I think Mishka could've went without posting the pic.... Just release the figure, and wait for people to post it in the 'What you just got in the mail' thread. People, would freak out just as much and ask even more questions. Mishka conducts a secret sale without receiving any flak, plus all the publicity afterwards. The best hype is when the fans do the hyping.
That is totally me right now, except I hate the fucking Yankees. Make mine a Keep Watch! Ghost Mother F-ing Cave!
This was a new release. Me posting it did not include a link for sale or anything. I was posting a new release. I didnt jack up the price at all. Ask Brian how much he adds to the wholesale cost as he tries to run his business. You continually show your lack of ignorance for the wholesale/retail business model.
I do understand the model very well. For years, many portions of that model were rejected on this board in support of taking care of the community here. The banks in the US use a model too, and look were it is now getting them. I personally have no problem with the price, just how it was conducted. Just posting a picture, then asking if people go an email is hyping a sale if placed in an info thread with no more info, even after the sell out of the toy. Why not ask Gargamel if they would expand their release, or have a second release, then conduct a lottery here (or through your list) for the additional figures? You could charge the same price, or even more if your model costs change, but that would be more fair. Why? Because then serious Gargamel collectors would have a chance. The limit on the release to 10, the lowest number of any multiple release that I am aware of for a standard Zag figure, distorts the demand because then many people who might not otherwise buy the toy are going to buy it because it is limited, and thus more valuable because a set base of collectors will be hunting it later. I can only imagine how some of Gargamel's Japanese base will react to this news.
the mishka kaiju e-mail list has been public knowledge for a long time greg posted a pic of the zag, then gave a heads up for people to check their e-mails your complaints are unjustified. basically you are just whining because you didn't get one
Fucking Christ, get the hell over it! To react like this is ridiculous, I missed out too. Who fucking cares? Don't ruin this thread of amazing toys with stupid bull shit like this. Give me a break. One will pop up and you will be able to find it. Seriously, this list is public knowledge and has been. This kind of shit is the reason I have been away from the boards lately. We're talking about toys. I hate the dramatics. This is supposed to be about having fun and child like excitement over vinyl in the shapes of cool monsters. I won't post anymore aggressive posts like this. I just can't stand how ridiculous I think this is.
It's supposed to be about fun swapping and sharing and helping each other learn more about this thing we are all really into... If you want something be patient and good toy karma will come your way... Don't let the hatred make ya teeth hank... They hate therefore they are its a sad way to be... Oh and KREAM .... Kaiju rules everything around me Kream! Get the hedo!! new colorway ya'll!
It always does! I knew f*ck all about any Mishka list but a twisted and cynical old OG gave me the heads up . . . and bless him for it!
So true!!! I don't think I threw a fit though, did I? I may have however PMed the person who got it quite a few ridiculous offers with no success.
I usually just smile if I read something funny, but this made me lol Anyways... Here is a one off by Bwana that came in the mail recently. It's by Gargamel, not quite sure of the toy's name, but Bwana did call it "Doranegon" and "Kitty" lol. I'm guessing it's "Doranegon" : P.S. - Sorry for my lovely cell phone pics.. I'll eventually try to take some better camera shots:
SERIOUSLY WTF AM I READING! sorry for the ALL CAPS, but i was sitting at my desk at work started to read all the bitching about a release... and then decided i'd stop after the first few posts... really? you missed a release... go cry in the fucking car... you win some, you lose some... SHIT
