For those unfamiliar with Booyah! and Nessa's story, here ya go: https://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27195
Nessa's been a LONG time Sideshow collector and contributor to the Freaks board and Sideshow chats. A definite asset to the Sideshow community (if a sometimes norty one
) And it's wonderful to see her so happy and excited about her future with Booyah! and the baby-on-the-way. To know that Sideshow played even the smallest role in bringing about that happiness is absolutely amazing and a truly great feeling!
It's not just about the physical act of making, selling, and collecting that makes us do what we do at Sideshow - it's also about the human connection. I wouldn't be here, talking to you on the boards, if Sideshow weren't like that. I would be teaching elementary school or something instead! But we like to know that what we do, even the smallest gesture, can bring a smile to someone's face... whether it's a child at Christmas who gets the Luke Skywalker figure he's always wanted, or the child-at-heart who likes to scare the bejeesus out of his UPS man with his life-size Terminator Endoskeleton!
A lot of times this important stuff can get lost in the day-to-day business of running a company... such as receiving word about delayed production runs and wondering how we're going to pass along the bad news to the thousands of excited collectors who have been waiting months for the product, or listening to someone scream and throw blame about something over which we have no control (credit card declines, for instance)... or the many other instances of not-so-niceness that crowd into life when a person becomes an active part in a business like Sideshow's.
All of those daily grinds take a back seat when something wonderful like this happens, in part, because of what we do.
And Nessa and Booyah! - It's awesome that you two received the gifts safely :chew I have to come clean and say that I can't take credit for this one... everyone from the President, to the 3D Department, to the Graphics team, to the Customer Service reps, to the Shipping team knows your story. There were even a couple of tears shed in the Customer Service dept... what a buncha girls they are!Your wedding/baby present delivery was truly a team effort!
Enjoy, and congrats again!!... To life, love and collectibles(I know you can't drink in your condition, so don't worry, that's apple juice in there
LOL! Further proof! Thanks Dusty! Sideshow and you have made me more happy than you can imagine just by doing this. You truly work for good people!
