Yeah I haven't yet either but I'm going to. I'm getting some random things in order first, but yeah really I have no clue where this thing is going. Like I said, just days ago this wasn't on my radar. Today it is. If it fails, I'm no worse off. If it succeeds great, I want one.
I'm hearing there is some brow beating going on... telling people they're not real collectors if they don't support it, blah blah blah. F that noise. If you can't you can't. If you simply can't justify the price, that's you and your business, nobody else, and I hate that some folks are taking this as a chance to **** on other people's fandom or passion. For some it's just not financially viable. For others, it's financially viable, but tough to justify. I've literally had cars that cost less and were my daily drivers for years, and so that's a lot for a piece of plastic. Can't fault anyone their feelings on the matter really.
I mean if you're bitching it's not worth it because the Flagg was $100 30+ years ago, you're not really seeing the broader picture I think. But if you're just not able to justify or come up with it, hey, that's cool.
This will sink or swim on its own merits. Collectors will rise to the occasion or they won't. Some have talked a lot, and I think there are quite a few who won't back that talk up. Those people suck, haha. But I mean hey, if you can't because you just can't, whatever. It's just a toy. And I still get my tank anyway.
