The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

These don't even qualify as bad pictures or pictures of the statue itself. It's in the box with a plastic bag over the majority of it camera phone closeups.

So I'm not waiting for a professional photographer, I'm waiting for good pics of the statue all set up.

Exaggerate much?

Nobody is saying they want "touched up" photos either, just photos taken in a more ideal setting comparable to the pics of the proto being used as a comparison. You know, fully setup, at the same angle, etc. You don't need to be a professional photographer to get that either.

I don't hate GG, or any other producer. Like anyone who endures a 9-5 job, has a family, and needs to consider what they spend their cash on, I want value for money and customer satisfaction.

I want companies to feel privileged if I (or anyone else) spends our hard earned at their door, and not like they're doing me a favour. I want companies to consider what they bring to market and make good when they screw up. I want that, if I entrust a company with a portion of the final cost (deposit) and there are significant delays, that they are open with me and manage my expectations.

Tell me, as one collector to another, am I asking for too much?
