No, it will not be full stop there...

I really think, that there are collectors and there are diehard collectors...and that is my opinion period.

Same thing when there are car drivers and there are race car drivers. Think about that and compare it to the collecting hobby.  

Opinions and opinions.

 

Strange. My Iceman from Baba was also missing both guns.

 

I was missing both guns from TFSource.

 

Just checked my tracking for iceman from showz, he's in Poland. So a ways to go till Scotland lol

 

I bought 2 figures from a chinese seller. One package was sent to a wrong address and for ten days the status of the other package is "data received".
This resembles a typical scam example. eBay is notified and i hope i get my money back.
I would stay away from chinese eBay sellers that offer FT TFs...

 

I don’t think that analogy works. Race car driver is a profession. Collectors don’t get paid to collect. (Unless you consider scalpers to be collectors)

 

Heh...race car driver is not necessarily a profession...come on.  

...Driving with race car can be just a hobby...just like for example car tuning stuff/hobby.

 

The analogy still doesn't work. If you drive a race car as a hobby, that doesn't assign a different value to your driving.

Collector vs diehard collector is a fine distinction, as it doesnt assign a value either, it just describes the intensity of the collecting.

A term like "true" is an arbitrary distinction that assigns a value, which tries to delegitimize those who don't fit that criteria.

 

What's the line between "collector" and "diehard collector"? How many mortgage payments do I have to miss due to buying too many toys in order to be considered a diehard collector?

 

Ok, Hoffman. It seems, that both of us just think different way that word: ”true”. I never think that ”true” word like it means some kind of ”value” to something. Word: ”passion” could be the right word, which is in the core of this matter. But, anyways...like i said...opinions and opinions.

 

Scalping is just a symptom of insufficient economic opportunity. People have no idea how widespread the practice of gatekeeping really is.

 

Opinions are only as good as the reasons that support them. Never forget.

 

I’m not absolutly sure about the core on your comment, but anyway...yeah, you are right...it’s good to have some kind of a reason if someone has some kind of opinion.  

 

Sucks about the guns, thanks for responding. Ok, I ordered this from baba on 5/1, it hasn't even shipped yet. They have been slipping real bad here lately, I understand current events, but not replying to emails is inexcusable.

 

Also, opinions are like assholes; everyone has one but some are shitty than others!

 

Fans Toys does not get KO'd regularly. There's only 1 (possible) instance of such. MK Toys Imitation Brothers (based off their Reflector, unconfirmed), which has yet to release. The main thing you gotta watch out for are scammer sellers.

Your best friend regarding those is to check the "China eBay Seller Check" thread, which i'll link below.

China Ebay Seller Check - New-comers READ FIRST POST!!

As I checked, the seller you linked is in the "Good" category, so you're most likely good to go. But i'd ask for some in-hand images from them just to be safe.

 

Don't think Cloud 9 is KO in the real sense. Different mold altogether.

A lot of figures share a similar transformation. By that definition, everything is a KO.

 

Ok, thanks. I may try one and see. Ebay will refund me if they screw me. They are pretty good at siding with the buyers.

 

Is it actually? Could have sworn from what I heard that it was. My bad if I got my info mixed up.

Don't mention it, happy to help! Dealt with a scammer once, and also got my money back, so no doubt that if shit goes south on yours, that you'll be protected.

 

A quick Google will show you that Cloud 9's offering is super stylized.
