Man, this has turned into such a negative vibes thread. 99.9% of what I see here just makes my blood pressure rise. That's why I don't check this thread as much as I used to anymore. Us paying customers just keep getting 'dissed over, and over, and over again. This is just not good. Not good at all... }|

Look how they've made you look right now. Just do like the rest of us, and take everything HLPro tells you with a grain of salt. Take note from the Miracle Production thread... }D

that was PBM.. I got PBM a account at acme. He was out of the 24" so I got the diecast Blacki mothership instead..
I have never really done any business directly with HLpro I just talk with a few of he guys on the team.. but its mostly about other sh*t, its not about robots.
Im not sure if I have done PR for them, hahah there is only like 5 or 6 guys that even comment on this thread .

Check out this store, they are building it right now. Wow its Nerds r' Us !! Wow I wish him all the luck,but does that kind of stuff sell? Im sure the vintage action figures and stuff at ACME sells huge,but high end overpriced prints and modern uber SciFi decorations marketed as art culture? I bet they make all the money from the Magik cards kids,LOL. I just dont see money in what hes doing..unless hes selling toys/comics too,but it seems like teh audience is mall kids?

I guess if its in the right area..Disney etc..I know if it was in the local mall of middle class America it would be out of business in a month.

Im not sure if I have done PR for them, hahah there is only like 5 or 6 guys that even comment on this thread . The thread has 101,892 views. That's a lot for 5 or 6 guys. Not everyone that reads it has to post comments. And we are not getting hostile. You may look at it that way because you probably don't care as much as we. Just like if it was a souped-up motorcycle forum, and I was there because I found motorcycles somewhat interesting. I would not care if motorcycle high performance parts and components builders would tell their customers one thing and then kept changing their course every other week. I wouldn't blink an eye if they promised to make a 15 pound "crotch rocket" that could hit 300 MPH in 3 seconds, with an MSRP of $100 dollars (because Warren Buffet would pay for the difference), to be released within a year, and then kept altering the deal over and over again. Folks would be furious of being jerked around like fools. Well, the same applies here. Yeah, I've also been very careful about not giving away any more free advise as well. I decided to keep the downfalls in their figures as vague as I can... just like a kid. I'll just comment stuff like "it sucks" or "definitely not Bandai", instead of pointing out items that could be made better and more appealing to potential buyers. If that will matter or not, doesn't matter. But sure feels good on this end. }D

Let's give Tom a break, we are all very passionate about this hobby and at the same time Tom has connections to HLPRO which turns him into a lightening rod since he is the only one we can b*tch at. Let's not forget Tom is a collector to and is giving us tips and info because he wants to not because he has to, sure he's a huge fan of the company but when did being a fan of something and supporting it become a bad thing.

November now... Good thing I stopped caring about it ever being released. But it still burns my gonads when entities keep pushing releases back for no reason at all. If it is ready, go ahead and release it. I bet enough of them have been pre-sold by now, and the people that purchased them would like to have what they paid for already... }|

Yes Chen,but he also holds it over our heads,if we say anything against the company he threatens to leave,just like HLPro does with their Facebook account......btw Tom do even you consider yourself a collector? Just curious,you only post on this thread ,Ive never seen you anywhere else in this community besides this thread,you dont buy anything other than HLPro besides the 2 or 3 bandai things you own.Im being serious...are you a collector or consider yourself one? You also pointed out not having time for here or toys because you go cycling with your friends or whatever this time of year.Im really unsure of your motives,as to why you even are here,your certainly not thrilled with "the two of us" who you say are the only ones you talk to,or the other 4 guys you think are listening here..sure you review the toys once a year when one comes out from HLPro..but your definately not an active part of the community here as a whole,or even this section of the forum,JUST this thread .. I like having you here,but im not really sure where you stand?Sorry if this comes off the wrong way,but i am being genuine..

yeah I comment on things that catch my attention every now and then but most of what is out there right now doesn't really interest me. I consider myself a collector but Im not a "rabid" collector, collecting robots is not my number one thing. I am WAAAY more into motorcycles.. I got sh*t going on in the background that you wouldn't understand. I got two motorcycles that Ive put a lot of work into that I don't want to let go of but the EBR 1190RX came out and my local Harley Davidson dealership twisted my arm into taking a test ride.. all I can say is DAMN~ its the same size and weight as my XB9SX but puts out 185hp and around 100lb-ft of torque. It was just utterly seductive... Im just sitting here looking at that price tag... that's the problem man.. that price tag. If I sold both the bikes I have now I could afford it.. but Im worried that my life expectancy would dramatically decrease if I bought that bad motherfuker. I am getting to the age where its not as easy to recover from a bad lowside or highside at the speeds I would be temped to ride at on that thing... wiping out at 60? Yeah I just did that a year ago.. but wiping out at 160??... naw I probably wouldn't come back from that at my age.
