Yeah, I don't know what Joe is talking about. Saying tariffs are essentially a tax on Americans is in no way whatsoever a "politically charged" statement. It's a literal fact that cannot be debated.

However, maybe he's not referring to Brian Flynn's layoff statement, and instead he's referencing his social media posts in general? If so, I wouldn't know, since I don't follow him. How "in-your-face" is he?

It’s always someone else’s fault…the customer….covid….fedex…tariffs… I never wish ill will nor do I relish people losing their jobs, but the issues surrounding Super7 have been here for sometime.
I’m not bothered by his politics, his opinion is just that, I’ve never found it good business to alienate half a population but whatever, I do care about the $55 figures that break, lack QC, sculpts that don’t match what’s shown for preorder….the fact that some of my Simpsons just explode out of the packaging and the fact that these $55 figures show up at Ross or discount on every online website.

I wish everyone involved good luck and hope that they can turn their company around. I am however leaving super7 in my past.

Yeah, aside from a few must-haves I've been shying away from Super7 stuff myself, for many of the same reasons. They're more worried about fancy packaging than the terrible QC of the figures inside of them, the bait-and-switch pre-order renders that don't match the final figures, and their customer service is ABYSMAL. They literally have ONE GUY who works it, and if he goes on vacation you have to wait for him to get back before you get a response.

I feel bad people are losing their jobs, and I enjoy the core concept of Super7 as a company, but they've been going off the rails for a while now.

Wow, you LOVE to race into Super7 threads and pound your chest about how "everyone else" gets it wrong except for you. It's pretty hilarious, but you need to chill, dude.

Oh, and I like Hasbro. They made me a ROM Spaceknight figure and it's awesome, and it's less than half the price of a Super7 figure.

There are people at HISS Tank who actually thought this company would end GI Joe Classified.

No rational human being ever thought that for a second, lol. But if you can link to just one post that said that, it would be awesome. I could use the laugh.

They make garbage, they overpriced said garbage, despite this they got someone to invest in said garbage, and STILL it's someone else's fault that they're laying people off.

I will concede that they seem to be hitting the layoff button REALLY fast. I mean, the tariffs only just hit and they're not even going to try and restructure or something? They just instantly toss everyone to the curb?

And yes, their stuff is overpriced, has bad QC, etc.

Here's the truth: Super7 is awful. The tariffs could be rescinded immediately and this wouldn't change. I laid out the issues a year ago-you don't have to back too far to read them-and it sounds like nothing's changed. Those reasons were based in reality. If that upsets anyone, too bad.

Nothing you say upsets anyone, because you're just pointing out super-obvious stuff.

That's pretty fucking underhanded if true.

Agreed, especially about the sub-human sewer-dweller that is Donald Trump.
