Well I was able to ENTER a lottery and win it. Meaning I had an actual chance to buy the figure at retail. Otherwise I'd never own a Mother. My gripe isn't really with collectors of Anraku my gripe is of the system in place preventing 99.9% of the people here from actually buying it at retail. Thats what grinds my gears. Patience counts for nothing, when that is the reality (unless I have a spare 600-100 to plunk down).

To someone who has entered lots of Zollmen lotteries and has not won any (I'm sure there are more than a few people in that position) your arguement might seem pretty condescending. After all, the reality is the same, if they want the toy they have no choice but to try and secure it through secondary market sources.

Nobody on this board has any control over how Mr. Anraku, or the Bemon dude, or Charactics, or any other company releases their product. So if your problem is really with them, why complain here?

This board is about Japanese soft vinyl toys. Should we only discuss toys that every person on the board has, so that we can avoid hurting the feelings of anyone who may have missed out? The Show Your Collection section is for, just that, showing pictures of toys. Should we not post pictures of toys in that thread, to avoid any possible feelings of envy?

Maybe toy compainies should be forced to produce toys in very high numbers so that nobody feels left out?

Somebody get on the phone to Kiyoka and ask him to stop painting such lovely one offs. Maybe Geo and The Z could refrain from posting pictures of their amazing Anraku collections? After all, I don't have even a fraction of that stuff. Logang and Stealth, please keep the cool hauls from your Japan trips to yourself. I'm stuck in New Jersey and you're bumming me out. Khanante, I have been after Exohead stuff longer than you, stop rubbing all of your awesome MM's in my face.

This is obviously a ridiculous line of thinking.

Maybe The other people who you claim are as upset as you, are not speaking out, not because they lack balls, but because they see your arguement lacks a point and just comes across as whiney.

How is not having access to purchase toys when they come out whiney? How is having a certain group of people here who do constantly remind you of these same new toys "by having access that you cannot have" not annoying?

You guys cant take jabs at me all you want...go circle jerk your anraku I'm out!

PS for the record I've won two out of about six Zollmen lotteries

Who the 'f' cares what other people own. You're acting like you are 12.
People are excited about owning their anraku toys or gargamel toys or rxh toys etc. Let them be.

Should people be pissed at you for winning the lottery maza and posting pictures???
Don't read the "Show your collection" forum if it's going to annoy you.

You know who might be on the "list" just by reading who has the toys. It doesn't take rocket science to see if they can help you out maybe in the future. But crying out about it because other people own the toys and you don't...kind of makes you look like silly.

Okay, but first I have to get these Man Machines out of my face. :roll: :lol:

I didn't think this thread could get any weirder or sadder, but it did.

Post Re: can we rename the board...
Apparently nobody gets my point. Having a list to decide who can or cannot buy Anraku is ludicrous IMO. You can choose to disagree with me, you can choose to rip apart my argument and turn it into something it's not. You can do a lot of things. It's my opinion and that's that. By the way people in glass houses should not be chucking bricks....

I feel a certain group with a monopoly over one toy line is not good for a community.

OH and FYI aren't forums a place where you can openly give YOUR opinion?

Since were all handing out opinions. I like seeing pictures of toys I don't have. In fact I could live with more pictures and less yammer. As far as having an exclusive membership to buy a certain toy. I really can't complain too much about that since I belong to one of those exclusive clubs that exists right on this board. It's called SSSS and just like SSSS if I someday have the good luck to belong to the Anraku community I would consider it a privilege. I personally have never felt lorded over by people on this forum that have access to toys I don't. I just see it as a genuine enthusiasm on their part for something well made. There is a lot of unfair shit in the world today and not having access to some exclusive toy group is nowhere near the top of my list.

Or they simply don't exist.

I love how whenever I get into a argument on this board the same jackasses who add absolutely "0" to this community come out of the woodwork, just to be followers and do the equivalent of the +1 and get a dig in.

Sorry. We can't all "contribute" the sheer volume you do...like your Paypal I FART A LOT thread...or your Celga I FART A LOT thread...or your "insert toy name" I FART A LOT thread. Ooh, is that a pattern I see?

Way to contribute, dude.

Hillsy any post you make is about being a big prick, no pattern needed to show that! I've contributed databases here, and lots of other useful info as well, so you know where you can shove it dickweed!
