And none of this changes the fact that some people show up now just to use this place as a hype machine and market place.

Let us not forget that Alice was banned not long after going off on an anti-homosexuals-as-parents rant.

Alice's banning was brought on by several things from the powers that be.
As much as he and I may disagree on some things, he was a good guy and I miss him being around here.

Yes i know. He was also nice to me and took my defence on a few occasions. I always thought his ill-advised rant was just trolling in very bad taste, i have a hard time believing he actually believed in what he was saying. I think Coop finally got him banned.

Money money.

Hahaha you used troll(ing) and COOP in the same post. Irony?! I think not

^ BANNED !

I really like Stu a lot - his irreverence, off the wall attitude, shared likes and heritage. I also regretted that we never got to meet up in Japan in 2007. So shortly after that incident, and before his banning, I got a PM from a board member who was pretty offended by his comments. I checked them out and talked to him at length via multiple PM's because I too suspected his opinion that homosexuals should not be parents was, as you say, bad taste trolling. Despite much back and forth - and what I think were sound arguments on my part - and (IMHO) some very unsound reasoning on his part - I failed to convince him. In fact he told me he would and could never agree with the idea of gays as parents. We agreed to disagree.

While I agree with the right to free speech, I have to be honest and say I don't want to be subjected to homophobic opinions being expressed on this board. The same way I don't want to see right wing, racist and misogynist rhetoric on here either.

So, yeah, I miss Alice/Stu - but the old Alice/Stu who was a fun crazy guy - not the opinions expressed in my last few PM's with him.

And so as not to pollute this thread further - and because I'm unlikely to check this thread for follow-ups - if anyone wants to discuss further please PM me.

I respect people who have different opinions than I. I disagree with him on that issue, but being an adult I can deal with that. I find his belief much less offensive then some of the blatant locker room slurs and language that gets thrown around here. Just today I read a thread that I seriously had to re read twice. Sophomoric is being generous.

You're doing just fine without my help!

So yeah... looking forward to trying to grab one of these new Deadbeets. This thread is still about that... right?

will there be a solid clear big deadbeet available sometime scott?

ahahahahahah...

Nice! I haven't seen that since page 13. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for joining just to pimp your crappy toy

No. No. Oh no, it cuts deep.

^ Your posts are as lame as your toy!

Nagata just posted these beets he painted for FlabSlab. I kinda wanna eat them.

^Sign me up, I'll take any of those. I'm a sucker for Mark's clear paints.

Too easy!

Oh come on! Put some boxing gloves on Deadbeet and you fight figure fanatics would be all over it.

Since the first release at SDCC12 how many deadbeats have been released this far?

Quick count 8-10 unpainted production releases, 3 runs by nebulon and one by skinner. Thats just off the too of my head however

Might as well plot them all against the prices too.
