Personally I would agree with all of that...IN THE ARH CONAN THREAD. But here, in SIDESHOW'S FURY OF THE BEAST THREAD, all this off topic spruiking of the ARH piece is, frankly, rather grating. Especially when it happens SO DAMN OFTEN. If I want to read or discuss the ARH Conan then I'll do so in that thread, if on the other hand I'd rather discuss the Fury piece it should be able to be done without constant interruption and thread hijacking related to the ARH Conan.
In my view I think it's rather disrespectful to those who made the Fury piece to constantly have their thread hijacked in an attempt to shine light on another piece from another company, whether it is being distributed by Sideshow or not. I mean I don't see Quarantine or William Paquet hijacking the thread to constantly bring up Conan the Brutal, even though Sideshow is distributing that piece as well.
I have no personal issue with Averone, with ARH, with their Conan statue, or with those who like or even prefer it, I just wish that we could discuss the Fury Conan in the Fury Conan thread, Quarantine's Brutal Conan in the Brutal Conan thread, the Rage Conan PF in the Rage Conan thread, and yes, keep discussion of the ARH Conan to ARH's Conan thread. Sure, occasionally they might get a mention someplace else as well, and that's fine, but a rival product should never take over or become the focus of another statue's thread, as has too often been the case here.
My view anyway, for what little it is worth. And no offense intended to anyone.
