If true, as Torsten said...

UGH. UGH. UGH.

Don't trust in the slightest that this has anything to do with paying off debts.

As for "given"...

Thats very interesting.

I'd buy it in a shot of course...

I'd refuse to buy it in a shot if I suspected for a moment that any of the profits were going into the Lee brothers pocket.

"The publisher was Dreamwave but (the book) now is being published by a company called DreamEngine. As of today, our records still confirm that this item is to be released in early September. The original publisher of the company Dreamwave is now no longer in business, but the rights to their existing product have been given to DreamEngine."

As fans would also be aware, DreamEngine is the company Pat and Roger Lee formed in the final days of Dreamwave.

I'm not putting any money into the pockets of either, whatever they release, without some form of binding contract as to where the money's going—which, as far I understand it, the bankruptcy proceedings skirt obligation for completely.

To hell with the pair of 'em...

Hate DW, but I'm a completist so...

Screw that. I wouldn't buy it, despite being desperate to see how it finished.

I'd just download it off the 'net instead.

See this is why imo we never got especially good material from DW and how they were able to carry on screwing their employees over and their customers. People bought the stuff anyway.

This would seem to indicate that Dreamengine has the rights to publish new TF material, wouldn't it?

Personally, if Pat Lee winds up with the rights again, I'm done buying TF comics. Until guys like Don, Guido, Simon, Joe, etc are paid off, at least.

I'm hoping it means nothing more than TheyAreAmongUs are prone to reporting vague rumours...

...dunno, anyone read them regularly?

Can't help myself. Better a DW comic than NO comic. (covers head and waits for vicious fallout from TF forum).
Like I said: completist. I know it's wrong, but I've also got a ton of Pokemon cards here that demonstrates my inability to stop collecting something once I've started.
I need professional help. (goes to find 'massage' advert card from public phone box)

see this is where i really wish i were more normal so i could understand this sort of thing.

it's like brendocon when i told him i only collected transformers i liked, as oppose to all of them. the general reaction was O_O

not as bad as people who vote labour "cos theyre gonna win, no point voting for anyone else if they won't win..." god almighty!

God, I hope I'm not normal. Those people are dull.
If it helps, I want loads of different DVDs, but I can't afford them all. This makes my completist nature go nuts. Of course, the reason I can't afford them is that I'm buying TFs.
Not going to buy all of Galaxy Force though. That'll make my head explode.

between DVDs, pokemon and transformers you don't stand a chance

^ Perhaps if we all chip in, we could get Pat Lee blindfolded and dumped in Siberia?

Guido is also affected by the FedEx situation:

Heh, a guy offered lots of Energon toys on our hungarian TF topic, but only if one person buys all of them... he was shocked that we don't like all of Energon and went on a little rant that we are "toddlers" and "not real collectors". We told him to bugger off, no-one's gonna buy 2 Demolishors and a Tidal Wave to get some combiner limbs... bloody Star Wars trader, he was. Used to completist and fanatists.

Autobloke · Post by **Autobloke** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 7:21 pm

Hey! I'M a completist (but trying not to be anymore). Of course, this meant that I already HAD loads of Energon stuff and didn't want to buy it again. Did this guy join the board just to flog his crap? Butthole.

Also, Pat Lee will find it very hard to sell much (or even get employees, I'd imagine) after all of this bad publicity. Hopefully he'll have to sell all his shiney things (no, not the multiple incentive covers of his comics) and sack his skanky ho bitches to pay the bills.
If anyone sees him at a convention - or in the street - stick your finger in his friggin' eyeball!

Bwahahahaha.

Most of the really rare stuff in this fandom is awful. Like the Takara 'Primus' release.

If he can find "real collectors" to take that, more power to him... he'd have more luck with the toddlers, I suspect. They usually want everything and now.

Autobloke · Post by **Autobloke** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 7:40 pm

Toddlers are the only ones likely to fill their pants in excitement at the offer.

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Sun Apr 24, 2005 6:30 pm

Yeah... he was suprised 'cause I didn't wanted the E. Megatron, told him I was waiting for E. Galvy.

Worse yet, when he came up with Aerialbots and Terrorcons for sale, I told him I was only interested in Storm Jet and Treadshot. "No, all or nothing" What kind of an *** is he?

Fortunatly I joined forces with another fan who bought the other half of the stuff... but this is really ridiculous way of trading.

Oh and he forgot to mention in emails the toys were missing the cards...

Selling gestalts as sets I can at least understand...

It wasn't a set, it was Storm Jet, Treadshot, Skyshadow with DoomLock and Command Ravage.

BTW, I can't understand since these toys justcame out here...he buys them,opens them and sells them at once?

It's why they can screw people over and why the Glaziers are not worried about the current core of Man Utd fans.

Sheep mentality effectively lets business' rule over us with such ease.

Well, if it were to be published in sweden I sure as h*ll would buy it. Alas, as the filthy TF-fans here in sweden couldn't support the mag, (it stopped in the middle of TWW 1.. GRRR!!) it wont be.

I had to read the entire remainder of the DW-transformers electronically, and if this will be published I will no doubt read it too.

Cudos if it's released, I just want to read a good TF-story. hehehe

I`m with you there.

Man Utd fans are like that too. Mind you, there won`t be a Man Utd soon...
