"Thank You Wreck!"
I find it extremely rude that people attack the only person who has truly acted as a protector of the steelbook collector community no matter what forum you have been on! I try my hardest to make things happen in many forms of the industry from studios, retailers, marketers, and so forth. Phone calls, conference calls, live meetings, etc.
I dont do it solely for HDN, I've always done it to keep the passion alive in the hobby that we love of steelbook collecting. No matter what forum is a person's "home" forum.
Most of you have not even been on this forum for a year let alone even been collecting since the beginning of BD steelbooks. If you knew of my accolades you wouldnt dare question what i say nor would you be so rude to want to call me out on if I were wrong "one" time.
It's a damn shame that Wreck would receive any negative, disrespectful crap for anything he's ever done!
NO ONE will ever help you more to bring you a great website and forum to provide you access and information, to virtually every release in the world of collectable packaging for blu-ray discs, film related collectables, etc.
NO ONE is more knowledgeable or more up to date than Wreck regarding releases. If he doesn't know something, he does everything humanly possible to find answers. Answers to products... NOT RELEASED, MANY TIMES NOT MANUFACTURED YET, NO PRE-PRODUCTION PHOTOS AVAILABLE, NO PRINT INFORMATION MADE AVAILABLE YET!
It's amazing how much information he gathers to help keep everyone informed! Many times, the result of the relationships he has established within the industry. An industry that respects the hell out of him and knows how valuable he is to them.
It's equally amazing how accurate Wreck is when you see the final result of a particular release. Especially, considering all the possible changes, alterations, cancellations, evolution of a release, etc. that can and do happen during the course of normal business.
Changes that Wreck has nothing to do with. With limited influence other than providing businesses positive insight and what their customers want.
This is not an issue if Wreck is right or wrong! He doesn't make this information up, throw crap out there with the endless premature speculation. Someone passed information on to him, at the time that, may have been accurate or not, but always subject to change.
Now, Wreck can sit back and let the guessing game go on, or try to find SOME information and pass it along until he hears or learns of an update. Personally, I love what he and others pass along when they learn of it. They always update us as soon as they hear anything... so that we learn of the change.
Every new thread regarding a release, people ask the same questions wanting particulars for something that hasn't even been been manufactured yet.
So, what's this crap about now?
Someone, trusted and or credible, gave Wreck information that may have changed or been inaccurate?
I for one appreciate EVERYTHING he and his amazing staff do for ALL of YOU and myself! If you do, please make it known to Wreck and ALL of the staff!
Every time I look in the Group Buy section, I see the same people posting Group Buys for International members for US and Canadian releases, UK, German, French, etc. hosts posting Group Buys for US, Canadian, and International members. Some individuals don't realize the extent of all their hard work, time, trouble, inconvenience, and expense to help you and further this website and forum.
Don't take these amazing people and all this goodwill for granted! This doesn't come around every day in this world!
First, Thank You... Andy, Drum, Digital Babe, and the entire amazing staff of Hi-Def Ninja Forums and All the Group Buy Hosts and Helpers and Membership of this amazing website and forum! You ALL know what you have built and continually work your asses off for!
And to you, Wreck.
I am so sorry for the way a few have treated you. I greatly appreciate everything you have done to help so many.
This has been so petty and ridiculous.
I respect and admire what you have built with your friends.
It's a damn shame anyone could find anything negative in what you do for us.
(Please delete my post if you find anything you feel is out of line, improper, outside of the spirit of your website/forum, or makes you feel uncomfortable...)
