Firstly just wanted to note that I'm not a customer of Toybot Importz and I don't know the owner personally (although we may have crossed paths at one of the meetups I've been to in Sydney and have a connection on Twitter I am not a "friend").

I've gone back over the results and while actually I do have a correction to make, this company received the most votes from the voting pool and it was more than 10. The voting pool was smaller than it's been in a few years but I can't see any suspicious behavior. The same IP address didn't vote 10 times for instance.

Votes were spread across a lot of different retailers and for transparency the full list of sources that got votes is:

toybot importz 18%
Amazon 15%
thelittletoycompany 9%
OhMyPrimus 9%
RoboToyz 8%
Robotkingdom 8%
Saviour toys 5%
Hobbylink Japan 5%
BBTS 5%
Uncle Petes 3%
TBI 3%
Zing 2%
Toys and beyond 2%
Tftoys.com.au/Xin 2%
Tfsource 2%
TF toys 2%
Showz Store 2%
Popculcha 2%
eBay 2%
AmiAmi/HLJ 2%

Oh for the love of Primus. This is meant to be a feedback thread - the OzF awards are obvious feedback and everyone is complaining and questioning Paul’s results.

If you have been f’ed over by TBI you have my condolences. And for the record I’ve never done business with them so I voted for Amazon or HLJ- can’t remeber which (Paul I give you permission to confirm this via what otherwise should be a private vote). But you shouldn’t be questioning Paul who has been doing these votes for years and has the highest integrity.

But it couldn’t be more apparent there is now a witchhunt after this company. This Witch-hunt seems to seek, by connection, to attack anyone that has NOT had a negative experience. Bullying tactics by anyone’s standard.

Can you all just chill out and adhere to the instructions Griffin has given out TWICE now?

Just post feedback on your transaction if you had one, as visitors need to see the feedback posts, which end up getting buried in pages of debate.
Would make this thread valid for the rest of us again. Thank you.
