Yes? Wait, is that a trick question?

Sorry, as much as it annoys you to hear people go on and on about the excess of Bumblebees, Hasbro's shitty distribution, and how toys are getting cheaper in quality and smaller, it irks me to have everyone jump in their shit for saying such comments on a public forum...
Precisely.

You put quite nicely what I was merely going to dismiss as being a failed forum sage.

The chintzy plastic is also a major cause for concern.

So instead of a post in the appropiate feedback thread, you just made it a new thread.

Yes, FoC Jazz is small.

Seems about on size par with PRID line. I'm fine with this.

Awesome Pic done for me by my love.

kinda figured the mechtech was a blinder to put over people's eyes that the figures were getting downscaled, seems to have worked with some, the smaller sizes and higher prices make these drop from must have to maybe, or flat out no like prid's latest "offerings"

I believe it has less to do with the complaint itself, and more to do with the number of times we see these threads pop up on a regular (IE almost daily) basis.
