What ever happened to release days?

Hey Super7 what ever happened to release days? Those were the best, everybody getting to the shop early, shooting the shit in the cold and fog waiting to get in, rushing in to get toy-x and discuss, checking out every nook and cranny for treasures and spending more money than expected and lunch with a bunch of other toy freaks. And all the folks at home waiting for the crowd at the shop to satiate their needs before the release was put online.

Those were some of the best toy times ever and although I don't live close enough to attend anymore the buzz on the board and the reports afterward were a lot of fun.

 

Those were some fun times

 

'Mos 'def.

 

u guys weren't there for the mongolion release... WTF!?

 

Those were definitely great times.

 

yes... the very best Saturdays.

freaking my wife up by waking up super early on a Sat to go wait for S7 to open up.
Cold-ass mornings pulling up and seeing Aaron and Shannon with fold-out chairs and sleeping bags
Ryan emerging from his car since he drove up the night before
Joe smoking a cigarette wondering why it took me so long to get there.
Latte and a tomato and cream cheese bagel
talking shit until Josh or Alex walked up shaking their heads.

good times.

 

Yes. I miss those times as well.
Unfortunately, I only got to take part in a few before they went the way of the Dodo.

 

all you need is another craze. like realxhead minis a year ago... then all will be right.

 

well maybe if y'all would stop buying from YJA and KT, S7 would be nice to you again. nerd speak 101: Acronyms Speak Strongly

 

I can't buy from S7 as their webstore doesn't display correctly for me.

 

What do think we were doing on Saturday release days, using the computer at the store to surf YJA?

 

I remember the mad rushing speed in which most RxH items sold out whenever they dropped on the S7 website.. it was always exhilirating trying to get the newest chaos into my cart and turbo charge my paypal account before it disappeared into thin air.. never to be seen again..

 

Ruh roh? Zollmen x S7 Maza!?

 

ooooooo this hurts! I'm only 8453 miles away but I probably can't make it!

 

Nice, Flynn dropping the knowledge !

 

Mother/Maza may be hyped but it still is a very interesting figure. I really like it. I'd never pay secondary market prices though, they are insane,

 

damnit, now what am i gonna do with all these things if i can't resel..... uh nvm

 

I like the Maza sculpt. Its probably my second favourite after Bemon.

I collect what I like so don't intend to stop, when the bubble bursts I'll just buy them on YJA at a cheaper price.

I tend to not resell (or do it at a loss). Profit is not my motivation as a collector.

 

Joe = King Beehind. 'nuff said.

 

i don't really get them myself, but what is this scam you warn of? please explain....

 

Please....very curious.

 

I would interpret this as...the makers of Maza (Zollmen) hyped the figure so much, with the intention to flip it on YJA one by one? Is that it?

 

That's pretty much how I interpreted it as well. I would think this is somewhat similar to when Old Balance had that RxH exclusive Chaos and almost none of them went for sale in the shop and all were flipped by the store owner for significant amounts more on auction sites. But then again that was a shop exclusive, if the actual makers are doing it I'd most likely never buy from them again. Which is a shame because I do own one or two Maza and other things from Zollmen and I do like the work they do but that business practice is unforgivable.
