Should customers not have basic expectations for any store? It's unacceptable for any business, period.

With that said, I'm satisfied that they're willing to post an apology (which they have on both days); and inform customers who emailed that it wasn't going to happen. I hope they sort this out on their end because it sounds like they're frustrated too.
1. that is bs: Shepard is God.

2. If you don't like the system, don't try and get a print. People have been complaining about the system (I for one) right after, Bayonettes and Chinese Soldiers 2 dropped.


3. people are still going to b1tch about something. You can have the expectation of the store running better but, if you don't get a print...It wasn't good enough.

Get real here.

You must admit that b1tching because you don't get a print and b1tching because OG couldn't get the print to drop for 3 days are different. I've done both and my complaints at not getting a print can easily be dismissed.. that's the fun of the pursuit right?

My position is how the real world works --at least with legitimate business.

On 2: So you have complained about the system since for X amount of time, yet you contend that people who complain about not liking the system automatically should try to buy one. Right...

3: If you're tired of reading complaints, maybe you need to stop reading the thread?

Regardless, since the OG site has posted apologies, that undercuts the arguments of people who ironically "complain about the complainers". Its as real as it gets.

Clearly the three day (and counting?) wait isn't making anyone happy.

Keeping it real.......Good.

on your 2.. No, i've realized that I choose to put my self through he!!, no one is forcing me.

on your 3.. I wish i could stop reading, but like getting this print, it's kind of like crack.

I really don't think i was "complaning about the complainers" I was stating that: Demanding anything from OG/Shepard is a waste of time.

I love you, thanks for being my forum friend today :D

Peace

This is the new one ... the old post referenced 7/17 which this one does not do... they just left the original post date.

Thank you can you enlighten me to where the preview section is? Thanks.

Because saving $5 is gonna make everybody say "Now I can afford the co-pay on my xanax prescription! Thanks Shep!"

So who was it who asked, back in the 20s, what the over/under on this page going 40 pages would be?

Can I still place a bet? :)

I think the question is now: what is the over/under on this thread going a cool 100 pages?
