yikes!

remind me not to be nice/generous at SDCC

this is from the guy who won the lottery prize at last weeks show. Lovely, maybe he will get a [expletive deleted] for it.

 

FYI, the Gargamel wax dogtags i won will never be flipped! EVER! RFSO 4 LIFE!!

 

Man I haven't even seen PICS of the shortpack, wtf?

 

Ouch, that's got to sting a little.

Where was that posted?

 

it was posted on KR

 

was it this guy with the red shirt? Isn't he holding it?

 

Wow, how appreciative.

Here's the picture he posted too:

 

Astro Boy sure feels the shame of it all!

 

very funny toybot. that is me with the red shirt and bald head

 

Hey, Rhino -- can you post a pic of the dogtags?

 

no prob. i will when i get home.

anyone get a chase hedolan? i'd really like to see a pic. i didn't get one but i did get a cool normal one

btw, that really isn't me. i don't look like a poor man's dick vitale

 

I scored a chase but I lost my SD card so no pictures yet.

 

How different is it? Like a big difference to the original?

 

Even booska looks shocked !

 

I'm confused. People say that people can whatever they want with toys that they own. Smear paint on them. Have someone else smear paint on them. Whatever.

So isn't this just another example of that?

 

It's not that it's wrong per se- it's just sort of depressing to see someone win a beautiful Koji custom and turn it around and hawk it at KR.

I think customizing is little different, too, because it shows an appreciation for the sculpt and artistry of the piece.

 

What a dick! The fucked up part is Brian was the first name to get picked for the grand prize, he declined so a "fan" could get it, then Isaac's lady, same dealio and the Glenn was picked, who also declined coz he got a chase.

 

WOW So 3 people declined due to good sportsmanship and this dude couldn't even be like "I'm not down with this...NEXT" after the first 3 prior examples?

 

Horrible.

 

Jeez ... well, good karma to the three concientious citizens who turned down the win on principle, that's for sure! However, it's sad that their good intentions only enabled the custom to go to someone who doesn't treasure it. This is sort of hard for me to fathom, as the atmosphere at the show appeared to be one of unanimous awed appreciation of Koji's talent.

I have no idea how this sort of thing might be avoided. I think it'd be a shame to kill all raffles and contests on the assumption that nobody can be trusted not to flip or trade their prizes. Maybe charging an entry fee? Nah ... that wouldn't change human nature. I don't know. It's just disappointing to learn about this.

I'm not sure I'm right about this, but part of me is thinking that at least he offered to trade it to kaiju appreciators, rather than simply flipping it on the 'bay or something. Seems slightly better, as a contingency. Hm, I guess.

 

what a maroon! flipping free prizes is ultimate bad toy etiquette.

 

complete different color with goolgy eyes.

 

DAMN


I should get mine tomorrow, maaaaaaaaaaaaan what a wait to see!
