    dubious post…

    but by all means, cancel your preorder if its one where you haven't paid yet. with your friends slipping you such high value intel, why wouldn't you?

    I wish he would have been more detailed about it. I know if someone was telling me "inside" info I would ask for specific details.

    things don't quite add up for me, and i know it wouldn't be the first time "insiders" came on to post what their friends told them and have it not be accurate in the end.

    I have a great deal many friends that sell toys online and I trust their words. I don't know how much more detailed I need to be lol. I said what I was told. I'm not telling anyone else to cancel their preorders. Just that I'm considering canceling mine. As I said, I'm holding out that it won't be too bad because again, as I said, I like how Kronos looks. There have been delays upon delays. No communication as of late. There isn't anything dubious about my message. I'm not passing this information along to be malicious. Just sharing what I've heard and why I have concerns n

    First of all, why is everyone mad at optibotimus? Has he ever given you any reason to doubt him and what he is posting? Would you, even for a second, consider that if his post turns out to be false he has as much to lose with the community as the rest of us? Personally he has never given me any doubt and his reviews in general have not been skewed. On the other hand, and please do not turn this into a flame war again, Arafat has left and we are in the dark, so that raises flags that maybe it was more deliberate than we thought. Again, please do not answer to this i am just thinking out loud. No need to start fighting amongst us again.

    Well, I'm preordered with Captured Prey, so no cancellation option for me. This is obviously worrisome. Can you provide more detail on the nature of the QC problems? What are some specific issues your sources are seeing out of the box?

    I don't think they're mad. Just looking for who told me the information basically. Last time though I quoted someone and said who it was from, I got in trouble lol

    I don't see anyone mad at Optibotimus? I can only speak for myself I wanted to know if there were any details involving his statement. I cant speak for CV Prowl but I didn't take his comment as insulting.

    If you feel you can pass the information on without getting yourself into trouble, just paraphrase or summarize what you've heard.

    Thank you for asking the same question I asked. I am concerned as well since there are more great figures down the road that I can spend money on and save for. We don't want names of sources but what might the issues be with it, easily stressed areas, thin plastic. If no details were given than that's alright.

    Yes, this would be beneficial. I don't want to cancel as I like what I see and I don't mind removing the jet pack, but I do not appreciate QC issues in a figure this expensive. A little more clarification would help us all, although you have to be careful.

    That was because you put an out of context quote from a private conversation that nobody else has access to just to make someone look bad ;) 

    Anyways, if "very reliable friends" told me I was going to get for $160+ a QC filled toy I would not come here saying that I was “considering cancelling”. I would cancel right away instead of talking about stuff that is the bread and butter of almost all 3P products (silent periods, delays…).

    Whoops ninja'd. LOL.

    Arafat thanks for clearing that up, is there any chance that Kronos will be reviewed before the figure starts to ship? Thanks for your time!

    relax. no anger in posts above.

    only stating my opinion of the situation…

    and since you asked, yes I think there is a good chance optibotimus was someone who's "friends" have let him down in the past. i don't go to lengths to keep tabs on who's insiders come out to be correct, but something in my memory triggered a caution as i finished up his post.

    Maybe optibotimus could answer for us? He should remember better than I. have your "friends" ever given you incorrect info before?

    exacty what I'm talkin about. They aren't even OUT yet.
