So know that myself and others have much respect and no disdain for any of you. Why? Because you are all passionate fans and human beings. Disliking fellow humans (and geek community members) simply because they may not like something just isn't worth it and makes no logical sense.
Our passions get the better of us sometimes and we interact forgetting how we would treat a human if they were in front of us. I know I get that way sometimes on here. I don't chat with you that often but I have read the majority of your posts. I have to say thank you for not taking it personally and for always being professional when you respond, even though sometimes we do not do the same.

I honestly don't have the answer at this time as those decisions are made by by another team within the company. I can generally say that for any product the reasons why certain accessories, etc aren't included will vary...SRP would end up too high if everything were to be included, XYZ didn't get approved, mass producing XYZ just wouldn't be feasible (example: Alien Queen Diorama that from MANY years ago).

No need to apologize Alex. I wasn't referring to transparency surrounding why she wasn't on the live show, even though my post may have sounded that way.

My comment about transparency with customer issues was about what these two posts describe. I won't repeat it again, as they've done a perfect job explaining.

Only buy what you love, because if you settle, what you don't like will bother you more and more over time, especially when a new one gets inevtiably released that you like better than the one you have.
Man is this the best statement ever..How many times has this has happen well i like it but...Then buy it anyway! This will slow down now because of ever rising prices..No more 2nd guesses.. This with that base and the head not in right scale with the body..PASS! Sorry sideshow your losing money making these bad choices, Captain America ...really? list goes on and on..

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Almost everyone was ragging on the 1st portrait, then it grew on them. I like this new one. It's more Jim Lee 'ish. Let it grow on ya. 2nd best Psylocke in my book. Complaining at this point is futile. Look at that price...

Actually, a lot of people in this very thread were not ragging on it and loved it. Some even fully admitted they were wrong after seeing it at SDCC.

But, I agree with you. I'm all complained out, as it won't do a damn bit of good anyway.

I gotta say, the new one is actually growing on me. For some reason it seems like they chose the absolute worst photo to use when revealing BOTH portraits- it looks pretty good in a lot of the other pics. I think if they just came out of the gate with this one no one would've had an issue with it. I do think the Psychic blade would be better if it was more transparent.
