Yodabreaker,
I certainly appreciate your comments, and I also ALWAYS respected your oppsition opinion! You certainly do have the right to be angered and feel as though someone might be hurting the integrety of a game that you enjoy. I respect ALL of your comments both before and since my statement. Again, I generally don't promote or comment about my own ebay activity on these boards because that is not what I am about. I just didn't want any further speculation about it because I have nothing to hide.
Thanks again for your outspoken and opionionated comments both before and since because that is one of the things that I truely respect most about you.
Your not affraid to say what you feel, but in a insightful and NON inflamatory manor.
Bottom line. It is what it is, and everyone has a right to feel or react however they wish. I have no hard feelings either way.
To be honest, I would have been happy to keep the extra set as well. I may need them in a few months with all the breakage! ;-)

Although I started this forum, it only exists because of the people who come. So my opinion is not the "way of the board" but I see no problem with this at all.
If you traded with Lonestar, or anyone for that matter, you traded to get what you wanted and give up what you didn't. If that figure went on ebay, or buried in a time capsule it shouldn't matter.
So a collection like that is very impressive, and chances are other ones like it will show up on the board. So just be cautious as to what you say since you never know who is reading. That is all.

Yodabreaker, I certainly appreciate your comments, and I also ALWAYS respected your oppsition opinion! You certainly do have the right to be angered and feel as though someone might be hurting the integrety of a game that you enjoy. I respect ALL of your comments both before and since my statement. Again, I generally don't promote or comment about my own ebay activity on these boards because that is not what I am about. I just didn't want any further speculation about it because I have nothing to hide. And I also appreciate your forthrightness in making all of this plain. I've also been heartened to see someone else who's willing to explicate the reasons and assumptions behind his arguments, as it lets an analytical SOB like me at least understand what's behind the thinking of someone who has come to different conclusions than me. Now that I understand more of what was going on, I don't feel like the integrity of the game is being hurt from your activity - far from it. And I you I'm glad you see that I at least try to show the method behind my madness in as non-flaming a way as I can. Hehehe...breakage? In a kinetic game like Attacktix? Naaaaaahhhh...no one's ever broken anything on here... True 'nuff, especially since he's by far the most frequently cited good trader on here! Point taken. Can I have a third contest entry of me eating a crow Attacktix? ;D

This is my last public post in this thread. I just want to empatically state that in my opinion No one needs to eat crow or feel that their passionate opinion can't be articulated and expressed. Nothing was said nor taken in any way other than the expression of that opinion. That is what this forum is for, and why we are all here. We all love Attacktix and want to share and see others enjoy it as much as we do. We all have different views, creativity, rules, on how to play, use, and trade our figures. That is what this community is all about. For each of us to express and share our views, rules, and creativity. As pointed out by Yodabreaker, it helps us to learn, challenge, and question our own views as much as expressing them to others. I welcome all that this discussion has brought forth, and the only reason I made my opinion public in this tread, was so there would be nothing hidden. I welcome many more discussions about what we can do to make the game and experiance more fun for all. No matter who agrees or disagrees as long as it was done and meant as tactful as possible, and YodaBreaker for one has always done that! I especially respect and appreciate his passionate and creative opinions and lessons in our gaming community. Ok enough of all that. Lets get back to gaming!

i'm siding with lonestar too, i collect black base for my son and the chromes for myself (which don't get played with) and i'm trying to trade a complete collection myself which is proving very difficult. but considering the rareness of chromes the value is much higher than black base and is set purely by the collector, if someone is willing to pay to not have to buy 300 boosters to get a complete chrome set, more power to them. yeah lonestar, although i wish you'd put a few of those up for trade, hmmmm.
