    pretty good, 5/5 was barely posted a hour ago with minimal info as awaiting it, and hey... 8 replies in a hour.

    nice try at a burn comeback, but you fell short of the prize.

    To be fair though @eckotyper you gotta admit that's a poor ratio compared to the action on the MVH account right?

    Anyway that SVM comment was a bit of a low blow I have you admit. You got me good.. three years of organising that show with maybe two months off over Christmas and constant DMs about SVM4 I figured an announcement was in order. I guess you didn't see many people wearing SVM shirts at Dcon.. probably too busy playing with Zug's asshole

    Didn't see @eckotyper's dig until now. I vote not cool, too. And no, I'm not talking about his preference for overly sugared, criminally under-bubbled also-ran soda.

    Jesus fucking Christ has this place turned into a giant shithole of a community. It's sofubi hipsterism at its worst. And people wonder why it's dead.

    People are going out of their way at great personal expense in time and money to do shows and bring something cool to their area and nope, let's talk about thread views and quantity of replies. What the fuck is wrong with you? I don't know dick about @badteethcomics, but I know the stress and panic that comes with hosting a show that most people don't make a fucking penny on just to share their passion. I did my show in Atlanta last year and I remember sharing it here and people accusing me of dumping toys here that didn't sell. Luckily the amount of people saying "thank you for this" far outweighed the snarky commentary, but I do admit I wish I kept some of those Kumons so I could shove them up some of your asses. You poison this scene with your pointless negativity, and you wonder why all the artists who were born here left YEARS ago.

    We should be sharing art, not turning this place into a fucking high school cafeteria, but I know my pleas will fall on deaf ears.

    which its totally fine. the FB page has suggestions on how to get to the vault from 4 different airports. distances from those 4, cheapest train ride ( as some have taken Amtrak and paid about twice as much as they should, with a lot less options as far as train times). The FB page was never meant to get the same traffic as Rich' IG account. However it does contain knowledgeable info for those DV show goers...

    as far as dcon, sorry, dont really pay that close attention to the clothing of other males so much.

    please take a hour of your time and look at all of BTC's comments, and then at mine... please compare and see who is the more hostile of the 2. the jab was towards him. he wanted some of the old SB, he just got it.

    be careful what you wish for.:cry:

    ^ I draw the line at, "and another thing!" double posts. Sit on your hands, man, this isn't looking good.

    it wasnt really a double post as the first post was being written and posted during the time Kidmiraclekid composed his reply. so after responding i see another message is now there, so i reply to this. and now condensed.

    Dude, listen to yourself for a second. You asked me to spend an hour looking at post history so I can determine who was the bigger dickhead.

    If you're right, you proved someone else is a dickhead.

    If you're wrong, you're a dickhead.

    How about we just, you know, try to do less dickheaded things in general?

    If you want to look at post history, look at how all the artists that used to love this place have left. The guys you love never come here anymore and there's a reason. We used to see artists share their 3D renders, their clay sculpts...you could see shit in its idea form and watch it come to life in real time. How fucking cool is that?

    And we abandoned that for what, a literal dickhead measuring contest.

    Fuck that's depressing.

    I can't believe we're actually attacking each other like this.

    @badteethcomics No matter what you say lately, it comes across as "my taste in sofubi is better than yours." @kid_miracleman is right, you're acting like a sofubi hipster, which is pretty silly seeing that you came into the scene with a cheeseburger toy. I'm almost positive that Arbito's Patty Power came out before Cheesetroyer did, so why on earth are you such a condescending purist when it comes to collecting? Do you ever consider that maybe, just maybe, that you aren't taken seriously or people have beef with you in part because of the hypocrisy? We all complain about "new sofubi" but sheesh, you even go after fans of MVH... even if it's not your thing, Rich started from resin and worked his ass off over a span of years to where he got to today. His fanboys annoy you? Fine, but he earned them.

    @eckotyper I know you have beef with @badteethcomics but having a local, smaller show blow up in your face must suck major balls... not only for those organizing it, but for the people in Australia who don't want to dish out a ton of cash to attend shows elsewhere. I know that I personally can't bring myself to buy a Dcon or NYCC ticket because I absolutely loathe lines, hordes of people (especially when they're in costume,) and walking through enormous mazes of booths and tables. I went to the Philly Comiccon a few years ago and that was just a miserable adventure into the asshole of humanity. I'm lucky that Five Points popped up into existence, because right now it's the only show that seems within range and won't drive me bonkers. But yeah, what I'm trying to say is that it sucks that any show needs to shut down... and taunting the organizer who put the effort into making it happen for a lot of people just straight up sucks. Seeing what a big MVH fan you are, you should probably consider that Rich was probably bummed as fuck when he had to cancel both the KaijuTan and Whatever-the-hell-that-collab-that-spawned-Telebobo show at DV.

    Anyway, that's my take on it. We don't have to all like each other but for goodness sake, these are TOYS. Collectibles. They're huge parts of our lives and at the same time they really shouldn't be causing us to become this crazy emotional that we're willing to rip each other to shreds.

    I'll be back when we start arguing about Coca-Cola vs Pepsi, to which I must say that Coke is less sweet... but Pepsi tastes more like European Cola candies, so it wins in my book. I am a slave to the cola-flavored candy.

    My post was mainly done because of how contradicting Glenn’s was.

    Due to many large sofubi group shows across the globe last year we won’t be holding SVM4...

    Then Billy Mays come in with the “but wait there’s more...

    Maybe we’ll see you guys at another SVM shows in the future.

    I mean do it or don’t? So what there is multiple group shows, like you said doubt there’s many going on in Australia. Hell even if there was, what’s wrong with a little competition? Seems like there is other factors involved, Hell he even said it to start this thread. Wants to conversate of past drama and such, yet doesn’t want to air out his own trials.

    Literally this is a call out thread, yet salty feelings when it happens. It’s comedic.

    Ok ok enough of the bullshit.. sounds like you guys over in USA have made up your own stories about what happened in SVM3 so I guess I better set the record straight. @hellointerloper is living up to her M.O. and has apparently created some delusional fantasyland story in her own head about things blowing up in people's faces and it sounds like rumors were running through Dcon last year (crazy that a little exhibit from down under is the talk of the town.. I'm blushing) so here's the real deal if you can handle it.

    Nothing blew up in anybody's face at SVM3 - as always it was a smoothly run show and all of the artists were happy with how things were run. However, some of the fans who turned up decided to take advantage of our rules (5 toys/1 per artist round by round) by having "family members" pose in line with them. We didn't catch on until after purchases were made and realized someone ended up with half of the Gargamel toys, taking away the chance from fans who travelled from interstate to get a piece of Gargamel as well. This happened with other artists as well. There were also instances of a group, possibly the same group making some pretty vile comments about other collectors in the line-up overnight. These comments were made in mandarin which they were seemingly unaware other members of the line could understand as well. There was also that time a group of "fans" came in asking to join the Refreshment lottery all saying to my face how much they love Nag and Refreshment and they are huge fans who would love the toy in their homes... when I asked to see their instagrams, somehow all six or so of them had the same screenshot of somebody else's instagram with a photo of a Cuppy in a backyard. Pulling tricks like that is just a shitty move.

    It doesn't sound like much after typing these things out but they were offensive and irritating as fuck at the time. Also I would like to try and work on some other projects this year after spending three years organizing the exhibits. All of this was done outside of my regular job and every year I have lost chunks of money through offering cheap shipping on leftover pieces to international fans etc. I'd like to have a little spare change in my pockets at the end of this year.

    It's not about competition - it's about allowing time for the artists to breath. If you were an artist being asked to participate in a sofubi group show 6 times a year, imagine how exhausting that would be in addition to events like Superfestival and Dcon, in addition to the primary method of website drops/lotteries. Just goes to show how self-centered your thought process seems to be at times. A lot of artists consider SVM to be the best run sofubi show out there and would happily participate in SVM4.. but it's a balancing act because right now the scene seems to be over-saturated in many ways so we are stepping back for a little bit.
