Any interest in a repro Aquaman vs The Great White Shark set?

[MegoSteve]

The shark is dead.

That's definitely mean-spirited, whether you agree with the characterization or not. Just because a few regular posters here aren't happy with the possible price doesn't mean you all have the power to kill his project, nor do you have the power to dictate how he's going to sell it, whether it be in tiers or not.

You guys need to step back and calm down, because this is just making you look like petty cheapskates. It's great you got emotionally invested in the progress of the project, but if you can't afford it and now are all upset, you need to grow up a little and realize that you don't always get to have all the toys you want.

Has this officially happened to this thread yet?

[Meule]

Works both ways, and yes I think he does. We know you no longer have interest in the set, so now go elsewhere please. I have interest in seeing the project finished, I'm not trolling here.

If you're serious about wanting to see this project reach an end I suggest you stop posting in this thread cause right now - the way it looks to an outsider - you're making matters worse. You're definitely NOT helping the cause

[Bizarro Amy]

I will continue following this thread in hopes of more pictures. Kris, your prototype looks amazing. You and your crew have obviously put a lot of work into it. I know you still want to do the high-end, near-exact replica, but at one point you had also mentioned several different options. Any chance you'll use the prototype to make any of those? It would seem that once you have that, it wouldn't be too much additional work to offer simple resin casts or vac-formed pieces.

sorry I didn't know you had the authority of telling folks what thread they could see and what they can't? I wanna see the finished product as well, doesn't mean I have to buy it....so I'm guessing you'll be the first buying it at what ever price he sets right?

You would be guessing wrong. I already have a real set.

I didn't "tell" you to leave, just asked you to with a "please", so your negative commentary would go as well.

dude are you seriously talking about trolling? come on man, I'll let this go as well....like I said before, it's his piece and he can list it at w/e price he wants...just don't ask people to discuss a price and then get mad when they ask questions...and I'm pretty sure he doesn't need a forum bodyguard, just let it be man

OK, so you, Blue Meanie, The Bat, nayrbgo, toys2cool, Marvelmania and Mikey don't want one. You can all move on to another thread then. Some of you are all only trolling at this point right?

What does your contention, and statement, "now the shark dies" convey then? Seems a mean-spirited thing to say to me... and a snide remark that does not come off as nice.

it was an inside joke for the other forum members

[geoffdude]

it means - due to the attitude displayed by reeves (about the price discussion) he has probably alienated a majority of his target customer base at this forum.
Instead of him getting all upset, posting that insulting, long winded story how families need fed, need lucrative profit, etc...he could have instead explained thoughts on the tiered shark sets...

Instead of getting a bunch of us ticked off, he could have came in to the thread...went, "whoa folks...lets think of it like this - $XXX for a boxed shark...$XXX for a loose shark, etc.."
No. What he did was throw that tiered system right out the window and got ticked off and started writing.

so yes.
The shark is dead.

dude, he said "let it go" so...let it go. stop trolling.

Sorry, must of missed that. "who" said let it go?

This flash-mob should just be one way then?

I'm pretty sure that was DUE to the price issue always coming up... it was not an out of the blue request on his part.

What sort of person makes a remark like this "now the shark dies". You're pretty mean-spirited.
