You're sure acting like one regardless of when you signed up for how long you've been a member. You're certainly allowed to state your opinion, but when you go on and on about it it gets repetitive bringing up other issues you've had with the company that aren't relative to this statue at all. Man of pvc? that sounds like trolling considering the vast majority of people who got theirs thoroughly accepted it and enjoy it on their shelves. I'm assuming you're also talking about the R2D2 PF? Get over it, people love that piece and if you ever thought it would be polystone, well you were not really being realistic in your expectations. It would've been IMPOSSIBLE to get all the moving parts, lights, and little details in polystone. That medium is not designed for that nor would it have looked half as good. The other ones you mention have definitely had their assortment of issues, but again none of that is relevant to this piece whatsoever. You were talking about a business decision the company made and are acting like it's a personal attack on you and your family. Guess what man, they aren't out to get you or do you any wrong. They're just a company producing toys.
I understand if you've had some difficulties recently with some pieces and I feel for you if that is the case. I've had my share of broken pieces and disappointments as well, but such is life. There is no reason to vent your hate on this piece when others are in here because they're looking to enjoy the upcoming release and you're sitting there calling people "fools" and "blind", as you so eloquently put it, for not tearing apart the internet over this. Life and this hobby is a lot more enjoyable when you don't let things like this rile you up so much. Things happen, things change, I move on, and I look at the better part of the scenario: the positive side.
And to answer your questions: Yes, a company is allowed to change their minds on things. Again, it's a business.
