It is more than just a toy to people who make a living off producing them.

It is more than just a toy to people who spend months organizing a convention.

Same could be said when dreamwave didn't pay their artists, It is just a comic book! What about when 88mph failed to deliver pre-orders... those who got it from amazon got theirs, it is just a book and 35$ who cares if some people were screwed?

If people have to marginalize it to make themselves feel better then why are they marginalizing it? Just admit that they don't care about what people do to others as long as they don't screw them personally. I don't like what they did to TFCON and won't support FP until they work out a solution with TFCON. (IE: the final asian release is approved by TFCON and they are happy with the outcome which I doubt will happen)

How important of a product does a company have to sell before lying and cheating customers becomes actually wrong?

 

OK, this thread is just getting fucking stupid now. Can someone please lock this until we actually get some news about it?

 

I still don't get the double standard, that many of the posters demonizing Fan Projects for what seems to be a miscommunication and trying to fix it. Yet these same posters would be cheering if something like this happened to a Fan Publications exclusive (Which it did). Is it because TFcon is Canadian and some how more innocent and pure then rest of the world? Fun Projects made a mistake and working on fixing it. Something you'll likely ever see from Hasbro or Takara.

 

Getting stupid now? I think the stupid boat set sail many many pages ago.

 

Dude, it's been stupid. Especially with the current 'holy indignation' that's being spouted...

 

Jesus this thread is still going? It is just the same repeat page after page. Hmmmm.....I will still continue to read it.  

 

to me you like a brother, so be my mother lover!!

 

Shia Labouf?

 

Mother Lover Video

 

It would be honor to be your new stepfather, and while I'm in your mother-I swear I'll never wear a rubber.

 

While i was reading this thread Malach, i think i wept with laughter after Your Mother F*cker comment. Thank you

 

I dont think mods enter this thread anymore....Its like the wild west..there is no law.
also i demand pwrd convoy.

 

I haven't seen anything 'holy'. None of my beliefs are religious or even claimed to be religious.

Some people are capable of not wanting to cause harm to his fellow man without the need of a higher power or religion telling him to. I wouldn't want what happened TFCON to happen to me if I was in the same situation and therefor I don't support the company that did it.

If you are fine with others being hurt as long as it does not impact you personally than why do you care if others disagree with you and with hold their business from FP and find what they did underhanded?

 

Jesus wept. Seriously. You say something, someone else says something, you say the same thing again, and then so do they. Wash, rinse, repeat for over 1000 posts.
This isn't an argument, it's a rerun.

 

Fucking each others moms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Honestly, I don't care what you do. It's cool with me. It's the way you present yourself that I find distasteful... (holier than thou is a figure of speech and you don't have to be religious to be such)... in such a way that you come off as if you are superior for your position and have taken a moral high ground (especially when morality is a very subjective thing) and, regardless of your beliefs (which I honestly couldn't care less about), I find anyone who puts themselves on such a pedestal to be rather arrogant and high on themselves.

In short... it's not your beliefs but the way you present them and yourself.

 

Okay here is the thing though, we all buy toys made in china, which choke this planet and contaminate it with fire ******ant chemicals. Think of all the waste in a TF package, thats an environmental no no.... Even our own little hobby has major repercussions that effect everyone globally, not just this little fandom.

You can't open that can of worms about man harming his fellow man and holding yourself above that without being a little bit hypocritical. Are you not going to watch porn since its exploits the innocent and naive youth, or not see the next big Disney Pixar Movie since they own 90% of the adult entertainment industry ( and is an evil Conglomerate).

I did go to Tfcon, a day long trip, spent hundreds on travel and lodging, just for the PC since I thought it was an exclusive. Woke up at 5:30 so i could get in line at 7, paranoid they would sell. out. Am i mad, well yea. Is that anger at fansproject? Nope.

No offense, I love the TFCon staff ( although they did express an anti American sentiment ) I'd have to say the fault lies with them. Things should have been in writing before they advertised PC as an exclusive. And maybe I'm wrong but i doubt they didn't know about the Japanese release. That being said I'd still even go back next year since i had such a great time in Toronto.

 

said perfectly

 

... 

 

Indeed, its is a living for them and TFCON has already made their money and FP is has made their money and are making more. Whats the problem? Its not like people are trying to return their TFCON armor sets to TFCON and getting their money back. If anything they are selling their sets on the second hand market which would have happened anyway.
