So by your reasoning I would have magically gotten more money from the dollie fairy to pay for the extra that I couldn't afford because shipping was too high? You are sounding like a .

You know, the main point is this:
Green Arrow sold out, which is the main objective for the seller. They're happy.
Whatever we do as collectors, is purely up to our personal tastes. I'm sure someone out there will like a GA with high heels and a wig.
So whatever we do with him, we bought him to begin with, and now we adapt him to our needs (or leave him alone).
Some people buy a car and drive it as it is. Others want flashy hubcaps and fuzzy dice. In the end, we, as the buyer, are happy too.
IMO, the only problem would have been if the figure didn't sell because we didn't want it at all.
It's all cool....

I'm just tired of people getting insulting with me. I state facts and get insulted and treated like an idiot. I come here for fun and not to have to get crap from others. I have a problem backing down.Comment

No, Lonnie...you just don't get that shipping was $8.70. Not $8.70 FOR EACH UNIT. I tried to make that plain and you tried to make me out to be a jerk.Comment

This thread sure has gone off the Tracks Guys.

I keep $1.00 in my bank account to keep it open. I have no job. I borrowed $45.00 from my daughter for the hopes of getting two green arrow figures. When the time came the shipping put the price over what I could afford. I had $46.00. It cost too much. Now do you understand? Yes, I'm pathetic and had to get the money from my daughter. I'm a looser because your reasoning doesn't help me afford what cost too much. Your compassion is very reassuring that there are nice people on the forum. Thanks. Guess I'm just an idiot. No you compared me to a six year old. Thanks Saildog, you're a real nice guy.Last edited by LonnieFisher; Jan 18, '10, 6:21 AM.Comment

Lonnie, I'm sorry for troubling you. Shipping was $8.70 for each figure, not each order. I paid $17.40 shipping for my two figures. I am a total liar and a six year old.
Since I had no clue of your job situation throughout the whole discussion, I realize that I actually paid $34.80 shipping for my two figures.
I hope my admission makes you more right in all of this.Comment

Lonnie, I'm not on your back. I told you that in the PMs.
I am totally wrong in this...I am sorry for insisting on the shipping charge being what I thought it was based on my statement. Evidently, you were totally right on the shipping charge... so, I will give you all of the points I was trying to argue.
I'm the jerk here...not Lonnie.
Now, let's retire all of this.Comment

As Thomas stated, if you feel you overpaid your figure, guys in our neck of the woods will always pay more. Feel free to say "at least those Belgians have it worse than we do".
Thomas and I both considered buying two for each of us, but ended up with just one each. If Customs nail us, we may end up paying more like $40 each.
And now I'll rest my case, and go look at my Mego display, for something what I call "Figure Gazing Zen."
It relaxes me.....

At least we got it cheaper than those guys in "the black hole of the universe". They paid so much for their figures it's not even funny. "Figure Gazing Zen" I'm gonna try it!Comment

Now I notice all the figures I'm missing! So much for "Figure Gazing Zen".Comment

"Use the Zen, Lonnie."
When it goes away, just shake your head and focus on all the cool stuff you DO have!"
I think we should get all those nasty amounts out of our heads, and go back to playing with our fun toys.
Things might have heated up a little, but my Zen says be cool. Cooler than an ice cube in a fridge on the Northpole.....
