Some companies send production samples and don't ask for them back. Most youtubers either keep those or use them for giveaways to promote their channel.
Tweeterhead sent me a few prototypes, and those definintely had to be shipped back, as they were used as paint samples at the factory.

Nearmint, i am still laughing with Flankster. Flankster getting stuff to "review" is a sign where this hobby has fallen.
Check comments by guys
Nice Iron studios gave you anither $900
and Flankster puts a smiley
or another guy asking him "I didn't think you bought comic related statues?"
Flankster answers. "I don't"
Another video (again an Iron Studios piece)
"Nice did they send this to you?"
Flankster frankly answers "Yes"
nearmint, you can ask other Tubers to jointly talk about retailers not giving statues or figures to collectors, not answering to emails, not giving their money back etc.
It would be a good step and would show that you/we are also with the "little guy" and the community WON'T ACCEPT retailers (NOT Sideshow, i repeat) fooling fellow collectors and treating them badly.
This behaviour is unacceptable.
The everyday collector made the 1st step and he got attacked by hordes.
Time to get the torch and continue this discussion.
