Fan outcry over Henkei Powered Commander.

[kup]

So these Transformers fans went to a Transformers con and got conned? And they're complaining...


sorry...


I understand the necessity for exclusives as a lure for fans to cons and as a way to release toys that wouldn't see retail release otherwise, but if a con is based around an exclusive then I query their entertainment value and motives.

If Fans Projects wanted to sell out then they would have re-released the Cliff Jumper set ages ago. They could easily create new molds. Unfortunately they've realised the hard way that the biggest problem with the fandom is the fans. Seen how the TFW2005 thread ended? Not pretty.

If they are going to create Transformers products then I hope they continue to do it for the right reasons: themselves.

I read the last couple of pages and now I think I have given myself brain damage. Its so ridiculous and stupid. Some are even going all religious about moral values and a lot of morons trying to take the moral high ground when they are clearly more upset at their toy not being as rare and expensive as they thought than anything else.

The good thing is that there is really no more than a minority of people carrying on against Fan Projects but they are are posting such frequent and outrageous rants that its as if Fan Projects has stolen their money or something.

Unfortunately those sorts of people do plague the US boards a fair bit but although they are vocal and frequent posters, they are not that many.
