I understand that you have a vested interest in keeping threads on track, however when the price is announced and a good portion of the posts are about the high pricing perhaps you should rethink your stance. The fact alone that you were there to counter my thread and follow it with a threat within moments of my posting shows some sort of over exuberance towards me, this line, company or something I cannot put my finger on. You may be a moderator but you seem to wield it with a bit more authority than is needed, especially on this topic and more so on the GG threads. If some other moderators could interject and take a look at what I said I am certain reason will show that I am not an unruly member of this internet community. Further more you might see that Hellboy is acting a bit unfairly/irrationally regarding this topic. Before he stepped in there was no nasty attacks or vicious name calling. In fact the only thing someone mentioned after Hellboy interjected was that I “implied the buyers of this statue were stupid” which was not my intent. People will always buy something over priced and excuse it for some reason. Like when your buddy gets a Beatles LP and you ask how much but they refuse to tell you…they acted foolish and spent more than they should have and they realize it.

well you asked for another moderator to step in and here I am. i am one of the original moderators here and will let you know that I would have banned you far more than others.
I've read your posts a few times to ensure i get your take on the matter. I agree the costs of collectible statues is on the rise and companies are trying to get as much as they can for them. That though is part of business.
I believe the main issue here is the fact you cannot post on the matter only once. you a repetitive to the extreme and that does get old for folks to read. This thread is meant to be talking about the statue itself. Yes cost is part of that but not the only contributing factor. Most members understand this is an expensive hobby, they want to know about the statue. In this thread I've found great comments on the quality, look and overall design. To me and many others that is what we want to know about.
Here is my suggestion, stop talking the same points. say it once and move on to another subject. Stop feeling you are being prosecuted by a moderator as well. As I said at the beginning I would have banned you for a lot longer than others. We see you have a passion for the hobby as we do, but when we only see you beating the dead horse all the time................ well it gets old. real old!
Here is my very rare warning. stop with the persecution crap and how they are costing to much statement. enjoy the forum for what it is intended for. Enjoying and sharing our hobby.
If that is to much to ask please let me know.
thanks and have a great day!
