Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

In fact I did't blame anyone, my post was strictly about me and my orders.

Yours was about me pom pomming, instead.

Smart move, and I really mean it.
A bit selfish, thought, as if everyone played like you did, there would not be statues to buy later on, let alone at discount. You're simply dropping the risk on people keeping the orders (and PCS) alive.
But, hey, working in finance I totally understand your move, money is money, minimum risk, maximum (potential) reward.

That pom pom comment was more directed to some of the posts on the FB group.

Ya pretty much, don't give a crap about anyone else's finances but my own.

Goro and Kahn on throne were the only two I kept. The rest should be really easy to reacquire.

No more selfish than yourself spending, or expecting others to keep invested, hundreds of dollars to get yourself some overgrown toys.

Yeah Chris you think maybe that is why they call them personal finances? Weird, huh?

I agree my friend. Just wait they will be made eventually. Goodluck with PCS

Eh just the whole week of blaming customers. The connotations that this mess is the moral fault of people canceling orders.
I'm sick of it.

If too many people cancel and a statue gets canceled but everyone gets a refund then then that's all I can expect and that is the standard to which I hold the company responsible.

If the company can't give back the money then I still blame the company. Managing company risk and finances is a company responsibility not an ethical obligation of other customers. Simple.

Other than that and getting a bad statue delivered it's a good Saturday. Cool outside, I like it.
