I hate facebook :( but yeah, it really is the bestest way around for advertising a small/new company.. and for big companies if you're not on it, you're not cool.

It's kinda sad to see people rely so much on it.

I don't think they're going to get another 400 likes anytime soon, that will take at least a few weeks.

BoW will be showing them off before then.

Having seen the unpainted models, they look awesome. Now, I really hope they don't screw up and paint them in bright primary colours.

I can understand the giveaways like this for a promo.
But there was a time when Mantic just released images of forthcoming models.

First black mark against Mantic for me.
Just goddam show the pics already.

Yeah, and it's sad to see people rely so much on telephones. Or writing. Or, you know... communicating with other people.

Yeah, it's a bit egotistical. Just show the product off.

It reminds me of Fanfiction.net. You always got people holding their stories hostage, threatening not to update unless they got so many reviews. But at least that had a kernel of merit in it: it's frustrating when you're looking for feedback so you can learn how to improve, but get nothing back. This is just whoring for likes.

Yeah, I can see what they're trying to do but I couldn't really care for it - just show the mini if you have it - it's far better. It's like they think facebook 'Likes' actually mean something.
