[QUOTE=Yeticus Rex] I can’t wait for the 2nd installment video where dude comes home, finds his “action figure” in pieces, and then proceeds to tell the fiance that he had another collector lined up to buy it so he in turn, can make the final payment for her engagement ring. Naw…I’d rather watch him flip out and kick her to the curb. [/QUOTE] Well, they say make-up sex is the hottest… Maybe he’ll have a different view of things if she sobers up, gets real contrite and _freeeky_. ---

I’d have her ass on the curb outside so fast her head would spin. ---

[QUOTE=Mangetout] These aren’t 1970s highly-collectible never-been-opened action figures though, are they? I think These are contemporary Franklin Mint-type ‘limited edition’ collectors sculptures. Expensive, for sure, but not valuable. Or am I just wrong about that? [/QUOTE] You’re right. I’d have to watch the video again to make check for sure that he doesn’t have any vintage ones hidden in there but…I’m not up for that. ---

Dump her, hell. If that video’s for real, he should file criminal charges against her. ---

[QUOTE=MacTech] Apparently the company making these scale models requests that in the case of a defective/flawed/cosmetically imperfect piece, they ask that the defective/damaged/flawed piece be _destroyed_, and you send them photographic proof of the destruction, before they replace the piece it’s entirely possible, plausible in fact, that this video is nothing more than a staged, fake video, made to prove to the manufacturer that said figure has indeed been destroyed, they just went about it in a more creative way than is typical however, if it _IS_ real, well, what more can I say that hasn’t already been said, the women in the video are nothing more than shallow, materialistic, scruffy-looking Nerf-Herders, and deserve any legal hardships and loss of relationship that result from this little video [/QUOTE] According to a guy I know who marches in the Disney World Star Wars parades as a stormtrooper, judging by the various special club marching patches and other things in that video that only a hardcore fan would know, the owner of that collection can pretty much be narrowed down to one, happily married, guy. (No, not the guy I know.) Also, a friend of mine pointed out that you can see some very male-looking shoes being worn by the camera-…man? So yes, it does sound like it’s an amusingly-done “please send me new figure thx” video. ---

[QUOTE=astro] I didn’t see any patches in the video? [/QUOTE] I double-checked his note - he says there’s one commemorative patch, a Christmas ornament “on the middle top shelf”, and some coins which are all very limited edition and for a particular club/clubs. I didn’t check that closely but I assume recognizing this stuff is easy for him. ---

And the [follow-up video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E_LAhYRkdc). For those who don’t want to watch it to see what the guy did to his fiancee and the other women who smashed his prize toy: Nothing. He was, in fact, holding the camera for the whole thing, and they were destroying it so he could get a replacement from the company. It was done up that way as a joke and a creative way to provide proof of the item’s destruction. ---
