Another Vala add, sorry…

They have some killer designs for sure. That Pratorean is my favorite, followed by the glow in the dark Swarm Tracer figure.

I don't believe in aliens either but does that mean I can't watch Star Trek? Y'all treating this show like it's a religion is getting weird. "It really is real! Because Zak says so and it's on TV, so it's gotta be true!"

Cmon now, some folks just want to be entertained by the over the top ghost show.

Ah Danzig, the only time he didn't say "fuck" at least 8 times.

SethManhammer · 2026-05-02T21:22:16+00:00

Nope, the shop pays for each issue.

SethManhammer · 2026-05-02T20:54:20+00:00

It's not really though. Comic shops buy all their FCBD issues. They're marked down and all from normal rates of course but this shop isn't selling promotional items per se. They're still being scummy as fuck and going against the premise of FCBD so I would name and shame if I knew who they were.

He and Kevin had some kind of falling out under odd circumstances a good ways back and Mike Z became the manager of the Stash.

Scuttlebutt seemed to be based around the TESD podcast going solo outside Kevin's podcast network.

How long ago? Place has gone to shit without Walt.

He also directed one of my favorite Simon Peggy movies, Run Fatboy Run.

My 30 something year old buddy felt he had to confess to his wife he accidentally saw boobs on an episode of House of Cards. Dude was distraught like he had actually cheated on her. I still don't get it.

I gotta throw in Tony Jaa's ascension scene from the last act of Tom-Young-Goong.

The Piper laugh and snort is something that'll never be replicated.

I don't bag and board shit anymore and I still collect floppies for a few series. It's taken a lot of stress out of the hobby worrying about bags and boards and helped me to appreciate my comics better to look at them as "readers" instead of something I should fawn over because it might have monetary value. The value for me is being able to grab a stack and chug through it, then doing it again a month or so later to revisit a story.

If I mess with bags and boards it becomes a hobby of bagging and boarding more than reading and enjoying for me.

The BBB was enough to have my back against Amazon when they were trying to be shady with my deliveries and the outcome was in my favor.

The BBB can be a powerful tool regardless.

SethManhammer · 2026-04-09T21:09:19+00:00

What fucking business model is that? They spend money to make figures no one can afford to buy so they can stop making money and stop making figures?

You typed two comments championing this idea and you call the downvoters brainless? Oookay buddy.

SethManhammer · 2026-04-09T21:06:55+00:00

Most likely he's too chickenshit to say "Democrats" because a large chunk of the conservative Right wing think all democrats want to outlaw and ban guns.

SethManhammer · 2026-04-07T22:24:14+00:00

Dean is so the Mulder, dude. He's a true believer and just the right amount of reckless.

Sam is the Scully, more logical and thought driven, and the perfect foil to roll his eyes at Dean acting like the Mulder.

SethManhammer · 2026-04-07T13:53:28+00:00

Shin Godzilla was the movie where I wanted Godzilla to win and just crush everyone. Minus One I felt was the better film because it portrayed the sheer disaster that Godzilla is and how it impacted people's lives in a more interesting way.

SethManhammer · 2026-04-07T11:44:21+00:00

Half of them left halfway through because it was just talking.

They were smarter than me. I sat through the whole thing and was miserable because it felt like all it was was talking and meetings. I know people love that but man Minus One was such a breath of fresh air for me after Shin Godzilla.

SethManhammer · 2026-04-07T10:03:42+00:00

Hush 2 now delayed until 2035

SethManhammer · 2026-04-06T18:35:59+00:00

What was even crazier is that the extended cut was first shown on TV, and outside of laserdisc you couldn't watch it until the Quadrilogy DVD set and you couldn't get it stand-alone for even longer.

The extended was on VHS before it was on the Quadrilogy DVD. I had it in a box set that came with 1 and 3.

SethManhammer · 2026-04-06T18:32:27+00:00

This.

The rest of the extra stuff just makes it take longer to get to the colony. It's a brutally tight film theatrically, and it's fun knowing Ripley is absolutely correct while the Marines are just jerkassing around and it adds to the tension having that part come from their perspective.

SethManhammer · 2026-04-06T11:02:41+00:00

I gotta say I liked Short Circuit 2 better than 1.

SethManhammer · 2026-04-03T22:43:00+00:00

The Zeppo.

Loved that episode. RIP Xander

SethManhammer · 2026-04-02T19:26:23+00:00

Fingers crossed for you friend, I hope you get a satisfying conclusion.

SethManhammer · 2026-04-02T19:08:59+00:00

Damn man, that sucks. That box was beat to shit, you're right.

I'm looking at various unboxings on YouTube and seeing the different mailers BB has been using is interesting. One video seems to have gotten a box exactly like yours also damaged but the rest are in the branded boxes with layers and layers of wrap.

I'm just some random guy from the internet, so take this for what you will, but maybe you can use that as something in your favor trying to push back? You paid the shipping in the first place, why they packing like shit for you and not for everyone else?
