(3:14:41 AM): Sky Shadow is using Nemesis Prime colors.

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:14:52 AM): I'm not at all impressed with that repaint.

 

(3:15:01 AM): I love it

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:15:02 AM): I'm not at all impressed with Wing Saber either.

 

(3:15:09 AM): I love that too

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:15:45 AM): My biggest concern would be "Does he come with the swords?". If it's a no...then I'd run for the hills.

 

(3:16:13 AM): I already have Sonic bomber

(3:16:17 AM): I just want WS for his yellow non chrome chest

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:16:26 AM): I've got Sonic Bomber fortunately.

Big Bot Man 101 (3:16:44 AM): I'm about to open Crosswise. I should be getting Brimstone and Th...Chromia tomorrow.

 

(3:17:09 AM): I already hit all the GF versions

(3:17:16 AM): but I want Thunderblast because her eyes are fixed

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:17:30 AM): I was going to, but then I saw all the new ones sitting on the shelves and couldn't pass it up.

 

(3:18:01 AM): I did grab Snarl for fun, but he's not half as nice as Fangwolf

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:19:00 AM): I ended up renaming my Leobreaker and Snarl. Leo=Snarl, Snarl=Fangwolf. (original name is so much better.)

 

(3:19:16 AM): I dont like the name Snarl, period

(3:19:25 AM): he's Ligerjack to me

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:19:48 AM): Ligerjack and Leobreaker are just obnoxious. I guess I'm still thinking of Snarl being a lion thanks to BM.

 

(3:20:03 AM): Ligerjack is awesome

(3:20:05 AM): but so is Jackshot

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:23:23 AM): I saw Brushguard. Wow was I unimpressed.

 

(3:23:31 AM): I like it

(3:23:38 AM): dude, its just a basic

(3:23:38 AM): and its just a toy

(3:23:38 AM): you shouldnt be impressed

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:23:39 AM): I finally bought Backstop and I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove that figure.

Big Bot Man 101 (3:24:12 AM): Oh I absolutely should be impressed if I'm expected to pay hard earned money for it. (which I didn't, so I don't own him.)

 

(3:24:46 AM): its a toy for little kids, man

(3:24:47 AM): seriously

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:25:06 AM): ....yes?

Big Bot Man 101 (3:25:15 AM): What exactly is the point?

 

(3:25:21 AM): that its for kids

(3:25:28 AM): it shouldnt conform to adult standards

(3:25:36 AM): you should look at it as a kid would

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:25:59 AM): What's it like having no discerning tastes?

 

(3:26:14 AM): um..I save my tastes for important things

(3:26:18 AM): like literature and music

(3:26:26 AM): these are toys

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:26:52 AM): Well I (like many others) allow my tastes to be used for many a thing. Collections and the toys contained therein...included.

 

(3:27:06 AM): but they are for like..5 year olds

(3:27:17 AM): you shouldnt be content with a plaything

(3:27:20 AM): they're for fun

(3:27:26 AM): your life doesnt depend on a paint ap

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:28:06 AM): Wow...what the hell man?

 

(3:28:18 AM): you just called me tasteless

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:28:21 AM): Is the stick firmly cemented up your ass tonight or what?

Big Bot Man 101 (3:28:47 AM): You basically called me an idiot, and that I'm absolutely foolish for liking what I do, and what I don't.

Big Bot Man 101 (3:28:55 AM): Talk about being "open" minded.

 

(3:29:11 AM): no, I said it is foolish to be critical of a plaything because you're an adult

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:29:43 AM): It's also foolish to be critical of others (regardless of age) because you're supposed to be an adult, and act like one.

 

(3:29:53 AM): I do act like one

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:29:59 AM): I'm not sure why you're pissy tonight, but I *was* in a good mood.

 

(3:30:03 AM): but I dont go "man, kid's playthings arent satisfying to me in my adult life, so they suck"

(3:30:07 AM): im not pissy

(3:30:11 AM): you're too sensitive

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:30:24 AM): I never once said anything even remotely close to your little quote there.

Big Bot Man 101 (3:30:59 AM): I happened to say I didn't care for Brushguard, and right off the bat, you're telling me how I'm wrong for having an opinion. (and that's exactly what all of this bitter diatribe is.)

Big Bot Man 101 (3:31:14 AM): Sensitive....okay. "You called me tasteless."

 

(3:31:16 AM): no, I said you should look at it as a kid would

(3:31:19 AM): im completely right

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:31:36 AM): That's a matter of opinion. No opinion is factually correct.

 

(3:31:51 AM): depends on the argument

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:31:51 AM): Opinions can be based off of fact, but opinions themselves are not fact.

 

(3:32:09 AM): I can say jazz is better music than hitting a stick against a brick

(3:32:10 AM): thats an opinion

(3:32:13 AM): but who's gonna disagree?

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:32:49 AM): Well that's definitely a skewered view...it's also one sided.

 

(3:32:52 AM): now can we stop arguing about a toy?

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:33:23 AM): Well last I checked, you're the one who chose to go off the deep end about a toy...(wow..still trying to figure that one out.)

 

(3:33:32 AM): I asked you a question.

 

Big Bot Man 101 (3:33:35 AM): But yes, we're going to let this die, along with the conversation.

 

(3:33:44 AM): good

 

WTF? Seriously. I'm not allowed to dislike something because it's a toy and I don't think like a kid? I'm an adult! I'm not supposed to think like a kid! Nothing wrong with being a kid at heart, but wow....

 

Ever have this happen? Ever just want to suckerpunch that person square in the Adam's Apple?

 

Damn...the nerve of some people.

 

EDIT: One of the most important parts...

 

I do love Backstop to pieces. He's one of the coolest (IMO) figures out there. I don't like Brushguard because he's nothing but a subpar (again IMO) repaint. I need something a little more alluring for me to part with $7.00 of my cash for the same figure....

 

Ya know?

I usually don't get the urge to suckerpunch someone just because I disagree with them

Ah, but that's not what I said.

 

I get the urge when I'm told I'm wrong, absolutely wrong, can't be right, and that I'm foolish for feeling one way as compared to their way.

 

That's not right. There's disagreement, and there's just plain being a prick.

 

This was definite prickishness.

It's like a message board in chat form. :D

Backstop is cool. He's so cool I'd kick your ass to prove it.

I'd rip you apart while you're still alive and drink your blood, just to prove to you that the Cybertron Armada repaints are worth owning

These are toys. Stop being so critical and just keep buying em, even if they are ugly. They're for 5 yr olds.

 

I think this person was being an ass on purpose and couldn't possibly be serious. I would have stopped typing a long ti

Just like that.

I wouldn't say I've been suckerpunched but stabbed in the back.

 

When I was on ToyboxDX's forum. I got banned/booted/scrambled/spammed because I disagreed with the bashers, aka the assistant moderators and administrators. Talk about abuse of power. When Alen Yen came in and saw what they'd done to his forum I believe he fired two of them.

 

These places are built on the shoulders of people who take in their collections with all value; money, heart. etc. Just because you don't agree with someone who hates something doesn't mean they're superior or right. At the end of the day its just a matter of opinion and if you're happy with yours then thats all you need to know!
