Then everyone who watches it on the internet won't tune in for the premiere. Then the premiere will get lower ratings than it would have. Then the folks at CN and Mattel say, "gee, I guess Foster's isn't as popular as we thought. Maybe we shouldn't greenlight 6th season/put out lots and lots of Foster's toys."
If this guy waited until after the premiere, that would have been another thing. Please don't support this guy. What he's doing is wrong.
And while I'm here, I'd like to thank you all for this forum, which I check regularly. Of all the animation forums that discuss our show, yours is the most thoughtful. You are all honest about your opinions without being judgemental or rude, and you discuss what we do with intelligence and depth.
Yay for you guys!!:bloogrin      |
Thank you SO much for your comments, Lauren! They really do mean a lot to me, and I'm sure that I'm speaking for the rest of the members and "crew" on this forum, as well! I suspected that this person on Ebay was someone who'd gotten stuff for reviewing, and it's so sad that he/she is deciding to sell it. Such an item to me, like that huge Wilt doll that Sparky made and you and Craig signed for my birthday, would be absolutely priceless, like a family heirloom, and there is no way I would part with it. I'm by no means a rich person, and often DO get "hard-up for money", as we say down South, but I'm old enough to appreciate the emotional value of things more than the financial values, since the latter will always go up and down, and eventually down, while the emotional worth of something always increases to the person it means the most to.
Again, thank you!
