But until SS improves their QC into the 90%+ range, starts matching their prototypes better and stops raising prices every few months, will probably see the same chatter with every new release...

I guess we could start threads that say "Positive comments Only" (((shrug)))
Those threads would probably only hit 2-3 pages.

9 years is too long. You're missing loads of stuff, and they used to post upfront edition sizes regularly up until around 2013/2014. Stuff like the Batman PF initially sold super fast and the waitlist was even cancelled.

I do take your point, but the common denominator is upfront edition sizes. Obviously, something can't sell out while it's TBD, and most of SS's pieces are TBD for 6+ weeks, so it's by Sideshow's own design that pieces don't sell out fast.

If someone is not smart and knows they're not smart, does that make them smart? What if someone is smart but doesn't know they're smart, and that makes them act not smart; are they still smart?

Very interesting questions! Let me try my hand at these...

If someone is not smart and knows they're not smart, does that make them smart?

The acknowledgement of a limitation does not provide you access or any proclivity beyond said limitation. Being smart has nothing to do with acceptance. It is only a reality check. But perhaps it offers an opportunity to remedy the situation? And THAT is where the road to being smart is paved.

What if someone is smart but doesn't know they're smart, and that makes them act not smart; are they still smart?

Not recognizing one's potential is just not smart. Be smart. Or recognize you are not and try and walk down that paved or sometimes unpaved road.

Thanks for reading.

John: I'm so smart
Jane: I'm smarter than you
John: I'm the most smarter
Jane: I'm even smarter than that
John: I'm the smartest in all the lands
Jane: I'm the smartest in all the lands AND all the heavens

That's a daily conservation between my 9 and 10 year old. Who knew I'd witness the same conversation between adults. Fascinating stuff!

Perhaps you should stick to that level of conservation? Or is it conversation?

Anyways, so whose buying the Rebel PF?!

I hate everything about this statue and design. Just my two cents.

Portrait kind of reminds of the actress that played the original Black Canary on Arrow.
