Dropping...

The GID Pollard thread on KR was started back on March 17, 2007 right before the Killer Dragons event.

A KR member bumped it after checking Flopdoodle today.

In any event, if info was spread between boards it wasn't by me.

 

I bumped the KR topic (and some french forums and the limitedaddiction forum too) when I saw the GID pollard available at flopdoodle and I do not see why I should not have shared this information with other Tim Biskup fans.

Then I understand that you want to preserve the chances to get those items for the skullbrain forum members so for any infos of this kind posted on this forum I won't post it anywhere else.

 

I thought this board was started as a alternative/instead of/so we don't have to go to KR.....? Just my two cents...

 

So why shouldn't he have posted to other boards where other Biskup fans look? Because the people on this board identify with being RFSO? I know plenty of Biskup fans who don't like Kaiju but are fanatical about all his toys. Why shouldn't they have the same chance as everyone else. Especially if holmes just checked flopdoodle and didn't lift the post from here as he said (unless I misread it) Interested in feedback, as I am a little bewildered by the reaction.

 

I will tell it again: I was not aware of this post on the skullbrain board. I'm registered since last year but I do not often read it (now I will ) I was checking the flopdoodle site at least one time a day since they told us through the mailing list they will sell the GID big pollard online. Therefore when I saw them I post the info where Tim Biskup's fans are used to looking at.

I guess Tim wanted to keep those releases for Kaiju Fans and preserve the few ones available from flippers.

Anyway, if it is the way to do on this board, keep info for members, I'll respect that, no issues.

 

If they are hardcore fans why don't they check his site periodically to keep themselves up on the latest?...I aint trying to find out about Biskup or Kozik..or insert name here....but somebody always seems to be posting to let us know about some "special offers"..perhaps they should start Fan Clubs or Subscriber lists to let all their true fans know about their next exclusive release....

Does Super 7 get a cut off that since these artists are caking up off this site and the fact that mad people look here as a reference point....

Maybe we should have a toy maunfacturers forum so they could let us know whats going on and we don't miss out on the "special offers" that go on.. Maybe they could post sales reports ala' Kozik so we know how much they have made off us or how well a project went for them regardless if they sold or not....

I came here for Secret Base.....I know this is kinda unrelated to the Flopdoodle sale but didn't know where else to post it.

 

if you're inferring that an artist/manufacturer should be discouraged from giving this board a heads up on their stuff they know is highly sought after, you should be hit with a silly stick. even if it is not highly sought, i think those who are directly involved in making stuff should be encouraged to post and pimp their stuff in moderation

 

I, for one am extremely happy Biskup posted here.. Thanks TB!

 

Yup, so no matter what else happened, I can't hate. We should all be so glad he did.

 

*belch*

;scratches belly:


Tim rules.

to answer Cesar's question:

no, S7 gets no cut. I do , however by a lot of stuff from them, and Brian and Ramos buy stuff from me or we do cool trades.

I think you should start a 'non commercial' Secret base only forum and only allow
people that you like to post on it.

Then it could be 'pure'.

 

I'm sorry I missed out on the cool sales! Next time.

 

Wow i think everyone missed my point in different ways.. Cool!
My question was this:
Why were people giving Luffy a hard time for posting to the KR boards if he didn't even get the info from this board. I'm super stoked to be a part of the community but it seemed a little harsh to get down on Luffy for posting to KR.

It was killer of TB to post here and I can only hope I have the income available next time he notifies us of a sale. Hope I cleared up my statement if people misread it

 

Zing!

 

Look everybody.....that way....there goes the point.

 

I wanted to start posting in your forum...but apparently Amazon.com doesn't allow it....

Coincidentally, this was not directed at you Kozik....I was merely commenting on these people whining about the proper protocol involved when posting about shit and I thought it was just a little too serious and silly for that matter......Beyond that ...you can't say that you don't profit off this board and maybe, just maybe you are inspired to release more things based upon what you read off this forum...

example..."hey guys , I just talked to the dudes at (insert current hot toymaker here) and they said they would give me a doll to splatter red paint all over. If I pursued it , would anyone be interested in buying it? Make a list and paypal to......

People should be able to post about whatever they want...regardless if I like it or not...I do agree that it should be a little less "non commmercial"....I mean c'mon.....You pimp this board harder than anyone.....at least we can agree on that...

NEVER DIE SELL HARD

 

yes, toys are how I make my living, and this is the #1 meeting place for people that buy certain of those lines of toys.I also collect toys and buy as well as sell.



If i was a freelance carpenter i would probably spend all my time at a woodworking board or whatever.

So, I really dont understand whats 'wrong' with going direct to the source rather than through the filter of a commercial sales sight or ebay.

 

Since Tim posted it here I assumed he wanted to keep the sale fairly quiet.

It is the "American Idols" forum, theres a "Secret Base" here too, sometimes people even post about sales over there as well (Black Mummy thread for ex).

Why shouldn't artists let us know about releases here? This board has people who really enjoy Kaiju and imo a far smaller % of flippers than say KR.

As far as I'm concerned Tim did me a huge solid.

I had been trying for a Virus since March 17, it was not going to happen. Tim made it happen. What did he do wrong?

 

Hey Brian....can I get Hiddy's email address? Kozik is right for sure man!! Why the fuck am I buying from and supporting Super7 for putting me down in the first place...when I can go direct from the source and don't need you guys for shit? I am sure thats the reason why this board was started .........

 

if you go to Japan you can go to the secret base store and other stores and festivals and buy releaseas straight from them.

I myself have done that.

 

Wow, you are absolutely right ....and since we all have that luxury of being able to go there whenever we want, I guess anything I say is a moot point...You are completely right and win all arguments....A store in Japan you can actually go to? Secret Base has a store....? man what next....limited editions?

You win..... Kozik is King....Usagi-Gon es mas macho!!

 

dude, your trippin.

 

what the hell is going on now!? how and why has the Tim Biskup thred turned into the anti Kozik/SB thread? i personally dont buy Kozik toys but i think is super rad that he can make a living off them and that it is amazing that his fans get the chance to buy directly from him on here and talk directly to him about them! Rock on!

AND thanks so much biskup for comming on here to post about the stuff for sale! mmmmm pink!

 

bingo!
I'm surprised that some people did not understand such a simple thing.
(no offence, just my 2c)

 

Headfuck?
I don't get it...
