I respect your thoughts and opinions in regards to my comments but:
A wise man once said, "Nothing before the word "but" really counts". And that's evidenced in what followed. If you really
did respect my thoughts and opinions and weren't angry at me for them, you wouldn't have had to post this disclaimer.
In no way did I make anything I said personal at you. I didn't direct it at you, say your name, quote a single word. I was answering the points in a general sense observing the posting patterns with this situation. You made it personal, very personal actually and it's not fair in the least. Even with the post I was answering, you took a personal jab at the person - and anyone else for that matter - that was simply asking what the big deal was.
You obviously missed my point, so let me make it a little clearer for you.
First of all when it comes come to comparisons, I didn't say a $25,000 car, but since you threw that price in, let's use it. For some people $25,000 isn't a lot of money for a car, for some people $239.99 may not be a big deal for a figure. For other people $25,000 is a whole lot of money for a car and $239.99 is a whole lot of money for a figure. The point is, most collectors here understand that there's no such thing as a "perfect" figure. We pay for the appearance of "perfection" or what one perceives as being perfect. Regardless of what you're buying or how much it costs, THAT's what we pay our hard earned money for. So, when something has a known QC issue, or doesn't seem right for whatever reason, some of people are rightfully bothered by that and choose not to spend their hard earned money on it. In the end, whether it's $1 or $100,000.00, it's still one's personal decision to decide if it's worth their money. It doesn't matter what the huge deal is with this figure, you spend your money your way, and other collectors will spend their money their way!
Secondly, with regard to this comment, which was unnecessary: People have a right to not want it and to be upset about it, but people also have the right to want it and be thrilled about it without some snide comments and crazy comparisons in a backhanded attempt to make themselves feel better about cancelling, right? This wasn't personal until you made this statement which felt like a jab at me. I personally don't need to make myself feel better about cancelling ANYTHING, as I have a valid reason for cancelling whatever it is I decide to cancel. I'm old enough and confident enough to know exactly what it is I do and don't want. You don't know me! Don't act like you didn't consider cancelling this yourself. I would imagine if you've been collecting long enough, you may have cancelled a figure or two yourself for whatever reason, but hey, I don't know you. Maybe you haven't. All I'm saying is enjoy your figure and everyone who cancelled can enjoy spending their hard earned money elsewhere.
From this point on I'm done with this subject. Hopefully I've clarified my position if not, so be it. Going back and forth with you would be arguing for the sake of arguing. It has to stop somewhere.
It's really great and quite convenient to say something like that so you can get in all of your attacks and jabs at me and then "walk away" as if you're taking some sort of high road and even have that last word. You know, you could have done any number of things, like asked what I meant in the thread, sent me a PM asking what I meant, sent a PM asking me if I was even
referring to you in the first place or even not bothered to reply at all if you REALLY wanted to take the moral high ground, instead of just assuming and going off on me like I ran over your cat and posted the pictures. I have the right to answer your unwarranted and unprovoked attacks to make clear that I never even remotely took a shot at you. And no, actually, not once did I consider cancelling it and I've even stated as much while stating how much I understand if people wanted to cancel - this is frustrating for everyone looking forward to this figure even in the slightest, but not ONCE have I attacked or even come close to insinuating that people were somehow wrong to cancel, return or even keep their figure. Unlike your conduct in this post.
Go ahead. Look at my post history. I've always tried to keep everyone's thoughts on this situation VALID, and not
once have I done to
anyone what you're doing to me right now. Also, my collecting habits are none of your business. Again, I did nothing to YOU or anyone else for that matter, regardless of whatever reasoning you're using to make it about you. I think you may need to take a step back if you're going to attack me because I dared say something and you simply read into it. You reading tone where there isn't and you reading meaning and even words where there aren't is your problem, not mine.
Next time you want to take your bad day out on someone, take your own advice and make sure you know a little something about them, or even better yet, make sure they've actually done something to deserve it because, like you said yourself, you don't know me and on top of all that, you have NO idea what my life is like and what I deal with on a daily basis for you to just go off on me like you did for zero reason.
NOW we're done with this sidebar. If you REALLY need to post again for the last word, have at it or just send a PM so people aren't subjected to more of this crap. My conscious is clear, regardless. I have enough REAL ******** going on in my real life and I didn't do anything to deserve such a ridiculous personal onslaught over a ****ing toy.
