JAGOFF = WATCH ANY JOE PESCI MOVIE...

 

Ah, yes.......Joe Pesci movies. The hallmark of high-culture cinema......

Ok defend Mattel. That's your right.

So your calling me a troll? Why? Cuz I have a vejw differnt from you that I voiced?

I'm ok not getting the monkey but what of the others? If you support a company don't you hope they in turn listen to you? Obviously guys on the he man boards would be more understanding.

 

First of all Gator, I never said I was defending Mattel. Mistakes have been made but you make it sound like it's just exclusive to Mattel. Nobody seems to remember that Marvel Legends basically skipped four waves of figures, missing out on Deadpool, Juggernaut, Phoenix, Apocalypse, Vision, Hawkeye, etc. as we sucked on Beast, Elektra, Punisher and Gambit. Don't even get me started on the QC. These problems are nothing new.

 

Secondly you're a troll because made it sound like you sat in line for three days and on the fourth day you got turned away when in fact all you did was create controversy for no good reason. If you were actually there it'd be one thing but you weren't, at least degra said "Well I heard...". I read about Vietnam too but I have no idea what it feels like to fight in the jungle. So if anybody was actually there feel free to tell us what went down.

 

As for this whole Gleek thing? I've said it many times: If you're going to cry foul over an exclusive accessory-and that's all it is-then you need to get a life. I miss out on SSC exclusive accessories all the time but somehow the sun keeps rising every morning.

 

 

In regards to the VN issue, my folks were from vietnam and were brought to the us after the war ended They were middle age when they left

 

Even after all this, I have no idea how it feels to live Vietnam so l concur with cjflan

 

i have no idea what your talking abot.

 

but Vietnam is one of my favorite spots. Thailand is fun too and more to do, but the Veitnamese are generally nicer and genuinelly happy to meet you

 

What we're discussing is you said in an earlier post "I wasn't in Vietnam but I read all about it." I bet you read about outer space too but you have no idea what it feels like to walk on the moon. But you've said like 20 different things so who knows anymore.

 

Wait, l don't understand. Didn't he said he visiting Vietnam yet your quote of him mentions that he hasn't been there?

 

I haven't visited Vietnam either but l know that there are much more about it than what the travel guide

JAGOFF = WATCH ANY JOE PESCI MOVIE...

 

Ah, yes.......Joe Pesci movies. The hallmark of high-culture cinema......

 

You know what they're doin' Arrow? They're f****** you at the Con! First they tease you, then they f*** you! Never go to the Con!

[ARROW]

Well I was going to rag on pooda, Ares and Arrow but you know what, they were making sense.

Of course I make sense. What good would it do me to babble on incoherently ( and NOT use spell check as a matter of principle! He actually said this!!) like the OP??

 

Its actually astonishing that people don't realize that the opposite of complaining about things is to be serene and happy about things in life.

And people DEFEND their right to complain, as if its the better choice than the alternative!!!

[Doom Saber]

l am startin to think that this topic is made to troll around. l don't remember who said it but one poster said that the con gleek is the one he wants and that he won't be happy till he gets for regular price that one despite what have been said here.

 

I mean the whole argument is over an action figure. It seems very immature to get all angry over a figure that otherwise wouldn't be made because a lack of demand.

 

A few ppl here makes it appear that mattel went to their house, raped their sister, killed their parents and ran off with the gleek figure.

[Opticon]

As for this whole Gleek thing? I've said it many times: If you're going to cry foul over an exclusive accessory-and that's all it is-then you need to get a life. I miss out on SSC exclusive accessories all the time but somehow the sun keeps rising every morning.

I'd just like to point out that Gleek is more than just an accessory, he's a character and member of the team, and essential to the set in some eyes. Just saying.

 

And Jim Gordon is essential to my Hot Toys Dark Knight collection. I'm not holding my breath on that one.

I'd like to preface this reply by stating that i'm not at all familiar with the Hot Toys DK line, but a google search didnt turn up any results for gordon. So this is based on the assumption that a HT Gordon does exist yet. Sooo....

 

You can't get your Gordon because he hasnt been released. People cant get their Gleek because he was released in such limited quantites and only available in one place (SDCC). Not even close to the same argument.

 

That work?

Who cares? It's irrelevant at this point, but you can go back and read it to judge for yourself.

 

Basically the only thing Gator has said that makes sense is that Casino and Goodfellas are great movies.

Actually I'm not going to get Gordon because I believe (and I could be wrong) that they could not get the likeness rights to Gary Oldman. If that's true, no Gordon.

l think comparing gleek with the wm wave 5 figs or the sdcc ht ironman repaint is a better example.

At least mattel is not bad as sideshow where almost all the toys they made comes with an limited accessory that only the first 300 people who preorders the product gets;the limited accessory tends to be out of stock within a few hours the preorder goes up

And a Hot Toys Gordon will NEVER exist. So by following the definition that a lack of Gleek will ruin your DCUC collection my TDK collection is ruined also.

 

So theorize this: If Mattel just made a Wonder Twins set and never made Gleek, would it still be a complete Wonder Twins set?

l see your point but considerin that the tdk is doin well, who is to say that ht won't make a Gordan. If somebody thinks their dark knight figs are incompletel, they can always bash an unofficial TDK ht gordon by purchsin ht parts like the a slim ht truetype body and one of those custom heads to make it:

 

 

or you can even make your own rachel 1/6

It depends on the individual collector.

 

For me, I loathe the Superfriend cartoons with the twins-I just never liked them and I do not like Gleek to begin with. Seeking the twins for my collection like clamouring over Bat-mite--a character that was as annoying as Orko in MOTU--and voiced by the same actor , if I'm not mistaken. They are all characters that turned me off the shows they were in.

To that end, I would consider the set "complete" simply because I wouldn't care one way or the other.

To your other point, why don't people just buy a monkey, paint it blue and put a yellow shirt on it?

because they are too lazy

 

TTThhhen again, l would not be shocked if somebody recast gleek in the future though the original has to be taken apart. it would be a nono but rare things do get recast even if the recast would be more thn the original n be crappy compared to the original.

Because an empowered complainer cannot complain........or have any fun complaining in the process.
