Transformers Venting thread!

Friggin BBTS!

They sent an email saying that the next RID wave (Windblade, Blurr & Soundwave) would be in within the next 10 days so I delayed having my POL shipped. This was on the 23rd of Feb.

On the 20th of March I emailed them asking how much longer. They apologised, said they only got a partial shipment in to fill some of the preorders but the other shipment should arrive in the near future.

I emailed back asking did that mean days, weeks or months as it was a very vauge answer.

They emailed back saying they couldn;t be more specific and to give me an exact date would be misleading and they (the dude writing it) respects me too much for that.

Respects me too much?! I'm just some dude writing an email asking when his toys are going to arrive! Respecting someone is not the same as being respectful. If he had said "it would be disrespectful to mislead you with a date" I could have accepted that. Saying he "respects me too much" when he doesn't even know me is just blowing a lot of hot air up my arse

They now have a 'rate my answer' option so I pretty much said so in my response to that.

Had TR Voyager Megatron for less than 24hours, the stickers on the wings are already falling off!

The recent rash of stickery bots with dodgey stickers has to be an opening for Reprolables to do full replacement sets.

Stickers are something that Transformers moved away from in 1996, replacing it with more highly detailed sculpting and superior paint applications. It's nothing more than a cost-cutting measure.

That's pretty patronising.

I realise that person might think they're being polite, but.... lol. He probably could care less about the problem

(I'm making a joke about there about people not understanding some phrases and usage. )

The one that I find myself hesitant to use is "Do you mind ~~" I've met so many people that use it incorrectly. I've been asked, "Do you mind if I (sit here/use this etc etc) and I answer, "No." They assume I don't want them using/ sitting etc. Get offended and leave. Well, if you're going to be offended, don't ask the question like that.

BTW, that usually happened in Australia...

I lost my CYB Shortround. Don't suppose anyone has a spare?

TakaraTomy have pushed back their MP Artfire again, so now it won't be out before my 60 days at HLJ ends.
It was originally listed for May 9th, then it was pushed back to May 19th.. now it is May 26th.
My 60 days at HLJ is May 24th, so now it won't be released before they automatically ship my oldest items... and even if MP Artfire gets charged on May 24th, it still wouldn't be in the "warehouse" before they automatically send my 60 day items.

And to make it even more annoying, I didn't ship my MP Megatron in early April because I wanted to wait until MP Artfire and Legends Godbomber were released, as they were both originally listed within my 60 day window.
Then when both were pushed back about a week, Godbomber was going to miss my 60 day window, I was annoyed, but still okay with Artfire making it... now that both will miss my 60 days, it's REALLY annoying, because I could have had my MP Megatron 5 weeks ago if I had known these two toys were going to be pushed back (I had no pre-order items for April after Megatron on the 1st).

Now to send my items out... and just hope that MP Artfire doesn't get released before May 24th at HLJ.
