Burra,
First there was the announcement, then information comes through as it is formulated.
Seems to me the only way that Rian could ever have got anywhere near to keeping everyone happy ( like thats ever going to happen) was to make public absolutely EVERY piece of information from the start - you know this isnt possible. you have a concept that you commit to, its important to get that info out as soon as poss to create interest and then as the finer details are worked out they become public. No doubt everything is subject to change if necessary.
Collection or container??
I have over 20 pins in my collection - 5 of these will be up for sale - does that mean i cant say that i own them?? And that they are not actually in my collection?? Cors not.
Business is business and if Rian sees this as the best way for him to recoup the funds then that is his choice - all in all, doesnt matter one bit if anyone approves or not
