I'm generally not one to brag, hard as that may be to believe. And I hate to say \"I told you so.\" But hey, I told you so.<\/p>\n

You may remember that I got a bit... pissy, to be entirely honest, in a recent blog post<\/a>. It was the complaints about Hasbro Legends Series 2 that set me off. Everyone was bitching about the prototype photos shown in the newest issue of ToyFare<\/i> magazine, and I said you can't judge them yet because they were old photos.<\/p>\n

Now we have word from Jesse Falcon himself. And what did he say?<\/p>\n

Those pictures are of handmade samples form Hong Kong. Those samples do not represent the finished deco or the finished placement of parts at this time. It was a bit of a slip up that those<\/b> samples were photographed for press release. ... The samples that I received were better in a lot of ways ... but there are still some tweaks that need to be made before they're ready to ship.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gee, imagine that. Who ever<\/b> would have guessed?<\/p>\n

So all I ask, really, is that you make sure you have all the information before you start making blanket statements. Hasbro Legends 2 might suck, but no one knows it yet...<\/p>\n
