Sorry in advance for my mostly unrelated post. But when every PO goes up, we go through the same 10 pages of FREAKS COMPLAINTS, FREAKS BEING DEFENSIVE, FREAKS BEING UNRATIONAL, FREAKS BEING ILLOGICAL. Here is why I think it happens
I think HT collectors can MOSTLY fall into one of three categories.
1. - The Completest Fanboys. This is the fan of a particular license or licenses and they buy everything that HT produces. They rarely have a problem with price and hardly ever complain about anything. Except for those who complain about HT. They know the product is always perfect, but they are happy to get all they can of what they like.
2. The Majority HT Fan - This is probably the largest group here. They are both fans of some or fans of all licenses. The are both fan that can afford as much as they want and get what they want. And they are fan that can't afford everything, but mostly get what they want. These fan don't like everything that comes out but know these are great quality toys/collectibles. They occassionally complain, but its usually because they just want the best they can get.
3. The Wanna be Haters - this is the HT fan that can only occassionally afford an odd figure here and there. And they crap all over any and everything they can to make themselves feel better because they can get what they want and what. When something comes out they like, its priceless. When something comes out they don't like its worthless. Big time hypocrites and always disruptive.
Of course this is my opinion after a few years on this board ( I was just a backseat spectator for a year before I joined ). 95% of us can fit into one of these three categories. I'm sorry if you're in the 3rd group and are offended by any of this. But you bring plenty of unhappy moments to many people who fall into the other 2 categories. This forum is for 1/6 action figures and collectibles. And since it is a forum, everyone is entitled to post their opinions, just like I did here. But just like you're entitled to post your opinion, others are entitled to post theirs. I wish we could remember that this is a TOY/COLLECTIBLES forum and it should be lighted hearted. But some people go to far and take this to a personal level.
I am in the first category and am glad this went up for PO today. I ordered the EX the second Dave put the link up.
