I have to admit, I was partially responcible for people not learning at the last seminar (spent the first 15 minutes heckling him in the front row, I have a thing about "Flesh Tone" plastic)
I didnt think it was that bad. part of the problem is, a lot of peole didnt attend the second seminar, he answered a lot of questions we had fromt he first one, what tools to use, and even gave out a list of stuff to get, like what paints, dremel tools and other stuff we might need
See the problem here is most professonals know this and save the boring parts for the second seminar and the informitive/exciting parts for the first. A High School math teacher knows this (not that they practice it).
And still even if he was heckled, he put himself out there and should have expected it.
Before anyone says I am too critical let me remind everyone: $115
Which is the whole thing that bugs me about toy collecting: greed. From scalpers ($30 for a Firefly ay arse, if it was a good figure I could understand) to customizers overpriceing to everything else, its just insane.
Thank goodness for statements like this:

Cause at least someone is asking something senceable that probably would be given anyway.
Seriously the greed is just outragious.
No wonder kids hate toys, I would be resentfull too if a fat man chaged me an arm and a leg to enjoy them.
Heh, that line is going on my wall.
