the vynsane asylum

The thrill of the hunt has always been there. I was as happy finding Princess Leia back in the day as I was finding the Hoth Wave a couple of months ago. That's what keeps me going, even more than the figures themselves.

What it really boils down to is this: IF you choose to buy the figure, you're choosing to "vote for its acceptability". What I mean is this: Hasbro can pump out Commtech Han after Commtech Han.... because people WILL still buy them. The only way to truly try and effect change is to only buy products that are acceptable to you. Problem is, for completists (like me, sadly) a piece of shit stained toilet paper inside a basic SW figure package gets my $10.

I wish I could shake it, but I can't. Just because I bitch about a particular figure (or an aspect there of) doesn't mean I don't still get a wee kick out of it. By and enlarge, there's some redeeming quality to every figure - even if it's only nostalgia.

Pissing and moaning will lead to your DOOM!!!

This was in the Q&A at GH and thought it was pretty funny

I saw much complaining about the Death Star Gunner's removable helmet around the web after we got to announce it here. Wow. Some people must really have awesome lives. Me, I've got other things to worry about so I guess I must've been blind to what a horrible thing Hasbro did by adding extra play value, detail, and accessories to a figure which could've just been a straight repack of a sculpt from 1996. I truly must work on my priorities.

When I get this one, the helmet won't be coming off.

Funny yes but it's only because he's no doubts one of the fanboys that wanted it and also one of them that just HAS to have EVERYTHING SA.

When it comes to Star Wars figures, it seems that you can't please anyone at any time.

Slick - I feel your pain, man. If the bitching is your pet peeve (oh, and I'm guessing it is ), you must be one frustrated white boy.

I love the gunner, by the way - just to combat some of the griping.

Now that the winners have been announced, the thread is getting even funnier. First, they bitch because there are no EU figures. Now that they're getting one, they're bitching because it's the wrong one. Fucking hilarious!

The only reason I read some of that crap is because I'm a little bored at work. I tried to help Chux get the whole thread off topic with the GI Joe thing.

That's the exact same reason I'm even wasting my time with it.

That place is getting pathetic. And has anyone else noticed that Tycho is even further off his rocker than normal?

Yes, but I didn't want to start bitching about him again. I like how he blames the drop in Hasbro's stock on the Custom Choppers, figure case assortments, and lack of SW playsets.

yeah, but i'm not sure whether it's related to his medical problems... didn't he have a brain hemmorage or something?

I think were it related to his medical condition, it'd be more like: "asfdleeip fdj pjire fdd fd", not well formulated hypotheses on Hasbro's floundering stocks. I can't even bring myself to read his posts.

I do, however, look forward to the snarkiness that, for some reason, always seems to come from the denizens of this place. That G.I. Joe shit is killin' me.

I'm going to keep posting wierd off-topic stuff in that thread. How long will it be until someone tells me to stop?

Ain't gonna be me. I'm going to make a crack about Revan obviously being a laird of Clan Destro soon.

I aint telling anyne to stop. I think its damn funny. I said my peace on the EU crap and I am done.

I get the feeling I'm being ignored over there. I've even been putting links to yojoe.com to show the similarities.
