Jamar, my friend...high road
. You know what though? That's neither here nor there. This post isn't about HissTank or inter-board silliness, it's about BFTB & the info that Dave shared today.
Dave, the thread in question been front paged. There's something very unique here that needs explaining, on many different levels.
Many fans that are vocal in our community now are younger. They're geared towards the 25th & Modern Era style toys and don't care too much for the "Older Generation" stuff. That's not to say that they're ignorant, but just indifferent on the topic.
You then have the "Old Schoolers" like myself that are also conflicted. We are all amazed by the finding of this info but of course have our doubts, because let's face it, we're old & jaded (Lord knows I am). *I'm of course kidding about the Jaded part....but if the shoe fits.
This is great news but you will always have those that have their doubts. You will always have those that just shrug it off because it's nothing "new"...but you will also have those that applaud the info shared today and look forward to any more info provided on the topic.
I personally hope that the story of Bombadier causes younger fans to take more of an interest in the rich history of G.I.Joe on both sides of the pond. That said, the Web is an angry place, so as a bit of advice, be sure to take the high ground if/when you start taking slack from all the nay sayers (like me
).
So, to finally end this rambling post, Congrats on on the solid report and thanks for sharing this news. Jim, Dave...if this is a wicked April Fool's Joke...then damn you both, I expect a pint from both of you.
Cheers
Erick
