So this guy had a paint issue with two Bowen statues and now all Bowen statues are sucky quality. Nice bit of logic.

What I do care about are consumers like myself paying a hefty price for various assets by numerous companies in the last several years. Here are some small examples, Xbox 360 fail rates, a company taking an OPPO blu-ray player and putting a new case around it and charging $3,000 more for it, Windows vista, Toyota and so on. This is no different than Bowen making statue’s that are not as good as companies doing the same thing. I find it even sadder that SS was used as a comparison, they have shown that their product quality has issues throughout their entire line-up. What this really comes down to is supporting each other as consumers, if none of us stand for such tomfoolery then companies will have to adjust the way they conduct business, we are the ones that make all of this happen (by that I mean the economic machine). So before someone else on this site decides to defend some company that does not have our best interest at heart, think about what I am saying.

Every company has issues. What inevitably sets one company apart from the next is how it deals with controversy. Those more inclined to think long term will likely endeavor to address and improve things as things come up (or at least appear to).
I'm not necessarily making comparisons between BD and SS as fans appear to swear by both regardless of whatever argument might be presented. All this to say that no one is forcing anyone to spend their money on anything.

point is, while bowen statues have gone up in price, ss prices have gone up even more based on the same scale both companies have always made. scale is irrelevant. percentage of increase is.

great another Bowen / SS pissing contest
Gets old real quick
All this beacuse items were left in water for 2 days that were not designed to be left in water for 2 days.
Yeah is sucks, but statues were not desinged to submerged underwater for long periods of time. And lets face it we are not talking tap water here.

A thread of 10 pages long summed in one sentence.
And it doesn't even need a sumo picture to be precise.
