Not all of us are satisfied Vareika. I'm about to go on a rampage in 2 days.

Haha yah...many of us little creatures (non VIPs) have lower odds...that's why I keep asking, can we still achieve VIP status? I've literally spent just shy of $2000 across Anton, Vince, and Jules H+C, and Bill, Doc, Dude headsculpts. Not sure if there is still a cutoff or if new VIPs are even handed out.

Title... The Siren Song of RM?

Haha nice
 
I know I have been away from here but I would like to see what the interest would be for the slide and gun for people that missed the DX.
 
Did you score anything tonight?

Not a thing. And I was really gunning for that DX too. A VIP offered me a full set of Driver, but I'm going to hold off until the H&C clears up. I just can't spend another $1000 on Rainman under someone else's account lol or I'll never hit VIP.
 
Congrats to Transhi, Greeny, Mystole and everyone who scored and a bigger congrats to all those who got exactly what they were gunning for.

Especially you Darthy; I know you've been having some bad luck and striking out lately. You were due bro! :yess:


Sorry to all you guys that missed out. It always sucks to hear. This one was a toughey :(



You and the rest of the mob. You were lucky to get that.

Though the arm slide is pretty sweet. Funny how some fullset accessories are a lot more important than others.

I'm INCREDIBLY lucky to get that!! This was a frigin' bloodbath. I must have a gaurdian angel :banana

As far as FS items go, to me this is the most important one he ever made.


Something is better than nothing :). There is also the chance that someone doesn't pay.

Definitely! And you did tell me so :hi5:


Yes, lots of flippers and posers.

I don't want to even get into all the hedging bet and security set talk now but I think going forward some stricter rules should be set.

I'm giving people the benefit of the doubt that it's not about flipping. I'd be shocked if people were shelling out this kind of dough with the sole purpose of flipping it. We'll see the usual; some people will own this for 3 weeks, 3 months, whatever and then sell. But to shell out $870-$1400 to sit on a piece in hopes to make a profit later.... IDK how worth it that'll be.

Really I'm just hoping that this kind of behavior isn't happening. I mean HT is one thing, but limited art figures???? Not cool




Damn Pop, I'm sorry to hear you missed out :(


All you dudes are the s__t :hi5:

Thanks Pop! Sorry you didn't get a DX but glad you at least got in on the DFS. I have a feeling everything will work out in the end. I'll keep an eye out for a DX set for you.
 
Content and satiated after their quarterly massacre and feeding of "the RM", the hideously disfigured beasts retire to their respective lairs, having absorbed the blood, sweat, and juices of their prey. Now bloated beyond recognition and grotesque to the core, these creatures prepare for their long dormant rest and ongoing scheming of ways to inflict maximum carnage to the next quarter's prey. Meanwhile, from beneath the rocks, lesser shadows emerge, eagerly and anxiously picking away at the remaining skulls and skin of they massacred RMs, while all the time watching their backs for the sudden return of the ever-so-hungry maniacs, hoping that they themselves may be fast enough to scrounge up a RM feast from the scrappy remains, and thus one day becoming worthy of their greater kin.

:rotfl :rotfl :rotfl

The rest shall not be long. Our thurst is unquenchable. See you on the 29th :nazgul :orc :uruk-hai :balrog :devil


Yep. Im covered.

:hi5: Good to hear. Had me worried there. I know you're quiet but not that quiet

I think that you'd have a HUGE interest list for a slider. All those who missed out plus I'm sure a fair share of dudes who weren’t going DX anyway....
 
Pop,

Since you got the full set soldier, if Robbie does the gun slide, it will be like a DX. Not too shabby.
 
Pop, I think I complain about flippers a lot but I do realize most folks here are decent and cool.

I would definitely love to see stricter rules, but I don't think it will happen. People selling off their "limited art" in 3 weeks for the most part, probably didn't really like the character that much to begin with and either got caught up in the hype.

Unless we are talking about very poor release with bad accessories and questionable likeliness, there is virtually no doubt that these will fetch a 10-20% price increase during the first month and it only increases over time. Either way, there is almost nothing to lose and if one is content at selling it near original prices, they also get called a saint, when in reality, they probably should have left it for someone who would have loved the figure more.

Anyways, just rambling at this point. Who am I to tell people they can't flip or they can't buy something they are "slightly interested in". At the same time, there is no such thing as so and so deserves a figure more "because he likes the character more" since in life it just doesn't work that way.

Anyways, just explaining why I hate flippers (intentional flippers at least)...

Here's to hoping I can get a H+C set on Thursday. And if I fail, I know its not 100% because too many flippers or "semi interested" buyers took the available sets, but I know they do contribute to me not getting one.
