Ghost Variant

[Sandflea]

There is a reason I will never buy anything from Larry or his business directly. Glad to see that he doesn't mind doing things like this to continue to make me feel good about my decision to not support him directly.

Interesting that we do not see the Ghost Variant folks coming over here and spouting off on the Phantom thread... Hrmmmmm Maturity. And, another fan is lost. This one right here.

There is a TON of valid bad blood between the Ghost & the Phantom programs.

I could care less about what the CGC board vermin think about me.

Your collective actions speak volumes.

 

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy...

 

 

Larry is more butt-hurt about the Ghost variant than a Jerry Sandusky victim.

 

 

Below the belt (pun intended).

Ha Ha!

Yet he will gladly spam the out of these boards with all his junk. If he isn't a paying advertiser on these boards shouldn't the MODs be made aware of this and shouldn't he be treated like anyone else who spams these boards?

 

He controls the Phantom program and many other key variants (I am of course talking about the Justin Bieber Fame Cover) - Its his behaviour on the boards that make me come back again and again.

 

I would also like to say I think people that say "I would never do business with that person" implying they would never buy from someone's store - had no intent on purchasing the items that person was selling in the first place - its just a hilarious cop out that means nothing.

Do you care that the expression is actually, "I couldn't care less"...?!?

Ahhh, insults.

 

His repeat custom must be stellar if he talks/deals with his customers that way.

 

No way would I dream of alienating one potential customer, let alone thousands in one fell swoop!!

 

I doff my cap to you Larry, you Americans certainly love to do things big!!

[KONG]

I wonder why Larry deleted that comment?

I have almost all the Phantom variants purchased from other members/stores so I don't know who exactly you wanna direct that comment towards.

 

You know what is a real cop out, having to act like you are not who you really are when board members try to approach you in real life to say hi. Yeah that is a cop out.

Really...? I bought from Larry once before and the transaction itself was fine. However, I find him to be an obnoxious, arrogant, and offensive individual, and I don't care for the way he treats others, so I will now spend my money elsewhere. It is a personal choice on my part. I would rather not financially support someone that belittles their customer base whenever someone disagrees with him. Why is that so hard to believe?

I believe the children are our future

Teach them well and let them lead the way

Show them all the beauty they possess inside

Give them a sense of pride to make it easier

Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

There you go again This "hive of scum" will hold a lot of your customers and I should think that you would hold them in higher regard

 

Shut it, vermin. Take your measured, reasonable response elsewhere.

I wonder why Larry deleted that comment?

And took down whatever the link was to?

What many seem to forget is that the whole comic retailer game is a existential fight for dollars. These dueling variant programs, exclusive retailer groups, divide rather than unite.

 

Retailers excluded from the Ghost group saw it as an attack on their business - fighting for more dollars - and reacted by fighting to get those dollars back.

 

There is quite a bit of stuff going on both ways between these two groups, most of it in mass social media. The Ghost guys aren't active here, Phantom is, so we only see one side of the war. The other side is doing the same sort of sometimes not so good-natured banter elsewhere.

 

I agree that Larry would sometimes better be served by letting his product speak for itself. Heck, Larry himself would probably agree. But that's not the way he rolls.

 

IMHO.

Yeah but his insult was aimed at everyone here on the boards not the Ghost variant people. That's not cool...

"I decide long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow. If I fail, if I succeed, at least I live cause I believe... no matter what you take from me, you can't take away my dignity."

(ashamed I know that )

And you should be.

This is just stuipid and not really even about the ghost variant anymore. This is why most bronies live by the "love and tolerate" motto. You get to ignore all this *spoon* in bliss.

[cbalroman]

I feel the same way about Whitney Houston.
