i like what you did there, that was sneaky. good on you.
i think we're completely on a wavelength here. like you, i totally understand interest, it's the wild emotional mood swings that defy ration. and it's so odd, in that, while i see over the top behavior on a lot of fan sites, it seems the motuc fanbase are particularly bi-polar on the topic... they're either A) everything is perfect! guy, or B) everything is starfruit! guy, and inevitably, that's the reaction for the first week or so of reveal, then they mellow, then they buy... and there's up to the minute coverage of how long it took, how many WSODs they hit and on what screens, and then they hop on the "damned digital river!' bandwagon for a week, then they spend five says on the "damned cornerstone logistics" or "damned newgistics" bandwagon, then they get the toy and the general consensus is "it's ok, it has some faults, but by and large it's a good toy." and then the cycle begins anew... for 4 straight years now. holy berbubblefarts, i can't even conceive of being that irate/surprised/elated/melancholy over and over again. i would abandon toys and start drinking if i was that unstable.
and yes, i think they are the vast minority of the fanbase, but they certainly get heard, don't they? it's exhausting
sometimes. as a 34 year old hobbyist, far be it from me to tell someone to get a life... but hot damned... they need a life.
