Fuck You Fuck You Thread

Jeff Goldblum was right, all those years ago.

 

unofficial motto of the Fugliest Toys thread

 

I’ve been able to repatriate MVH toys back into the US and into my collection quite often from trading with Asian collectors over the past few years, but it has not been an easy or painless process by any stretch of the imagination. Ive met some total dicks that I will never speak to again. I also made one Chinese friend who is one of the coolest people in the hobby I’ve ever dealt with. It’s a mixed bag, like anything. (My wife is Chinese and I have a half-Asian child, so please no one wave some millennial bullshit race card with the wording of my post).

I think a lot of them sell or trade but it probably happens within the Asian market.

 

Bummed to say Atom doesn’t seem to want to do anything about it. He asked me to get a damage report from USPS. Never had to do that before, didn’t realize they would take the item back. Which is fair, I shouldn’t get to keep something I’m trying to get the money for. I send him the report, few weeks go by and he says that Japan post doesn’t see why they need to pay out a claim. He also tells me to think why he would send a busted toy, doesn’t make sense to do that.

From the very beginning I told him that it was for sure US customs that damaged the toy. I don’t know what the fuck he is going on about. He also states that he can’t pick me specifically for the lotto next time, it is impossible. Ok what the fuck ever. I explain, again that I never blamed him for any of it. Ask him what would he do if he got something expensive in the mail damaged, what would he do just suck it up? Over a week and no response. Whatever, filed a PayPal claim. I’m not losing the money and the toy.

 

Heard the same back from Canadian and Singaporean post about damaged items before. How anyone ever gets postal service insurance to pay out, I don't know.

 

Why the fuck even offer or include it? Great thing this went through PayPal as an invoice.

 

This happened to me at dcon with a guy from nyc standing next to me in line for rxh on saturday morning. He asked me which pkds toy is the most popular.

 

Damn man, sorry to hear that. It sounds like his position from the beginning was that he packed it correctly and if US customs decides to break it, that's not his problem. Technically he has a point, but I think a lot of other makers would of still tried to make it right in some way. Its possible it would of gone better if you said it didn't arrive at all, but I suppose there was electronic proof it did arrive.

It sounds to me like Atom has got big enough that potentially losing you as a loyal customer is no big deal. I would bet good money if this had happened earlier in his toy making career he would of been a lot more helpful.

 

If he would have offered to pick me next time, I would have been totally fine with that. But that’s honestly what I think, he could care less considering how many entries he must get.

I don’t believe in karma but I wouldn’t want to bullshit him like that. At least PayPal should end up getting me the funds back.

 

Hope so, but none of this bodes well for any other gaijin that receive a toy of his that gets damaged along the way. Don't expect any sympathy, you troublesome foreigners. I don't envy your position if US customs can just vandalise an expensive item and send it on its way with impunity. Now, that is what's truly fucked about this situation, friggin bastards.

 

That’s what crossed my mind before I posted anything on IG. I’d rather not fuck everyone else’s chances of getting anything from him.

But it definitely irritated me when he said his lottos are fair so he can’t pick me specifically next time. If some go to flippers while others constantly go to the same collectors, it doesn’t seem very fair to me.

 

For the record, I do believe the lotto is actually fair. The same folks end up with them because they either trade/pay flippers for every new release, or game the system with multiple entries. Not to take away from what's happened to you.

 

Nice

 

I’m telling you guys, if you stick around long enough, more and more people reveal themselves to be assholes, if you stop buying out of principle, eventually you will be relying on a very small group of makers to collect.

 

My dog sorta got sprayed by a skunk, so fuck you, skunk.
It must've happened in the next yard over and my dog stuck his head under the fence to see what was happening. He didn't get a direct spray and doesn't stink up the room when he enters, but if you cuddle up with him, you smell it. Part skunk, part burnt rubber.

Also FU to coworkers who have no respect for deadlines and are rude about it.

 

. . . I collect reasons NOT to buy toys more than actual toys these days!

Inflated pricing, lottery shenanigan's, rinse-and-repeat designs, rip-off shipping, output that slows to a stop, output flooding the market, egomaniac 'artists', prima donna's, the overly-sensitive, makers that forget 'The buyer is always right' . . . spoilt for choice these days!

 

My mom got sprayed by a skunk a few years ago right after thanksgiving. She was warming up the leftovers, then came into the house and was like "I think I got sprayed by a skunk" and we were all screaming for her to get out of the house because we were gagging. She didn't really smell it. Then she went back into the kitchen to finish warming up the food. None of which any of us wanted to eat. But weirdly, the food didn't stink and...well...we wound up eating it.

 

...and will be happy & content with the buying choices you made instead of dealing with the cognitive dissonance that you're giving your hard-earned money to an asshole just to get another hype dollie and "burning out" on this hobby within three years. Unless you're a fucking masochist. "Cool, another over-priced turd that doesn't bring me joy from that fucking asshole I loathe. UNNGGHHHH."

 

Ding, Ding, Ding! Everyone grab your seats, Joe is on the podium speaking the truth.

 

I’ve always been an asshole, so no surprise to anyone at this point.

 

If we aired all the dirty laundry we discuss via DM this place, shhhhheeiiiiitttttt

We may have different opinions on what makes someone an asshole, but lying to someone's face is way up there on my list

 

People who have #Blessed stickers on their cars, or anywhere else for that matter.

And people who have license plate frames that say (something of the like) "Only the best moms get to be grandmas." Fuck you. That shit is just stupid

 

Just because someone dislikes #blessed stickers doesn’t mean they hate God...I find “#blessed” tacky in general
