Mikecollector, you should buy what you like. Don't get stuff just because you think it will impress others or because it's price is slashed. If you go down that path, you'll turn into a lemming.

Even so... how many times has it happened on this board that they weren't impressed with the stock photos and said, instant pass, meh etc
I've lost count.

Then when somebody gets it in hand from good photographers they then want it badly and are practically drooling on the screen!

This is the biggest reason I argue stupid posts. Stupid because you'd let a few early pics determine if its a yay or nay item. Pictures are very very tricky, every camera looks different, low end suck, high end are better, etc, etc.

There are many great photographers here (yourself included) so I usually just wait to see the real deal before _____ing. Hell even then I still don't. I'm just not a _____. :lol
 
And a hell of a lot more pretentious.



So the only people entitled to post in a thread are the people who agree with the original poster?

Had you considered the possibility that the poster is wrong? What kind of monsters would be if we let him go through life thinking wrong things?

What you ask is cruel and unusual.


What is really cruel how some of the post lambast him to the point that it is cruel and on ill intent. I am not saying his right or wrong ! I am just simply pointing out that it is unecesary to go to the lengths that some of the posts to ridicule him!!

I believe we need to get a grip and not over whelm such threads with relentess posts on how wrong he maybe !!!
Let's time to think before we post.... Has it been argued already in th thread ? So what's the point of going on and on ? Lastly this maybe you getting railed on of your own thread!! All I am saying is let's considers things a bit before we post!

This whole thread wouldn't exist if the OP had done just that. ;)

People should also think about the threads they are starting. Having a rant thread about company we are all fans of because the OP feels Sideshow doesn't have enough items on sale (after they just gave away thousands of dollars worth of merchandise) was probably not the wisest thing. This person was just setting themselves up for attacks.

There are tactful ways to go about saying things - such as "I hope Sideshow has some good sales for Black Friday" or "I really would love to pick up a few new pieces, I hope they have some good sales over the holidays..."

I'll confess, I've fell into that trap myself. I've acted like an ass here before about it. I can be quite a critical ass that I'm trying to change. However, now knowing what I do now from the likes of Agen, OMG, Jay, MaulFan etc over the years... I always try to approach it with an open mind now.

Although, the most impressive product photos I've seen lately that really flatters the figures if not as good as some on this board, has been the Demon and Scarecrow photos.

I could have sworn they've gotten new equipment.

These are really nice photos that make you want it.

There's also been some really nice products from Sideshow and their photos I've wanted for statues but the monster import tax fees stops me from buying but I don't hold a grudge.


That is just gorgeous.

If you ever find yourself discussing this hobby with someone who doesn't collect, always mention how much you're going to eventually sell it for. Then tell them about your importing/exporting business with Art Vandalay.
Yep thats what I do lol.

It's nothing to do with "wright or wrong". He posted to tell SSC he will stop buying from them if they don't start putting more stuff on sale. Oh, I'm sure they are really worried about losing business from someone who has bought FIVE products from them (All, expect HUGE discounts forthcoming).

Firstly he's a DOUCHE for making such a stupid, hollow, and pointless claim. Secondly I've bought well over a hundred products from SSC over the years. If I suddenly quit it would make no difference to their sales (case in point, my annoyance of them dropping the 50% off international shipping - I didn't make threats to quit); so this this bargain basement shopper surely won't be missed.
