OFFICIAL SPOOKTACULAR 2010 Thread!

[RoboDad]

I'm not really too fond of the piece ...

Me neither. During the first few minutes it was up, I was thinking that it might have been worth it if reward points were allowed, but since they weren't at that time, I'd pass. But later, after the initial "new product" rush had faded, and the "no reward points" policy had been lifted, I looked at it much more critically, and decided to pass anyway.

I'm sure they'll be giving it away next year during Spook, and I'm sure I'll lose any contests where it is the prize, so I'm fine living without it.

2010, the Spook of discontent.

Let me just say that this is the first time I've taken time off from work for Spook, and sadly, it will also be the last.

2010, the Spook of discontent.

I'm having fun, just not like the past two years. At least my two orders are contenting me...

I'm having fun, just not like the past two years.

I'm still (mostly) having fun talking to people here, and there are a few fun moments in the chat, but that's about it. Most of the chat is consumed by too many people trying to post too much to quickly, so it flies off the screen before it can be read.

And the contests are doing nothing but frustrate and annoy me.

At least my two orders are contenting me...

Which two?

I'm having fun, but it still sucks to not win ANYTHING.

It has been fun, just not quite as fun as I've grown accustomed to. This only being my third Spook I'm really starting to think the best of times are now a thing of the past.

Pulled the trigger on Vampirella exclusive and could not resist the Gollum.

I've had alot of fun also even if I am on the losers list still...

 

[FLOSI]

I'm done looking at the same Fantastic Four items over and over... F-it.

Just thought I'd help out some other people.

I've got a better idea if you want to help. Keep doing what you do, but next time you chat, log in as "karamazov80"

Then send me a PM for shipping address.

10,000 posts! Embarrassing

I'm getting these myself... This means we're geeks, right?

I think its gotten a little too "out of our hands" with the thousands of outsiders who are flocking on to win stuff who we will never hear from again. Its like when a local band hits it big and goes from you being able to see them for $10 with 50 people to now you have to shell out $100 and sit with 10,000 other fans.

I have no interest in displaying a bunch of 1:2 decapitated heads and absolutely no desire to support a Dead line outside of the 12" figures. That interest was killed by two things; the PZ PF bull____ and the fact that they dropped the 1:6 to do polystone stuff.

That said, maybe this is a sign for us to spend more times with our families and let those who don't have them, enjoy Spook. Tonight's a good example. I don't give a ____ what goes up tonight from 9-9:30. Nothing's coming between my daughter and I watching Clone Wars together. It'll be less support from us old timers as the spooks continue, but with all the douchiness in chat which just isn't fun anymore (an no, it's got nothing to do with me not winning anything), and the expansion into more modern venues, it looks like they're embracing the "gimme gimme" crowd anyway.

anyone find that stupid work yet?

Gollum was a must buy, but Vampirella was too soft-core porn for my taste. I might have considered it if it had looked like the photoshopped version. But as it is, no.

Giving up for now, will look later if I find out its a SH word.
