The Most Awesome 1/6 HOA Concept EVER & Most Awesome Wife Ever

[Sikatar]

Lipsmack is on ignore so I missed this comment.

I guess most of you would rather add to the noise of a thread with 4000+posts about a toy that hasn't even been released yet instead of engaging in a conversation with an adult.

On most forums, 90% of the posts in the majority of these threads would be considered a waste of bandwidth, but here in bizarreo world, 60 posts stating "I got my shipping notice followed by 60 posts saying "the wait is illing me" is more "important" then a post about different ways of doing something or a random cool thought about something hobby related.

I can guarantee you that if I posted a picture of our copula with wall to wall Detolfs that were over loaded with Hot Toys action figures the thread would have 2000 posts by now.


If there wasn't so much good info here I would have ditched this place on day two.

But for now I will hang out and feed the trolls.

Welcome to the boards boba. I am sure you already got a welcome, but I wanted to say it anyway. It is always a great way to welcome a new poster. I appreciated it when it was said to me when I first posted.

That is a cool idea. Maybe I'll grab the specs and pop it in cadd or BIM and see what it comes out to being.

Nice house. Great wife. Killer casework!

Someone stated you're a veteran forum member in good standing across a multitude of boards, so you there's no reason you shouldn't be familiar with how this board works.

There's literally 3 entire sections of this forum - Show Your Shelves, Sandbox, General Discussion - dedicated to having discussion threads like this one and others you have posted in the past, yet you continue to clutter up the Marvel Figure forum with these threads.

Why post these threads here in the Marvel Figure section when you know that (1) they are generally not well received and (2) this is the wrong place to post them?

I'm sure you're a great person and passionate fan, but if the 10,000 or so fans just like you that use this forum daily posted a multitude of threads like yours here, it would take half an hour or more to sift through them in order to find the Marvel figure threads.

Thanks, I'll have to check out some of your threads

That would be awesome

If you think this forum is like most forums on the net you are not well traveled. I have never seem so many wasteful posts over the such ordinary things such as a shipping notices. I get the opinion that you think a thread cluttered up with 30 post that say "I got my shipping notice " and 30 posts that say " I didn't get my shipping notice yet " is some how more important then a thread like this.

As for these comments:


(1) they are generally not well received

(2) this is the wrong place to post them?

1. They are not well received by a very small vocal minority.
2. Who are you to tell me this is the wrong place to post a thread. It's about the 1/6 Hot Toys Marvel HOA. I'm not talking about paper helmets or foam suits.


Forums are like parties, could you image if you went to a party with a bunch of people that whine about this type of thread and just wanted everyone to talk about the same thing. That would be real fun.


I am a veteran internet user and I can tell you from experience that a lot of the posters on this forum come across as immature and very low information.



Just as 60 Action Figures in a Detolf does not make an awesome collection, 10000 members does not make a quality forum.



Pictures and product information is pretty much the only reason I'm still hanging around.

By the way the GIF in your signature is so ironic that it escapes description

I didn't get my shipping notice yet

Yankee's comments are spot on and it is not coming from a trolling angle. This site operates differently than most message boards. Most folks that join this board hang out for a month or so before getting really active in posting to learn the lay of the land. The Marvel Action Figures and the DC Action Figure thread sections for the most part are specific to figure threads. With the exception of occasional Show your Shelves which are still Marvel/ DC related.

While I agree there is tons of fodder within each individual thread, they generally stay within the threads. I think the rub is members are not used to people just creating topics for specific figure discussion outside the regular areas. From what I have seen the people that do this are one and done, after the first rash of comments to correct the person on the structure of the section to place the comments within the figure threads.

The big reason you are not getting a rash of negative comments is that most folks don't care enough to respond, but everyone is thinking the same thing. For the most part this is a fantastic board for information and people are generally good natured with their posts. When folks grind into the flow or structure is when we get these types of discussions.

If you stick to posting your thoughts within the proper figure threads no one is going to say anything to you. Unless your comments are out of line or baiting for confrontation.

 

[hokietwo]

As for your opinion on detolf's, you should not be so quick to blurt out the disdain for them considering probably half of the people here use them. Some better than others. Obviously people are going to have different space and shelf requirements so its not a big deal if they want to cram 100 figures in a shelf if that is the only place they can store them.

Personally I think your displays look like somebody raided a Kirkland's for wrought iron wall scone candle holders and placed random junk on them. I don't like that all of your collectibles are out in the open to dust. But most folks again either don't care enough or are too nice to comment on your "Star Wars" and movie collectables room. Be constructive and you'll find it much easier around here.

How well traveled are you on the grid? How does one measure these things?

I have never seem so many wasteful posts over the such ordinary things such as a shipping notices.

I don't think this thread is important, if that's what you're asking.

As for these comments:
1. They are not well received by a very small vocal minority.

Like many others have mentioned, and judging by a vast majority of hilarious posts your senseless threads are not well received by the majority, sorry.

2. Who are you to tell me this is the wrong place to post a thread. It's about the 1/6 Hot Toys Marvel HOA. I'm not talking about paper helmets or foam suits.

Who am I? I'm someone who apparently doesn't have nearly as many miles logged on my grid odometer as you yet is intelligent enough to realize that conforming to the basic format of a massive internet forum is generally a good idea.

Who are you besides a mewling quim? Who cares?

Forums are like parties, could you image if you went to a party with a bunch of people that whine about this type of thread and just wanted everyone to talk about the same thing. That would be real fun.

Can you imagine if you went to the opera and carried on like a Philadelphia Eagle fan at a home NFL game? Yeah, that's you buddy. Great job!

A proud "veteran" web surfer here folks, maybe someone should alert CLU & Rinzler you've arrived.

Just as 60 Action Figures in a Detolf does not make an awesome collection, 10000 members does not make a quality forum.

Says who - you? There's massive collections of smaller scale figures packed in Detolfs that look fantastic. But good job judging everyone who has a collection that isn't caddy cornered like yours.

Without jumping in for either side, this is really a perfect example of when the mods should either explicitly say these threads are fine or enforce what many would consider this forum's format. Don't get why they've allowed it to fester so long. It's obviously a source of tension and this is the third (at least) thread that's degenerated into this kind of back-and-forth.

I applaud you Y4NK33, your posts in Bobba_Debt's threads are pretty spot on as to why they aren't that well liked or go as he planned. And I don't think they are trollish either

Personally speaking Boba, I think you really should go with what Y4NK33 PL4N3T is saying. Also really you should just generally think about your threads a lot more in depth before posting because some are either pointless, or blatant troll/flame bait. Come on, you complain about people using detolfs because they want to save money? And you don't expect people to get irritated? A lot of your threads just aren't needed, at all. And your posts are either pretty long and ranty, or short and not that worthwhile so there's some inconsistency. Hell I took some time before I went out to other boards. I'm not trying to be mean.

 

[Boba Debt]

As for your opinion on detolf's, you should not be so quick to blurt out the disdain for them considering probably half of the people here use them...........

You just surmised my entire point about Detolfs and don’t even realize it. The fact that HALF the people here use them shows an amazing lack of originality and only reinforces the group think attitude that this new generation of collectors share. Most of you are nothing more then grown up Star Wars POTF Action Figure Collectors.

For those not familiar, they collected Star Wars figures in the 90s, they had to have every variation and it was sacrilegious to remove them from their packages. Their value was based more on the condition of the package and and less on the actual quality of the figure.

The only difference is that now the figures are crammed into glass boxes instead of hanging from a thumb tack on their bedroom wall

And just like then, Most of the collectors here think buying a bunch of figures and sticking them in a glass case is impressive, I call collectors like this the Retail Generation and it doesn’t take any work to join this group.

Anyone can do it, you don’t even have to have money, you can just use credit and sell the old stuff when it’s time to pay the bills.




I came up in a time when you had to work to build a collection and every piece meant something. It was the work that you put into the item that was most remembered.

You can insult our collection all you want, it doesn’t bother me a bit because it’s what we like and that’s all that matters. Most of the pieces have a story and that is what makes them special to us.

I have shared some of it with this forum and some people have enjoyed it while others have insulted it.

Without jumping in for either side, this is really a perfect example of when the mods should either explicitly say these threads are fine or enforce what many would consider this forum's format. Don't get why they've allowed it to fester so long. It's obviously a source of tension and this is the third (at least) thread that's degenerated into this kind of back-and-forth.

That because this forum is full of control freaks that can't step outside of what they deem correct or valuable. That's the way their generation acts.

I'm really surprised the grammar Nazi has not made his appearance yet.


This thread started with a simple simple post about the Hot Toys Hall of Armor, but because a few people think it was posted in the wrong place it has degenerated into personal attacks and insults.

What an utter waste of time



Y4NK33 PL4N3T, you’re the second member to make my ignore list, congrats.

The fact that HALF the people here use them shows an amazing lack of originality and only reinforces the group think attitude that this new generation of collectors share.

I use Detolf's because I live in an apartment and I don't have the space or disposable income to make any sort of permanent display. I'm assuming that's also endemic to my generation?

I dunno man, I think you should clearly give that whatever income and space you have just to be original. Cause that matters more in the long run clearly.

Btw Boba Debt, half the things you say and accuse others of, applies to you. Just putting that out there. You state we're control freaks but you state everyone should be original, not use detolfs etc.

The mere fact that you do not realize that you use part of your disposable income to buy toys could be part of the problem. I never really had a problem with Detolfs, I justed posted an opinion that many of te collectors her use them.



I saw a Detolf on this forum full of figures and as just an example there was a single shelf with 8 Hot toys Captain Americas crammed on it. Even if each figure cost $150 that is $1200 that could have been spent on a display enviroment that no one else uses. But I am sure that to this collector it was more about volume and less about standing out.

I dunno man, I think you should clearly give that whatever income and space you have just to be original. Cause that matters more in the long run clearly.

Btw Boba Debt, half the things you say and accuse others of, applies to you. Just putting that out there. You state we're control freaks but you state everyone should be original, not use detolfs etc.

I never said people should be original, I said there is a lack of originality the permeates this forum.





Some have said I’m a veteran in this hobby, well I’ve been doing this for 37 years so I guess I am.

Here is a picture of a walk in closet I turned into my first Star Was room back when the original trilogy first came out.





I wonder how many of the 10000 members of this forum will still be collecting in 37 years.

 

[lotus000]

Oh boy we are talking about Detolfs now. Well I also use Detolfs, just in a different way. Just be very careful if anyone attempts doing this. The Detolfs can shatter so please take your time.

Boba Debt threads = hilarious!

You can't expect to introduce yourself to a forum by posting multiple threads about how great your collection is then diss everyone who uses a Detolf, the majority of 1:6 collectors, and expect not to encounter grief.

What an utter waste of time

I love when the person doing the majority of the insults cries about insults, he handed out 3 insults in his last post alone

The more this guy posts the faster he digs his grave here, but don't worry y'all - it's "all about what he likes and that's all that matters".

Not sure what I'm looking at exactly but I like it. The Iron Man collection is quite impressive, much as I resent HT's fixation with it.
