New 1:6th Star Wars figure from Original Trology

[The Josh]

You might not like it, but I'd like to see one person that ripped on the figure for choice or something say something nice about it. Won't happen. There are those of us that are realistic and know what SS is doing and theres others who completely freak over every announcement that isn't an armored figure. As I said else where, there is more to Star Wars than Vader, Troopers, Fett and armor.

BINGO!! Jeez, I don't understand how more people can't get this. I love all that SW has to offer just the same I do with LOTR.

Here we have the popular Sideshow Fanboy retort.

I should keep track of how much that lame ass statement is made.

I'm amazed, 3000 pieces and this figure already sold out.

Sideshow is really in trouble on this one. I am worried.

Someone hold me. Its lonely being a Sideshow Fanboy.

Apparently you've never read any of my other posts. Im not an apologist, I call em like I see em and state faults in the figures if I see them. I will not fault SS for putting out a tertiary character in an attempt to make money and keep the line going without blowing through all the main characters. The main reason for the delay on Vader? They want to put him on the new hybrid body.

That post was directed at Josh, not at you. Sorry for not making that clear.

All this behind us now, all I really want to know is... WHERE IS VADER?

For crying out loud, it's been 2 years already.

*pats pixletwin on the shoulder* that's all the affection I'll give haha, but I'm with ya bro, you know me, I'm here for the ride, full speed. Sideshow's been 12 years of collectibles dreaming come true for my Star Wars collection.

So, would it be a good time to start a Praji conga line?

Praji, Praji, Pra-ji!! :chew

It might make you feel better Pix.

Its true, not all Star Wars fans suck... I really am a huge Star Wars fan. I grew up on it and I have always loved and been interested in it. Sure it doesn't rule my life, but I know I think about it at some point everyday... whether posting here, looking at my collection or whatever.

However, I'm not a dick about it... and a lot of Star Wars fans are. That's what makes some of them suck. I haven't heard one actual complaint about the figure besides the choice. Yet, even that becomes a *****fest. If fans were at all aware of how SS markets their figures they would have known there wasn't an ice-cubes chance in hell we'd see Vader today.

But because they're timetable isn't being followed they spew all over the board and even post dumb stuff on SS site. Its rude and messed-up. That's why fans of Star Wars get a bad reputation, because some of them can act like a-*******s.

You're wrong. They *****ed about the likeness of a character whose name most of them didn't even know until now.

You mean like this little tantrum?

WHAT THE HELL!!!!!???? Where’s VADER, WHERES VADER, WHERES DARTH VADER, this is a lame excuse for a figure. How long before we get a DARTH VADER, it’s been TWO years since the line has begun, it way over due, I’ll say it one more time: WHERES VADER!!!!!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

See, I've said it before, negative remarks can be made and can lead a company to improve, but if you wrap a product thought in an immature wrapper, they're not going to open it up.

 

[galactiboy]

Oh... yep I forgot about that Jeez, it really is never ending

 

[galactiboy]

Wow, that is impressive... thanks, MaulFan, for destroying my faith in humanity

Hey, your a SW fan... why aren't you a jerk

 

[MaulFan]

I am a Jedi, like my father before me, lol. On a serious note, I'm not engrossed in the films, but I do look up to certain characters for their traits, and I like to be a keeper of the peace like Obi-Wan.

Here is my favorite tantrum of them all (this from RS):

Sorry but I don't give a flying ****! I have unvested money into this line and I am so sick of the bull****. I cut right down to just Sideshow and really tried to get my colecting money behind it and what to do I get in return. ****ing PrajjcJunt officer?? **** Criswell. He can jam his ****ing predictions up hi ****ing [censored]!

Ban if you will but Sideshow can ****ing blow me !

Those ****wits need to be refunding me every ****ing penny I every invested in their dog**** products!

Judging by the spelling, I think he was drunk posting, so he may feel better about it tomorrow.

Are you sure that's not chavez?

Like I said earlier,

Star Wars Collecting = Fan Expectation which leads to Fan Dissappointment and Fan Aggrivation

Non Star Wars Collecting = Fan Enjoyment

I don't know why this is, but bounce around the Freaks forum and you can see it.

You're not engrossed in the films? You could have fooled me!

But as far as SW fans go, you are far from being a jerk.

 

[pixletwin]

I noticed that. Fans who collect other lines (Marvel, LOTR, UniMonster, Highlander, what have you....) tend to be much more well informed and intelligent.

Thanks Batty. I define engrossed as the people that petitioned to have the government recognize Jedi as a religion, tax benefits or not, there is some insanity there as well, I'll let my friends shoot me dead before I let myself get to that point.
