My whine.

See this is why the "Bullmarks are ugly" shtick doesn't work, at least for me. I LIKE the MonsterArts. They're cool toys. I have Godzilla and Mechagodzilla and will probably buy the Space Godzilla eventually. I have no issue with these.

You don't make it seem like that. I don't recall reading a post of praise from you, EXCEPT when they weren't released.

What I DO have an issue with (and a lot of other people do as well) is the overdone (and in my opinion) played out level of hype this series is getting. People are seriously losing their shit over these toys. That one guy who lives and breathes these toys over at Club Tokyo, despite never spending his own money on them and only getting a MG through a contest, is a good example of how weird this all feels to me.

One person on a board that's not here. Wow, talk about a majority!

They are cool. I like them more than the Bandai vinyls that I own. If I didn't think they'd expand past the first four figures, I wouldn't have bought the Bandai Destoroyah that I did. Knowing that something that is better for me will be released sometime in the future, and I go ahead and buy something less than what I want kinda rustles my jimmies a bit. Of course, I'm collecting for different reasons than everyone else on this board, you have to take that into consideration.

1.Then there's this rabid belief that we'll get everything our hearts desire from this line, which is somewhat tolerable until the person who says "Now back up a minute..." suddenly gets attacked for not wishing for the moon and the stars. 2And of course this sudden knee-jerk "I don't need vinyls anymore! MonsterArts is here!" reaction that seems to get worse every week is disconcerting to anyone who has spent a lifetime collecting vinyl. 3I personally think people who are getting pissed at me for saying what I feel and being vocal about it just don't understand my point of view.

1. I don't think anyone thinks we're getting everything. However, its clear Tamashii wants to treat the Godzilla portion, or the entire line, similar to their D-Arts (Mega Man portion) and FiguArts (DBZ portion) lines. I don't care about what can be said about Bandai. No Bandai rep has (to my knowledge) made a facebook page that wanted to know what the people want, nor has anyone at Bandai made an account on here to see what we want.

We get a chance to vote for a figure to get made. One, that the fans want. Hell, Biollante may get chosen, G2K might be, maybe Orga or Titano. If we want it, we can get.

Save yourself from posting a retort that Bandai is super careful with Godzilla. I think every person that took a peek into the Survey thread knows what you'll say.


2. Why? You're not losing anything. Some of the more stylized figures I think are interesting, but if I said how I felt, I may as well just quote RZK. Here's an idea for you, though.

I like some Marmits, Gigabrains, etc, etc... I also like X-Plus. I don't own figures from any of those lines. I take part in the X-Plus thread, and am a member of the X-Plus group on facebook. No one, that I see, is as, some would say, hostile towards others as those from the former groups. I would LOVE to chew the fat with some in the Collector's Group or even so on here, but God forbid I post anything against them. [sarcasm] I mean, it doesn't make sense. They're really old toys and deserve respect, so why should a negative opinion bog it down?[/sarcasm]

Point is, not everyone is selling their vinyls off that participate in this line. Those that do... Why should you care? Losing people to talk with over the new lines? As I said, I'd be fine talking about the other lines that I may not find too appealing, because I do like some, but I'd rather not try to be the sheep in wolves clothing trying to hang out with wolves.

3. No, we do. We understand, you feel... Threatened (?) by a toy line. We (all should) understand your method.... But you need more of a method to justify your madness.

And I just read the "schtick" post you made. The only thing I have to say is good job paying it forward.

[tymon]

Again, despite a few isolated incidents, I honestly don't feel that much negativity on this board. Its the internet, people are bound to be cynical and argumentative its just the way it works. Compared to alot of other forums and boards I've been a part of TK is rather civil.

Interesting that everyone always says this. I've been on forums since I was 10 and TK is easily the most juvenile when it comes to opinions. And no, people are not "bound" to be cynical or argumentative simply because its the internet. Take Sevenstring.org (a guitar forum) for example..those motherfuckers get along, hell even the Politics & Current Events subforum is generally flame-free. You don't really hear stupid shit like "I can't believe you're selling your Ibanez for a Peavey! Don't treat Ibanez like second class citizens!", because posters there are able to grasp the concept of subjectivity and don't go out of their way to start flamewars over such trivial bullshit.

Still, I love you guys. And of course I love all the ridiculous TK soap operas, otherwise I wouldn't ever read this thread. "As the Kingdom turns.."

My whine.

Take me with you. I enjoy hilarious hostility, but this hostility stopped being hilarious a while ago.

Oh my god have my babies.

I have a similar problem in real life. My uncle lives with me, and coaxed me into getting a Fender strat. I like it, but the sound isn't exactly what I want, so I got a Schecter 006 deluxe. Love it.

My uncle bugs me everyone once in a while that I should give my Fender the respect it deserves. He's a big time old school fan. Old cars, old watches, old guitars, old everything. Yeah, okay, Fender may make guitars that appeal to some people, but not entirely to everyone. My Fender gives me some sound that I want, but not the roar my Schecter can. So my Fender has been in its case for, effectively... Months, only to be taken out about once a week to be checked to be sure everything is working and to give it a few strums.

So, yeah. Hopefully this can help explain a bit more.

Maybe I just have a bad choice in choosing my forums, and this one looks good in comparison. Or maybe I'm being too self focused.

I disagree. I've been to a number of forums FAR worse than TK. Of course, I've been to a number that are a thousand times better as well. But TK is hardly the worst or most juvenille forum out there. It's about on the level of Youtube comment sections, which is to say, about average for the internet. Seymour Duncan User Group Forums are the absolute worst I've ever been to. Tons of condescending assholes there who refuse to give you the slightest bit of advice on pickups. God forbid you're a fan of Schecters or the SD Invader. Of course, on the other end of the spectrum is dfoggknives.com, a message board for metalworkers (primarily bladesmiths). Those are the friendliest bunch of guys I've ever seen on the internet. I'm not a member there, yet.

[GojiFan]

This thread has gotten quite ridiculous.

[kaiju_wars]

The hell happened since I been gone... All this drama (again) in less than 24 hours.

That's my whine.

[Hedorah]

Basically all you missed was a lot of bitching about plastic intended for children

[TokyoVigilante]

Who the skreeonk bothers to come into a thread and complain about drama in a specific niche part of the forum that you're not apart of?

Holy shit. Band wagon much?

Lets see, I have a couple of reasons... I will name them,

1. Because I have the right, you don't like it, take it to the US Constitution.
2. Because I feel like it
3. I'm bored.

Oh I don't know, me posting an innocent post seems to bother you. If you are angry about it, don't be, this is the internet.

This is the interesting thing...

The First Amendment really doesn't apply here. I can delete you posts whenever I feel like it...

I find it funny how people say the First Amendment can be expressed on forums. The moderators and owners have the right to censor and delete what they see necessary. And it doesn't violate the Constitution.

[GotengoXGodzilla]

Because I have the right, you don't like it, take it to the US Constitution.

...Except that the internet isn't part of the United States. The internet isn't protected by the Constitution. You have no legal rights on the internet.

If you are angry about it, don't be, this is the internet.

You gotta love the hypocrisy in this statement. You tell him not to get angry, because it's the internet, yet within the same post, you get angry over something someone else said over the internet, and start telling him you have a constitutional right to do so (which you don't).

[yaburu]

Gotta say, I'm really losing my tolerance for "this is the internet, deal with it!" Shield people like to use. Yeah it's the skreeonk internet, that solitary fact does NOT however give you carte blanche to act like a twat.

[kaiju_wars]

At SS4G... it was a joke..

At GXG again, it was a joke...

Oh well, I will just wait till someone rents a sense of humor.

I'm done now.

Now, lets get this show back on the road.

It's about as annoying as saying "It was a joke!" afterwards.....
