We must have peace in the Freaks community! We have to! I want everyone to celebrate with me on the birth of 4 beautiful new little spies for the Queen Beruthiel! And, they are all the correct color of Black! No more talk of nastiness allowed, it's time to celebrate new life! And, new spies for me to find out what is in your hearts and minds of course! muahahahahahaha :emperor

I never even knew that Kurgan was from "Highlander" until I came into this thread.
Don't feel bad I still don't know what a Kurgan is or what Highlander is about.
 
The DVD just arrived in the mail today from my Netflix queue. I guess I'll be finding out soon enough. ;)
 
JustinLuck, glad the dvd arrived JUSTINTIME. :cool:

Thought the Kurgan banners and Occulum's banner are great.................

How can you not love LOTRFan's signature banner:

This has to be up there with jesse's avatar.
 
:D Not until I receive my items that I have purchased from you. Then watch out, you are goin' down for the count.:lol In all seriousness, the preceeding statement was a joke and all in good fun.:rotfl I have no plans to Krusade against LOTRFan for any reason. Unless of course you send me junk.
 
Customikey, I'd recommend just doing what I do and put people with annoying avatars or sigs or who say annoying things on your Ignore List. That's what I do. But apparently this is a non-issue since the only replies to your first post have been from me and Sideshow Andy.... :naughty :D

Okay, I love this forum and the passion of it's members, but I'm getting very very tired of all the Kurganites and petitioners throwing their flashy, gaudy, huge-fonted, thrice double damned agendas in my face everytime they post! Really, this place is starting to feel like a political fundraiser, with the candidate's name and face plastered EVERYWHERE!!

Now, I live in Manhattan, so I'm no stranger to endless strings of advertising blasting in my face wherever I go, but I'd appreciate it deeply if everyone could just cut the rhetoric in half. I'm not asking that it all go away, but if everyone would turn off the blowhorn for Kurgan/Apes/New Bodies occassionally, I would be much oblidged.

Now, I'm either going to get flamed or a lot of people are going to agree with me. Most likely it will be an even mix of both. I want to open this for discussion, but I don't want to be divisive. As I said, I'm very fond of everyone here. It's a public forum and everyone has a right to say and do as they please. This isn't a command (I wouldn't presume), but it is a plea from a fellow fan. These things are important to me to. I'd love to see a Medieval Kurgan with a new body covered in finely tailored everything with a super-real yet finely painted portrait and multiple accessories in a box proclaiming the endurance of all our favorite lines.

I'm just very weary of the unending stream of flashy advertising. It's as bad as being in a site with a million sponsors plastered everywhere. It's just very overwhelming....

I just think your post (what you are actually presenting to the conversation) should be bigger than your signature (your gaudy advertisement).

Thanks. (runs for cover, hugging his poor head.)

Somehow I originally missed this post when it was first posted. I'm glad it circulated back to the top!

I have to say that I agree with everything that you said, and you won't hear me say that very often.

Honestly, I used to really enjoy visiting this site. Lately with all the spam type banners and all the moaning and bi**ching, about new figures before anything other than a preview shot has been posted, has started to wear on me. Due to this constant negativity I find myself checking in less and less and I really am starting to loose my interest in this board.

I think the funniest post that I have seen recently has to do with the "lets write down all the 12" figures we have and see who has the most." Followed closely by "lets write down exactly how much you spend on figures every month."

What the hell! Are you 3 friggin years old!

I was assuming that the "whoever dies with the most Sideshow figures" was tongue and cheek and really a way to talk about what 1/6 figures we collect. With only 4 posters so far its pretty cool to see the similarities and differences in our collections.

The whining can be a bit grating, but if it gets excessive I just skip forward a few posts until it clears up.
 
galactiboy, you mean you skip anything that is annoying or not to your likeing............huhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I never thought of that. Skipping those things that I do not like. I might try that. Thanks for the idea.

Novel concept I know.
 
I don't understand why this comment was made.

I enjoy talking about my figures, Thats why I am here and
to have fun.I had fun cataloguing my figures.
I did not realize I had so many. Real life sucks badly and
this is the only place I have felt I can join in and talk to others
like me.
If I see a topic I am not interested in I don't read it. I
try not to get in anyone's face, I am not rude, mean or
pushy. I try to respect the diversity of everyone here and
their many interests. I just wish others would do the same.

That's all I have to say about that. I await the unkind comments
and or flames.

...whoa!!! I ignored this thread ever since I saw the first post but just checked again to see how everything is and I can't believe some one would type what is quoted by dr2red. Don't know who it is from and do not really care.

First off, this is a Sideshow Freaks forum, CORRECT???? Talking about how much you spend on Sideshow products and listing what SS figures you have is just another reason why you are a "freak" about Sideshow products. To me, seeing a listing of SS product tells me what you are crazy about Sideshow items. i think it is great to know what SS collectors collect and besides I get to know the person more. My intention of joining this forum is not solely to talk about SS products but also to get to know other SS collectors, and I have.

It's all good. Collecting figures in your own way is good.
Sharing your enthusiasm with others is good...

So...what's the big deal?
Are these enthusiasts supposed to....um....behave...according to some predetermined fashion and be all stylin' and COOL and stuff....are some collectors embarrassed by the zeal of others?

This site is about TOYS right? This is a TOY collector site????

Yes? Collectibles...statues....but mostly...toys???

OK.:D

Rock on with lists and gung ho and whatever. It's all cool.

How silly we collectors can be.
:lol
