bl4zz3r73553 was suspended...

I was inclined to let this issue slide after bl4zz3r73553 apologized and it seemed like they had come to an understanding; but then bl4zz3r73553 made another post with additional name calling and a vague threat.

1. this issue has nothing to do with these forums and it needs to be resolve outside of these forums.

2. while we're not in the habit of harboring "scammers" none of the evidence posted implies that g6t9ed is trying to defraud bl4zz3r73553, only that he's following eBays procedures and bl4zz3r73553 is unhappy with eBay's decisions and timing.

3. even if g6t9ed was a scammer it doesn't give bl4zz3r73553 the right to harass, make racist or bigoted remarks or threats. Being upset over a lack of communication or the situation that you're in is no excuse.

bl4zz3r73553 has been banned for 3 months. If he harasses g6t9ed or any other member, or attempts to create another account he will be permanently banned.

If g6t9ed would like his thread cleaned up than please PM me and I will do so.

Thank you, Twistedsymphony, for handling this matter quickly. I believe you perfectly described the situation in your synopsis and I thank you and your mod team for working with me. I initially intended to handle things as they were outside of these forums until the Seller decided to attack me here.

I do not have anything to hide, therefore, I will not have anything removed from my page. If anything, it will be a learning experience and, hopefully, provide some of the future sellers an idea of how I handle my buying process. I do hope this concludes any issue on this matter.

I will be preparing an update, including the infamous Butt Stallion that will be fixed, in the upcoming weeks when I receive my "book-ended" statue.

Hello Everyone,

Been debating with myself whether it's worth continuing to keep updating here after the fiasco that left a sour taste. I know everyone has their opinion on how they would've handled the situation but from the information I had and the situation I was in, I did not want to take any chances. Mind you, the way I handled this situation was also after being scammed myself multiple times in past instances. I try to handle the loss with grace and move on. No one hears about it and I don't whine about it. I've come to the conclusion that if what I did does not suit you, then you are more than welcome to your own devices and ignore me. At the end of the day, I'm just here to converse and show off my collection.

So to keep it on topic, here's to the best (and really only 1 of 2 games I've played in 2019). This is the Red Dead Redemption II Collector's Box that was a GameStop exclusive.












Up next is a game that finally completes my NA 7th generation CE/SE/LE for all Xbox 360 and PS3. As far as I'm aware, other than the two ridiculously expensive editions, I should be complete now. I've considered going through them all and photographing them but that would be a major undertaking and not sure if it's worth the payoff if I feel I don't get the necessary feedback for it. I mean what's the point of doing it all if no one cares, right? Anyways, here is the Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition to cap off my completion. Trust me, the SO is absolutely happy about this.



Next, I have a couple miscellaneous items I received through the holidays as gifts. You can't look a gift horse in the mouth and I'll take any little trinket I can get that relates to my collection! We have a little retro arcade that fully functional at playing Galaga and Pac-Man. A company called Totaku released a Master Chief at GameStop and my GameStop Manager friend gave me this little pin that he was given. Kind of a cool little trinket and bag.



Now for the statues. First off, we have the Diamond Edition for the Borderlands Butt Stallion that the aforementioned controversy was about. And next to that is a comparison to the regular version that's no so glamorous but just as special, lol.



Now, I'm curious to know, because I didn't see Liuken show this one off. I want to know if he has this statue? Apparently, some company named Gaya Entertainment made this Nathan Drake statue and was only released in Europe. I was able to get a decent deal on this one as most were selling above $100 for it. I would not suggest buying this if it's that much as the quality of the statue veers toward a statue you would receive packed in with a game since it appears to be made of PVC. Take that info for what it's worth. The face looks a little off and some of the paint doesn't look like it blends well but other than that, it's not a bad statue. Just not more than $50 worth.






And lastly, in trying to keep up with all the statues for the Bioshock line, GamingHeads released both the Rosie Big Daddy and Elizabeth statues. I bought the Exclusive versions of both and confirmed Rosie's head lights up and Elizabeth's base does too. I tell you what, Rosie's head was interesting to figure out as there was a "hidden" button to activate and color change.



Well, I hope you guys had a great holiday season and I hope you enjoyed my latest update. Thank you to those who keep up with my updates and for allowing me to "compare notes" with you.

Nice update man, but, that Red Dead Redemption box was not exclusive to Gamestop, it was being sold pretty much everywhere.

Aw, man. So, GameStop lied to me? Typical, lol.

Yes, and I hope Gamestop never offer a non-game included CE ever again. The store associates had issues understanding what to place a preorder for (Ultimate Edition vs this box).

Hope you like the box, I found it to be better quality than I originally anticipated. Was definitely worth the $100 retail IMO.

Love the Butt STallions - I'd buy them for my collection but they're always fantastically overpriced on Ebay.

Thanks, man. So... do you have that Nathan Drake statue? I'm trying to determine if I have an Uncharted item that you don't. I guess I could always go look at your collection again and find out myself but it's always better to get it from the source, lol.

I agree. I know these kind of editions can be very polarizing but I was willing to buy this since it was Rockstar. They do tend to make really good CE's. The worst one I can think of is Max Payne 3.

On the Butt Stallion, I'm very happy to have it and they do tend to be overpriced especially since it seems they are prone to breaking. They are getting harder and harder to find too.

I do wish when Treehouse was around that they would release the Zero statue. I never did hear what happened to that one after they opened it up for preorders. Would've been nice to see them all.

And MP3 really wasn't an extremely bad CE either.

I'd sell off a large portion of my collection to fund a Zer0 statue.... never knew they had even though about releasing one.
