I never received the one Lab dio that I bought. So I am mad about all of this from that perspective. Even if I end up getting one from them that they receive back from a different customer, I would much rather get a brand new item like I paid for. Because of NECA's mistake, it's a total nightmare for all of us. No one wins here.

Exactly. Basically what I'm illustrating as well. The way educated and civilized people do things is you send it back and you don't buy from them again. Then you have the pathetic life-angry who get by on any technicality - "you don't HAVE to send it back - I want it".

It's convict mentality. Someone leaves a hat on the day room table and another convict "just takes it" and justifies by saying "it was just sitting here" and you literally have to tell these $#!(bags "yeah but it's not yours, put it back".

Sociopaths don't get it and will argue the technicality forever, morality and common sense be damned. Funny though how galvanized the sociopaths become when the tables are turned though.

Except nobody went to the NECA warehouse and took one that was just sitting there. These were mailed to people. So your analogy makes zero sense.

Also, it’s not a technicality, it’s literally a law.

It makes perfect sense.

Don't be a dick. Send it back.

It’s because they truly don’t know who got 2 and who didn’t. They are scrambling and creating a PR nightmare in the process.

Nah. They’re a multi million dollar company and their customer service is horrible. They deserve this.

So what immoral things do you do that you do on a daily basis that you should not be doing? Quit pretending to be living on some moral high ground than others here. If NECA gave a hoot about it's customers (like QC issues etc), people would likely want to help them out. But it's not the case. Amazing how responsive NECA is when it comes to wanting their money.


On facebook- Just heads up, NECA is providing bogus tracking numbers to PayPal and they are going along with it. Will be loosing 88 dollars on the first turtles. I already bought the street scene diorama so neca has that money too. Hope they enjoy it. Done with them. Just giving everyone a heads up that opens a dispute be ready to spend a ton of time on the phone with PayPal and still possibly lose your money. If I would have known, I wouldn’t have spent so much time on the phone for 88 bucks

"Waiting for the defenders of morality to show up to tell us how we should continue to supports Neca and do the "right" thing.
**** Neca!"

This has nothing to do with me.

I'm calling out behaviour that you are advocating. I don't even know if you're sitting on an extra playset. But you seem awfully sensitive about it. Being generous , I figure you're just a troll. Otherwise, if the shoe fits...

I like the toys they put out so I buy them. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna bail them out when they mess up.

Apparently I'm NOT interpreting this correctly and they can legally request the product back at their expense, and also charge you if you don't return it.

Still an awful look, though.

(That said, I'm not going to pretend I won't buy giant Krang if he ever comes out.)

yes it does. You're in here pretending to be on the moral higher ground.

I didn't purchase any of the playsets because they are over-priced for what you get. I'd say the sensitive one is YOU ordering others around here to send theirs back when they don't have to.

Never said I was done with NECA, but a huge amount of social media posts say they are. Neca is trying to take money from customers and you seem to be okay with that. Quit your White knighting. There is nothing in it for you

The analogy makes perfect sense. What you choose to see as an analogy on 'taking and receiving' is actually an analogy on excuse making and justifying behavior.

I'm not pretending to be on anything. There is a moral high ground.

It's fun to watch you try to spin things to try to make it seem otherwise.

But you are right about my misquoting you being done with NECA. So you can chalk that up as a little win if it makes you feel better. Doesn't change the fact that people are talking themselves into keeping, or profitting from, the set when they shouldn't.
