Super Freak
yup they probably canceled a few orders that ordered 10 lol.
Great! One from BBTS and two from SS. Make me some $$ IM!
Dude, you're stupid. Sorry.
I'm amazed that a NRD for $25 holds people back from a collectible that costs $250.00. Not that I don't see anything wrong with it, I just find it surprising.
I guess maybe it shows for me how non-committal people are about the lines they collect.
Dude, you're stupid. Sorry.
Because production pieces may end up with QC issues or end up completely different. Losing $25 on that is still losing money.
No thing to be sorry about friend. But I'm not.
If you only knew how many of the "super freaks" around here with 50,000+ posts flip the hell out of these things you'd be surprised.
At least I'm honest about it. IM sells a lot. Why? No idea. It helps me pay for other figures I actually like, and there's nothing wrong with that in my book. It's all about this hobby for me.
If only that BD mark VII ha come out sooner, I would've easily pay my 89 Batmobile with it.
Hell it helps to pay for my other stuff so why not?
Because it ****s over someone else in the process. And the whole "the-buyer-got-what-she-wanted-so-what's-the-problem" argument doesn't fly because it doesn't take into account the fact that no one actively enjoys paying ridiculous aftermarket prices for anything. Buying from a scalper is a last resort; one does not do so with a smile. And even if a buyer welcomes being taken advantage of (which is irrefutably what it is: being taken advantage of), the seller ought not indulge the person's desperation on the basis that, at the end of the day, you're still taking advantage of her.
If an item means so little to you that you only view it as its monetary sum, then the item is wasted on you, for you don't deserve it. And the person who does, indeed, love the item for the narrative it speaks to her does not deserve to be screwed over to enjoy that story. Rarely is there honor amongst thieves; most often there is only theft. I did happen across a Robin Hood within this hobby once a few years ago, but even in that circumstance, the person did not enjoy the process, for he clearly understood that he was preying on strangers' addictions to these material goods. But his mission was to fund the medical treatment of a degenerating friend, so the benefit vastly outweighed the morality of the means. There seem to be far more cases that are significantly less noble.

People should pre-order in time. Don't tell me you don't have $25.
If you don't, then find another hobby.
As I said, this IM crazy fan base helps me pay for my HT DC addiction.
In fact, two days ago I placed my mark VII exclusive on ebay, and I shared the links here with fellow board members.
You should see some of the PM'a I was getting. People offering up to THREE figures to trade.
One wanted to give me a sealed, freaking IRON MONGER and a Barney Rose.
If that's a normal behavior with IM fans, then I'm up for it. Will keep buying and sell them later.
I have to agree with others. Its a ****ty attitude.
Even if people do this, good luck to them, but its one thing to do it behind the scenes, and its another thing to blurt it out and gloat about it, which is what your doing, it really does make you look bad, and it does tick a lot of people off.
the market is the market. some people get caught up. i almost did with the MVII BD but came to my senses. just not worth it.
