Gauging Interest for HDN Group Buys

[samdavies]

Pole to gauge possible Interest in HDN Group Buys for Manta Lab and/or WeET, hosted by myself, if @Wreck is amenable.

I am UK based, but the GBs would be open to HDN members worldwide, as they were with my Astro Creations Annihilation GB. TBD whether shipping would be retailer direct, or via a hub.

My preference would be for international orders at least to be shipped direct, if the retailers are willing. If not, I do potentially have hub contacts in CN/SK and EU, which may be an option for non-UK orders (also TBD, will need to discuss with them).

No guarantees or promises. This is purely to gauge interest so that I know if an allocation would be a worthwhile endeavour.

Thanks

But why would I also care about brand new collectors buying from manta? That makes no sense. You sound too fake to me making out you care.

Having an opinion doesn't me fake. It just means I don't agree with you in this case but you get so f*cking angry it becomes impossible to have a clear debate on the matter mate.
Apparently thats me being full of b*llshit and fake just for having an opinion.

I wonder if @Flloydo will start to NOT be able to purchase ANY edition directly, what he will do? Go purchase from eBay scalpers?
If he will only have option to purchase at scalper 3x-5x prices, well see then what he'll do... Will he then agree to have here a GB with some specific rules that prioritize collectors? Surely he will.

Till then, he will behave as it is now, like we all those less fortunate in the chances purchasing such editions are „stupid” and „lazy”.

I believe he does not know any better and this is the maximum of thinking that he can do, therefore I see no logic in continuing countering with him (at least on this matter, cause in others, his input is mostly useful and appreciated, at least by me).
He „proven” himself, no need to arguing with him!

 

[Flloydo]

Why are so angry? I get this is the internet but you're absolutely going off for no reason. Makes zero sense.

Take a breath dude. No one's personally attacking you but you're making it a point to personaly come at me.
I'm just commenting back at what you already wrote.

Again are you stupid? I never came for you, you came for me. I’m just telling you I’m completely done with you and your stupidity after claimimg I don’t care about anyone here. When that’s bollox and I’ve got some friends here who I care very much about and HDN in general. So you can go f**k yourself because I’ve always been a supporter of everyone here

You literally wrote above that you don't care about anyone else.

Yeah new collectors who are now trying their luck with suff that’s been going on for longer than 10 years. Great If they get what they want. But why would I also care about people I don’t know. That’s bonkers.

If they are members here and I like them and get on with them and they miss out then of course im gona feel sorry for them. Some random guy I’ve never spoke to that I see moaning on social media that they missed something because they are too slow. Why would I give a f**k about him?

Do me one last solid then before you ignore me forever for some make believe bullsh*t that doesn't exist.

Stop calling me stupid and to go **** myself. There's no need mate. Go have a cold beer or a w*nk to chill out. It's just the internet.

 

[Flloydo]

I really hope that @Flloydo WILL END UP not being able to purchase ANY edition directly

God it’s hard to talk to you. This is probably worst than anything I’ve said to you, you understand that right?

Hopefully @TheWildEye can be an upstanding citizen and call you out for it? Or is it just me because I’m against something you too are not against? Ahh yeah. That’s it

or otherwise and be forced to purchase ONLY from scalpers ad x2-x5 price, and well see then what he'll do... Will he then agree to have here a GB with some specific rules that prioritize collectors? Surely he will.

Till then, he will behave as it is now, like we all those less fortunate in the chances purchasing such editions are „stupid” and „lazy”.

Pal you don’t even know when you’re ordering from Amazon so I’ve not got the best trust In you to know when to order from a premium retailer at a certain time on a certain date so i feel You do actually need all the help you can get. Please stop replying to me

 

[Flloydo]

Think before you type then and I won’t have to

 

[hatredhorror]

wishing bad luck to people to prove your point is pretty despicable if you ask me

no groupbuys for manta as they ship worldwide, the servers work and the preorder time is acceptable.. frankly they should remove them altogether.. theyre the very reason people miss out to begin with.. since they offer ample opportunity for scalpers to stock up with 10+ copies each

maybe for weet since i cba to wake up at 6 am and still miss out due to sh1tty servers lol

 

[Felix_ro]

If they are members here and I like them and get on with them and they miss out then of course im gona feel sorry for them.

And you being sorry for them will somehow help them get what they missed?

I’ve done more stuff for people here behind the scenes for 13 years here without singing and dancing about it after than you’ll ever f**king realise. Anyone asked me get them something I do. Any help I’ve helped.

Or you do indeed have some ways to actually help?

Just trying to keep positive here and find out if you can really help in the matter in discussion here.

 

[Felix_ro]

God it’s hard to talk to you. This is probably worst than anything I’ve said to you, you understand that right?

Why, because I make bring here good points that you don't consider and when I hope for you to be in the same position as me (us), you find that hard?
No really, you are here in a COMMUNITY but sincerely, being against GB you prove to be APART from this community.
That's what I can see and summarize from all your statement (leaving aside all the „bad words” you're using, cause clearly you can't support your point without using them ).

 

[TheWildEye]

Hopefully @TheWildEye can be an upstanding citizen and call you out for it? Or is it just me because I’m against something you too are now? Ahh yeah. That’s it

When you said "why should i care about those people?" I took that to mean everyone - including on here. Easy to make that mistake the way you wrote it.
But there's no reason to go f*cking nuclear

Think before you type then and I won’t have to

As should you dude.
So having an opinion that differs from your own warrants being called a f*cking dumbass.
God bless the internet today. It's provided some entertainment.

I wonder if @Flloydo will start to NOT be able to purchase ANY edition directly, what he will do? Go purchase from eBay scalpers?
I really hope that @Flloydo WILL END UP not being able to purchase ANY edition directly or

That ain't cool either. No need for any of this user or member bashing.

What the feck has gotten into everyone today?

 

[Flloydo]

And you being sorry for them will somehow help them get what they missed?

What does this even mean. You think everyone gets a what they want in life? You think everyone and everything is happiness and flowers?

I got some news for you it isn’t. Bad stuff happens. People miss things.

I never got oasis and Radiohead tickets when
They all went on sale last year and the year before. Sh!t happens

Or you do indeed have some ways to actually help?

Oh here we go. The biggest brown nose on this site now changes his tune because he thinks I might be able to help. This is all I ever see from you is kissing the brown off of Andy and Wreck and whoever else is the person with the GB with zero personality and no honesty

Just trying to keep positive here and find out if you can really help in the matter in discussion here.

LOL

 

[tha_lunatic]

sometimes you cant order direct... stressful day at work or you are driving home... i know some of you guys order on phone while driving 120+ on the highway
without gbs i'd missed 90% of all releases. so yeah, we need gbs.

This guy Felix is an absolute joke. Always has been always will be.
Just read this sh!t he’s saying. And then the brown nosing starts seeing if I can help because it benefits him and that’s all I see of him on this forum

I honestly did not wanted to wish bad luck, just to be in the same position as I (and many of us) are, and then see what he would think and do.

If my post sounded like I wish bad luck to anyone especially @Flloydo, then I am really sorry, that's not what I wanted...

 

[DentedSteelbook]

Forum thread responses that show the major need of people to touch grass. You guys arguing are so sad.

Please, grass, go find it.

No mate. I actually care very deeply for this site and the people here. Bar the odd person over the years and the beautiful thing I find is that some people I’ve had issues with I’m very close to now and I’ll do anything for. There’s 2 of them In here aready and I consider them Brothers

As should you dude.

Yeah because the stuff you accused me of

Exhaustingly, once again, the way you wrote "why should I care about those people" easy to read that as you caring for yourself in the context of the reply.
It doesn't help when you go off nuclear, it makes it really difficult to see through to the meat of your argument.
Reading and typing quickly, this being the internet and having a thread constantly updated with someone calling me "f*cking stupid", "full of bullsh*t" and a "lazy ret*rd", you can see where the waters start to become unnecessarily muddled. Becomes tiresome pretty quick

Little unfair and over the top when its only my wife thats allowed to call me those things.

Btw, nothing I write on here is disingenuous or fake. I'm about as real as your anger. I've no idea why you'd think that bud.

I already said sorry, and amended my post... what else should I do more? but I still want to see him in the same situation to see what he'll do/think then...

But is still mocking me and believe is superior to anyone (or at least me), therefore, I will no longer respond here to/for him

This guy Felix is an absolute joke. Always has been always will be.

„Thanks” man, you're really „great”!
To me is clear, you think „good” just for the ones you know and talked directly, which clearly does not apply to everyone here at HDN, where, you also clearly don't think as a community where we offer support to each other, no matter if we know directly each other or not; to me you're so limited to your own „horizon” that I wonder if you consider all the people in UK as being OK, or just the ones you know and accept directly, in your neighborhood. (I think I should had know that someone with such „info” in signature can't have an IQ more than a teenager, hence not good to put wrong with him. That's my bad, and will try to rectify it.)

 

[Felix_ro]

You’re scum

Again, „thanks man”!
