    And yet, over in the Core Star thread, someone was arguing that the reason HasLab came down on Zeta is because they felt they lost backers because of it. They even cited ten (count them, ten!) people who said they were cancelling their order.

    Why would those people waste their time in the 3P forum in order to see this thread?

    Why do people slow down for opposite lane car crashes and roadkill on the shoulder of the road?

    Ehh, if I boycott hasbro it will be because they keep raising prices without equally improving the quality of their product.

    The Hasbro greed is what stopped me from buying much of their products now. The prices are just way too much for me to justify anymore. Saps the life out of the hobby.

    That said I have no issue with Hasbro protecting their IP. But honestly everyone backing this is enabling Hasbro with the outrageous "collector" prices these days. But it's your money, spend however you see fit.

    You must be quoting the wrong person. Also there's no "Non Hasbro" toys. After the brand unification, they are all the same no?

    Hasbro prices are actually pretty in line with the rest of the toy industry, so they’re not alone

    Fixed m, thanks. By non Hasbro I simply mean third party. If he’s trying to reach Hasbro supporters, seems to be missing his target audience. And probably trolling.

    I'm glad Zeta's Unicron is down for now because it got me worried that Hasbro would come after all 3P if Unicron would fail out of retaliation. 3P is too good to get shut down by this. Thanks Zeta for showing respect to the IP holder.

    Wow. After reading through 5 pages of comments, I think it is safe to say that MANY people that have posted on this thread should be ashamed of themselves.

    Feel free to disagree with the OP. Have a different opinion. But why resort to name calling? Don't you realize that that is also a "childish action"?

    Whatever ever happened to people respecting others and having a respectful disagreement. These boards are almost becoming unreadable, as this type of lashing out is everywhere it seems.

    I wish everyone could take a deep breath and spend a few more moments on typing a respectful response instead of a knee-jerk reaction. :(
