No one EVER said buy them now SS, they will never be released in the U.S. Dave said his rep told him they wouldn't be this year, and that could very well be the truth if they are not on any order forms as James has also reported. He also said they might be released, you never know with Hasbro and I simply added my input on the matter, which I warned was JUST my opinion. No one has used any scare tactics as you keep going on about, I personally am just worried about the line so I am going to purchase a set. Does that affect you in ANY way? NO. Don't pay the price, I could seriously care less man, damm.
I have also said I dunno for sure about wave 4s future. I am basing it all on my own predictions and facts I have seen, along with info I have heard from sources all over. I don't know Shane in person, I know he is in the toy buis, or was, but other then that I know nothing about him. He doesn't work for Hasbro though, so whatever info he has been given may or may not change at any time. He seems reputable, but as I said, it MIGHT be possible his contact just hasn't seen the figures yet? Could be due to a number of things, such as locationor they are just showing up in stores now... really anything. I am open to anything. I said they might be released here, I said they might not, I DON'T FREAKEN KNOW, can you understand that Squishee? I have been saying that since the start but you just don't seem to get it, everything I stated is my humble opinion, it is not the final say on anything.[/b]

That sure sounds like panic and scare tactics to me. You act like all of wave 4 is hopelessly in overseas clutches (something you now admit to not knowing) except these 8 cases which is perhaps our only hope to ever see these figures in our country. Then at the end you deny what you just did for 2 full paragraphs prior.

You and I have different ideas of panic and scare tactics then. I wouldn't say phrases like "I think", I doubt", and "in my opinion" like I did there and have been ever since then in my previous post. If I was trying to truly cuase a panic, I would say Xevoz are all overseas FOR SURE, I know it is since I have inside info and you NEED to buy the set now or you WILL NEVER get it. I still THINK it is all overseas, I just am not positive, I said that then and am saying it now. And, why on earth would I even try promoting him? I don't get a percent of his profits, I could care less if you buy the figures. We have gone over this Squishee. If you are going to quote me, please find better material then this lame attempt at proving your petty point, which no one cares about anymore.[/b]

Whoa momma.... Leave for a couple hours and all heck breaks loose. DFReaper, that was a very funny post. He has the right attitude. Time for my replys.. I frankly did not read them all.. Couldn't take it. In case anyone was on another planet.. -SS- does not like me. He has a vendetta against me and the business. Good for him. Gets out all that negative energy I guess. Bashing on Sector (luckily most of you did not) was just stupid. He did not even mention a store or if he was going to sell some or what his info was that I saw. I asked him to do it, because the board seemed kind of empty and slow except for one loud mouth. The deal had been in the works for several weeks and I had just gotten word that it was a go. However, until I got them at our store I was not going to post info saying they were coming, because SOMEONE would just go on and on and on for the next 4 days until people didn't care... Sound familiar.... Great Marketing? I guess so. I frankly did not ever see this much talk coming. All the way down to the strange orange square on the packaging. I thought it was fun. I thought it was fun for those thinking about it. For most it was. We got plenty of people wanting them and many thank yous. However most just did not want to get into it. can't blame them. I did this to make money. Duh. However, I thought I was being nice in offering them to people on the board first. Since I had been slammed for selling rares on Ebay. What the heck do you call this set?? Common?? I don't collect the toys. When I came to this board I did it to see what -SS- was crying about and defend ourselves. I really liked seeing all the cool stuff people were doing with them and how much you guys really loved the line. Obviously pursuing a dead toy line isn't going to help our business in the long run, but I saw what you all were still looking for and I went and found them with the many years of contacts I have, and yes with profit in mind. However, can't we make some money and help people too? They were bought from a legitimate overseas dealer and NO, I will not release that info. We don't do that. We would like to get more of them, if possible. Hasbro can make or not make as many as they want. If a line dies they don't tell a factory to just keep on pumping the stuff out to make sure all of those who bought the first toys get them all. We all wish... They may show up here yet. However that requires Hasbro US to import them for Domestic sale, and I think they have made it quite clear the line is done.. I think most people see the writing on the wall. I have been doing this a long time and would not take the risk if I did not think I read things correctly. Finally, yes finally.... Buy the set if you want or not. Sector does not work for us. He is a good customer, which I did not even know when I first got on this board. Heyyou, please don't let this get you down. Enjoy you hobby. Skip this set or wait. Anything could happen. I will continue to post in the Marketplace section. I think people should know what we get in. I don't force anyone to read my posts or buy from us. Please just enjoy the toys.. A see a couple top 20's who don't want them from their comments so I will release those to any who want them. Let's just call it a free for all now. I just thought those people who were most active should get them first. No offense meant to you quiet watchers... P.S. Golden Gonxo, dang right you should get one free. Send me a PM with your info. Please don't accuse me of buttering up the Moderator... He runs a great board and helps all of us out. David www.dnstoys.com

Oh you care, you've cared for several pages now.
Everything there that you said in both paragraphs strongly suggests to the readers that the likelyhood of these toys are not going to see the light of day here in the states. Of course all of that is based or rumor and self serving suppositions from the sellers point of view because you admittedly now don't know any of that is based on factual substance. It's just heresay and musings. Highlighting words and phrases like "doubt" and "I would suggest buying it" is ultimately promoting and reinforcing your aiding in this selling agenda not exhonerating your tone or message of these toys being doomed for release in the US. The first part last sentence was just contradictory because you just spent the prior 2 paragraphs doing exactly that.

Your looking to deep into it. It was actually me stating my opinion and nothing more. I am unsure of Xevoz future, plain and simple. I am unlike you. You like to cop an attitude like you know whats going on exactly only to be wrong later on. You then end up looking like an @$$ while trying to make excuses for your sudden sway in views, peculiarly enough right you hear new info. [/b]

How am I looking like the ass here? I'm sticking to my guns and not buying or helping a scalper. You denounced what he was doing on the TW thread and after one post from him you flip flopped right in bed with him and his never ending supply of left over tomb wraiths and Storm Wings. Oh well, nice selective memory on your part.
Dave, I won't accuse you of sucking up even though that's exactly what that was. Oh well, at least GG is deserving. I can't agree with anything else you do but that was a nice guesture.

I heard his side of it and changed my mind, is that against the law? While I might not agree with him selling on eBay, I don't feel some deep desire to bash him every post and slander his name when a reference is made to him or his sales. I can see where he is coming from, and given the opportunity to make 7 or 30 on a figure I am sure we know what you would choose. He doesn't know most of us or owe us favors. He is just running a business, pure and simple. Get over the scalping already.[/b]

How am I looking like the ass here? You (plural) look like asses because you just keep saying the same thing over and over again. I'm not saying either of you are right or wrong, I'm just saying I'm tired of reading it. Get a new argument, post a picture to liven it up, do a damn jig or something.
Sorry if that was a rhetorical question

I know CBM, and as hard as I try to just let what he says fly, I simply can't. That shoulda been my new years resolution or something [/b]

I could make a profit off the toys I have in hand right now. I'm just not going to because I like this line to much to turn scalper on it and i don't like what they do to the hobby. To me scalping is just so counter productive and sleazy. It's not worth the money it brings in. I don't piss in swimming pools, much less the one I'm planning on swimming in. I would hope this board could have remained free of their influence but it is just not to be it would seem... Now for birdman..... ~SS~

Hey, did I read that right? GG just scored a free set? Call it what you want from whatever angle you want to see it from, but I think that's great for him.

So, simply because I don't post nearly as often as the top 20 posters do I can't get a set? I mean, I don't mind paying more for a cancelled item, but why not first come first served? I am as much a xevoz fan as anyone here.
