves possessing a GB license.

I dont get why ppl think it's fun to post knowingly false info. Someone in the hulkbuster thread announced that the product was cancelled. It didnt go over well.

But apparently there is no policy on the same. So by not having a policy, you effectively *have* a policy which says this is ok.

I don't know why people don't fact check a statement made by a random person on the internet before they lose their ****. A person saying "Hulkbuster was cancelled" in a forum post is not the same as an announcement from HT (which would have been all over their website and FB--not to mention people would get a cancellation notice from wherever they ordered the figure). People talk out of their ***** on this forum all the time--doesn't mean you should believe any of it without doing your own due diligence.

Not to derail this thread, but if recent history is any indicator, then it should be pretty obvious that many people DON'T fact check. Adapting some psychological concepts related to the acceptance of fake news: first, when our brains process information, belief comes quickly and naturally and skepticism is slow and unnatural. So, basically, analyzing and fact checking is hard and we're wired to not jump to those actions when presented with information. An example of this would be people continuing to be duped on April Fools Day. Plenty of April Fools stories on the Internet are completely bonkers and are supposed to be obvious jokes on a day known for jokes, but there are tons of people who still believe them and just don't get the joke. Similarly, saying that Molecule8 acquired Blitzway, on its face, seems at least plausible enough to not be a joke, thus the likelihood that that statement would be more readily accepted as true (consistent with our brains being wired to believe and with 'plausibility' not immediately setting off our BS detectors).

Secondly, this is a community and a community is like a tribe. We all belong to this group and when people are part of a group there is a tendency to implicitly trust members of that group (i.e., 'tribalism').

Third, there are a number of people on these forums who actually have insider access and information, so it's possible that 'breaking news' for the collecting community will happen here. Despite that, there is nothing on the forums to differentiate those insiders who have actual, factual information from the randos who have none or are just making jokes.

I understand the psychology behind it, but that doesn't mean knee-jerk reactions to single statements with no further explanation aren't going to irritate me. The naivete of some people here is indicative of the widespread issue in society in general. "Somebody said it/I saw it on the internet so it must be true" has replaced any sort of common sense or independent thought. It's rare that anyone questions the source anymore or even takes a few seconds to do a google search for other confirmation. "Analyzing and fact-checking are hard" has become society's mantra, and it's infuriating. As for the "insiders" on this board, more often than not they are proved to be liars, and most people that have been around the board for awhile know the legit ones.

Is anyone planning to make some kind of diorama for these guys? I feel they deserve it but sadly don't have the skills required myself.

Perhaps he meant like the mainstream media.

That would be sweet. I'm sure someone has something up their sleeve. Lots of talented folks on here.

That's true. Something from the Waldorf Hotel or the rooftop scene at the end would be ideal. Even just a background would be cool.
