Thank you for that, dunno how can someone get that interpretation of what i wrote





Maybe i should do the same since mine is ok.
Gonna close that facebok page and let fellow collectors deal with their own ****...
Yeah keep doing nothing and lament until our precious 400+ figure starts to rot.
What will happen will happen...

BTW who the dumb a-hole that dared to compare any of this to the civil right era?

Any Civil Rights comparison is ridiculous, but its not hard to see that peeps tire of HT. I also find it REALLY unfair that HT will not refund/ exchange ALL the figs that are damaged. By not standing by their product, no matter who you bought it from, says A LOT about the company and how collector unfriendly they are. Sorry to see some of you hit by this, $400 is not chump change.

Not sure the silicone grease is a bad ideal considering there are guys, me included, who bought their EDs from sources outside of Sideshow and they/we have no other option than to try and preserve the rubber.

If it's a chemical reaction that's occurring, we're *****ed. But if the rubber is simply prematurely dry rotting, there is a chance this could stop it or prevent it from starting all together.

Does anyone know if the guys at the other forums are experiencing the same thing?

Well if it is actual rubber that silicone grease might help but cmon we know its not rubber, HT was too cheap to even use rubber this time.
Lets all stop calling it rubber as even I know rubber doesn't rot this damn quick, only HT knows what it really is.

Those were the comments I was referring to. Anyway, honestly at this point I'll happily lose $400.00 than be preached to by some of the clowns in this thread.

I agree whole heartedly. Mine has no issues and believe me ive checked it everyday with magnifying glass. If mine ever does show deterioration i would be more then willing to spread the word or complain through the proper channels, but since mine does not it seems rather pointless and premature to do so if one i do have shows no issues. For anyone to bash and call people names or sheep cAuse they dont is ignorant. If yours has issues by all means do what you must, but please stop telling everyone that theres will end up like **** just like theres will be.

I could be mistaken, but I could have sworn a member here named ashkanls was selling replacement domes on eBay a year or two ago.

With all the people returning their EDs, and now the rubber elbow & hip boot problems, I'm not sure how many people will still be interested in buying a dome from me

UPDATE: I am dealing with my health issues, and things are going ok.
I still plan to fabricate replacement domes, and my own ED dome is still showing no signs whatsoever of cracking. With all the people returning their EDs, and now the rubber elbow & hip boot problems, I'm not sure how many people will still be interested in buying a dome from me, and if it will be worth the effort; however, I am still going to make the mold at least for my own ED, so the mold can produce others if there is enough interest.
