I understand that negative comments aren't inherently good or bad, I understand criticism is necessary, but when you (proverbial, not you you) start throwing the word "schill" around at people who want this or are excited I think it's escalated. When people are giddily reporting the loss of backers, I think it's escalated And there's criticisms to be made of this whole thing towards those in the "back this" side too. But that sort of makes the point doesn't it? That there's all of a sudden "sides" in this, that toy collecting has also found a way to be an "us vs them" thing like every other thing. It all feels bad. And uniquely bad, as there doesn't seem to be anything equivalent. That was my point.

Toy collecting has always been about the us vs them. That's marketing. Its in Pop culture DNA. Choose a side and support it. And it could either be passive or agressive. Agressive tends to be more productive in the long run. Cant make an omlete if you don't break some eggs. And any other like analogy.
