but the bullying outside of the custom threads is finally starting to take it's toll.
The avatar should tell you every thing you need to know bud. Unless you like conversing with walls?
I think we lose sight sometimes that this is just a hobby
The problem is people don't say, "Wow cool! Glad you scored an awesome figure!" and leave it be. They add, "Cape sucks, you gonna upgrade the cape?" or "Head's inaccurate. You need to hit up Adam for a screen accurate headsculpt!" IMHO, that's bull____. Let the collector enjoy their purchase and if they ask, offer it. Let them enjoy it and go open and close the door and slide the chain back and forth 44 times. It's bad enough we have to get force-fed the stuff by skipping over the OCD thread titles coming into the DC forum, but the bullying outside of the custom threads is finally starting to take it's toll.
I can see why it annoys you, people never being happy with their stuff. Though I don't agree with the bullying part, if anything, people are mentioning the "aftermarket" parts in goodwill I think. Helping out other collectors improve (or not, down to opinion) their stuff.
