Remember when ToyFair was a joyous occasion on the board?

the one thing you looked forward to for the entire year, and every february you hunkered down in front of the warm glow of your monitor and looked at everything McF and all the other companies had in store for you.

now you go to the white board and you'd think someone killed their puppy.

Hence the reason we are here.

The Spawn Lines look fantastic... probably the best Music Lineup Ever..... And even those who were bitching about the re-dos on the Alien and Predator were silenced with the separate Alien VERSUS Predator line as well as the 12" figures. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Although I didn't care for the gradual roll out of data, I don't mind the announcement of the lines with pictures to come.... Now we actually have stuff to look forward to in the Daily Updates. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

well, i agree with some of the bitching. some little teaser shots would've been nice. concept art... something.

hell, anything. i'm really trying not to sound like them, but this was about the lamest mcf toyfair/fest showing ever...

stuff to look forward to, i guess.

I can't believe I got all excited.
I was trying to find the feeling I had when McFarlane were going to Toy Fair I think and it just didn't work.
Especially with no pictures at all of the figures I'm interested in.

Seems like the general population is very angry. I am not just talking the toy board on Spawn.com. People seem to be less patient, less tolerant, and rude. You see it in stores, when people "go off" on cashiers, or when standing in a line. Driving on roads, sometimes it feels like you are in a combat zone, plus "road rage" is happening more and more. I think many are unhappy, over-worked, stressed out, and rushed.

What we need is a major change in our society. I would propose that the 5 day work week be abolished. 4 days a week should be the standard. Health care for everyone at a reasonable cost. We (USA) should bring back all our military from foreign countries. Instead of being a "police force" put them to work for the US, rebuilding, and repairing our infrastructure. Fix roads, bridges, clean up trashed areas, build parks, remove eye sores and put something useful and beautiful in their place. Once we get our house in order, (which should be the priority) then we can help out other countries. Why should US citizens come second to other countries?

Sorry for going on like this. It makes me sad & angry to see the state that we are in.
