redcap your Sonrics pics really make me want to own some of these great coloured figures! Trouble is, I hate paying high shipping costs to get them from overseas (I'm UK). However, I think I'm going to just grit my teeth and pay as I really want some and I doubt any LRG UK members have got any doubles to sell. :wallbash:

I know I'm late to the topic, and I doubt it matters now, but it was this kind of stuff that made me stop caring about collecting in the first place. Guys hoarding, paying outrageous prices for rare figures that they already had, and really just being complete asses about collecting. The reason I loved this site so much was because of the camaraderie. "What, you don't have that figure? I have an extra, wanna buy it?" Very common. Dudes helping other dudes put together collections. It wasn't a competition, it was guys who loved collecting, banding together and sharing the love. After a while it turned into this battle, at which point it stopped being fun. I still don't have all the figures that I'd like to have, but it's just not worth the trouble anymore. And unfortunately, it was one collector that ruined it for me. Was that my fault? I dunno. I didn't have to stop, but it was that collectors fault that I stopped finding it to be fun. I like to think that I was pretty helpful and always willing to help out my fellow collectors. Some people don't play like that. Fine. But now I've gotten to the point where, when I found out that someone started 'following' my photobucket account, where I have tons of MIMP photos up, and I recognized the name of the collector, I set my account to private. That person made me not even want to share my photos. That, in my opinion, is the definition of a person who is bad for the hobby of collecting. I am proud however that one of my photos graces DW's Monster Collecting site.

Like I said, I used to LOVE this site, and not just because it helped me fill out my collection. I met some REALLY awesome people here, people that I actually still think about to this day, having not signed in for almost a year. Sites like this are what it's all about. But sometimes people show up and make you realize what the exact opposite side of the spectrum is like.

I didn't read the whole thread, just the first three pages and then a few posts at the end. I'm glad that DW has the site back up, but I completely understand why he initially took it down. It's tough to be part of such an awesome community and then all of a sudden start being fncxed over.

As for myself, I probably won't return to hard core collecting any time soon, what with my one and half year old son, and another on the way, I've got other things to think of now. But if I do return to collecting, this will be the first place I come because you guys (the vast majority of you, at least) are awesome.

Darryl, if you need any pics from my collection for monstercollecting.com please let me know and I will send them to you. Haven't gone through all my MIMPs yet but am posting them under collection pics as I go.
Any intents to post Peru series 2010 on monstercollecting?

Behemoth - I will put up the Peru Halloween figures at some point
just have to work out how they will be implemented at the moment.

ChristianG - Sure, I understand, perhaps why I decided to focus
on certain colours/sculpts. At least with a website of this nature
we all get a 'visual' collection to share. Take it easy!

I got a sick laugh out of the fact that, much like Darryl's posts here on LRG, his message on the site is all the way on the far left.

Sure, I have a lot of pictures of my collection including merchandise, but if there is any specific picture(s) you need let me know.

I could try and do some photos too sometime.. I sent a fair few to darryl in the past for his site. Though in future I'll attempt to make them less exposed.

Wonder if some scammer like that wolfmen git has pissed off Darryl.. shit happens and there are certainly a few people around who go out of their way to get what they want, but no offence to Darryl unless he's lost money or something like that (bar the fact almost every sale is done with paypal now so that shouldn't be the case), why not man up and get over it.

In the unlikely event that I am able to contribute pictures of anything that the aforementioned cannot, I volunteer assistance too.

I'm sure Darryl has very good reasons to be angry, but it'd be nice if a resource like this could be managed by someone who isn't going to pick his ball up and go home whenever something upsets him.
