An honest review would be accepted and well received by most of the members, as long as it was done so that it wasn't product bashing.

The Staff of the Flying Giants has no problem with statements of of problems of drawbacks of any product. The problem is with product or manufacture bashing.

There have been some problems with a few isolated members lately that have the need to stir up problems and arguments. This is the type of posts that will be edited or removed.

Agreed Wizard. I tried not to lay blame on any one manufacturer, only as a whole that I felt more items could have been for sale.......

On convention purchasing, dont buy any thing there you can get at the local hobby shop. Support the lhs every chance you get. If your lhs doesn't stock items you want first ask them to order it for you before you order it online or buy it at a convention.

Why? Are we over moderating the site? You may think so, but we're not. We have the ability to track staff action and there is almost none here.

We just prefer to keep it free of the typical old lady knitting circle BS that is prevalent on other sites.

Got a real problem with someones product? Post it. Let us know the facts, I actually like to know whats going on out there.

Start injecting personal feelings and bashing,slamming etc and we will do something about it.

Dude, I didn't ask you to do a review on it - I stoked you out as a bro of FG would and asked you to say something nice about it! LOL! This was a tradeshow, and I can see your point, and I don't think your point is right/wrong/bad/whatever. Thanks for telling us your perspective.

BTW, the highlight of the show for me was riding that Segway the dude had. That was SWEEEET!

That dude almost ran over me like 4 times on that thing. Did you crash it like your planes????

I'm trying to finish up the last parts of the ETOC video to finish the review on it. You guys did good on it, my critiques will only be to make the next one even better!

Again another awesome time hanging with the Giants...

Default Re: Sweetpea's visit at the AMA Convention

From what I can tell, Sweetpea had certain expectations and they weren't met. So be it. Since this was his first AMA Convention, and that is understandable. Next year he will know what it is all about and make his decision to attend (or not) based on his experiance. I, like others have stated go to see the new products that are displayed and hang out with people that I don't get to see very often.

I myself had a good time, but I wasn't really looking to buy things this time. Thanks to all that attended and made this an enjoyable weekend.

Sweetpea,

We have a hobby show/convention up here in the Toronto area, Ya , it sucks not many deals period, entrance fee crazy for what you see.
I know it's a distance for you to travel but the Toledo show is the one for you, lots of vendors that sell , good prices, $ 7.00 to get in great food near by. And The Giants as well..
Just my Two cents!!

Dave..

Oh, I'd love to attend Toledo.

That's the one I've heard so much about.....but I doubt I can make the travel, hotel, food fees.
