 Re: Got paranoia? Krudler wrote: COOP did the art for the packaging, it probably would cost more than the toys he received to commission and pay cash for the work. Actually it might not since price they seem to bring on the secondary market is so high (and there are one offs) but he doesn't sell them.
The attacks really do look like sour grapes injected with a huge dose of jealousy. The man has a lot of talent, the work he turned in is excellent. There doesn't seem to be secret handshake stuff going on with toys that are called "COOP" runs.
Its not about being "sheeple". I haven't got a single one of these things and could easily have bought a flipped one from other runs but the prices don't make sense. Pictures are the only way to see what the new COOP run looks like.
He has every right to be proud of his work and share a picture of what he earned in return for it. Well put Krudler! You get straight to the point - unlike my post.

Re: Got paranoia?  Lovin' you is easy cause you're beautiful Makin' love with you is all i wanna do Lovin' you is more than just a dream come true And everything that i do is out of lovin' you La la la la la la la... do do do do do No one else can make me feel The colors that you bring Stay with me while we grow old And we will live each day in springtime Cause lovin' you has made my life so beautiful And every day my life is filled with lovin' you Lovin' you i see your soul come shinin' through And every time that we oooooh I'm more in love with you La la la la la la la... do do do do do (Sorry, this song is much scarier than a NNN or Bemon)

Re: Got paranoia? I think there's a difference, although I can't find the words right now to explain it, between posting pictures of stuff that you've acquired over a period of time - I seriously enjoy looking at the vintage collections, Anraku, etc - stuff I'll never own - versus posting pics of a toy that was just released that many people are clamoring for (I'm not one of them) but that very few can afford and/or own.
I'm not attacking Coop in the least; only saying that Prometheus5 has a legit point which, IMHO didn't warrant the attack on him.

I'm only human and I get jealous too - but I'd much rather see pics than not. Thats one of teh reasons I come to ths board. If it were all pics of stuff that everyone has...well, it would be dull

Re: Got paranoia? In any case, I don't think what Prometheum said warranted any attacks from anybody, especially people who weren't COOP.

No, it just depends on how you handle it. Some people are cool about it, some aren't.

Re: Got paranoia? Yes. This is so true, I have noticed this. People may not even notice when they do it themselves (me in any case). atease wrote: Axolotl wrote: In any case, I don't think what Prometheum said warranted any attacks from anybody, especially people who weren't COOP. the tough thing is that people can't say what they want around here anymore. if you say something against the grain, people come after you. i don't have a side here per se btw. mostly because i don't like this toy and i don't care in general.

No, it just depends on how you handle it. Some people are cool about it, some aren't. Agreed. IMO Coops post is cool and what more legitimate person to post pics of Nags in a Nag thread than someone who worked hard on designing the packaging and colorway for all the right reasons and was sent the toys as a thank you. Sure beats someone posting up an expensive toy they paid out of the ass for on ebay.

I agree Ed. I wanted to comment on all this but really I don't care about the toy either, and if I truly spoke my mind like I use to here it would only start a flame session which honestly I don't have the energy for anymore.

Re: Got paranoia? the nag phenomenon is very strange to me.
there are a good number of solid folks here who don't give a shit for the figure for various reasons. and yet it still managed to fetch premium prices.
i wonder if the current prices will be sustainable when more & more folks finally own one.

There are also a good number of solid folks that camn actually see some appeal in it and even more douchebags/sheeple that latch onto it because its the latest 'must have' or see it as a flippable commodity . . . obviously between 'em there's enough $$$ to stimulate the market.

Re: Got paranoia? Shit's getting old, I'd rather just talk about the toy but I guess that's stupid of me. Who comes to this board to discuss the positive aspects of toys and collecting anymore? Before a snide "what positive aspects are left?" remark hits I'll answer with a simple "plenty" but that's a different conversation I guess.
Thanks COOP for showing pics of these with such great detail, I enjoy seeing them even if I don't have those ones. Keep "braggin' and boastin'" please because some of us enjoy the pics.*
*I'm being sincere, after re-reading that it comes off a little snotty.
