Well, yet another new figure set announced by Asmus for M ("Girl Crush"), and yet we get nothing for this fucking project we've invested a shit-load of money to. I've fucking had it with these bullshit custom projects where we're expected to PAY UP FRONT for shit that hasn't even been fucking made yet. How about we only pay a portion up front -- and we pay the balance when we see the end is near -- or we pay the artists directly, instead of trying to go through a third party who ends up running off with our fucking money! And, of course, since it's demanded that we send ALL the money right away -- and so goddamn long ago -- we have absolutely no recourse in getting our money back through PayPal. I've lost all patience for this sort of bullshit! I've been working one on one with an artist to make projects for me and NOT ONCE does he ask me for money up front. And somehow, it's all worked out, and we're both happy. This demanding everything get paid up front -- sending thousands of dollars, only to be put in a several year-long queue, because they start working on 30 other projects at the same damn time -- to then never seeing the end result is FUCKING INSANE!!!! FINISH ONE FUCKING PROJECT BEFORE YOU START ANOTHER ONE, GODDAMMIT!!!! Then maybe people won't fall off the planet before all the money comes through. Expecting people to stay in touch on projects that go on for 3 - 4 years, and expecting their circumstances will never change (death, loss of job, loss of interest, etc.) is beyond fucking stupid.
