The Slaughterhouse split opening gimmick kind of sucks in my opinion. It comes apart way too easily, I was hoping for a little more resistance instead of a case that just falls open. I wouldn't buy that style of slip from VS again unless they improved that aspect of it.

Do you think you'd ever get a word in during a live conversation? If she types too much, she probably talks too much.

That's the kind of flawed logic that can hamper a career. You may want to dial back your snap judgments of people you don't know. Being open and accepting of new and different kinds of people can earn you a reputation as the kind of person others wish to work with, a reputation I earned with great difficulty, as an autistic who had to work to understand and enjoy other people. Slamming the door, as it were, and gossiping over your perceptions, when you don't know someone, can earn you the opposite reputation and cause important doors to close for you. I make only two kinds of personal posts, here or anywhere else, either about someone I know/knew and know/knew well enough to speak about, or, when the occasion calls for it, someone who is being judged too harshly and deserves the benefit of the doubt. I find David DeFalco often falls into that second category, here in this forum.

Mine isn't loose, but I don't see them doing that case again. It really only makes sense for slaughterhouse.

Per the DF Facebook:
“LATE NIGHT SPECIAL: Tonight ONLY as we await the long delayed arrival of the much anticipated DEAD PIT Collector's Edition...MARY, MARY BLOODY MARY the drive-in cult classic ON SALE for $14.99! And we have the ONLY remaining inventory on this title! But don't delay this deal will be gone as soon as the Demon wakes up tomorrow!:
darkforcesuperstore.com”

Demon yet again saying he has the only remaining inventory. When someone took him to task and posted the Ronin link he had this to say:

“Our mistake...they do have it for 27.95...13.00 more than what we are selling it for. But you guys continue posting Ronin links on this page is only instigating us to make sure Ronin doesn't get any more Code Red in the future and believe me we can make that happen.”

No matter what Demon thinks, Bill is not stupid enough to pull his current and future titles from Ronin Flix. I have no doubt Ronin sells 5x the amount of Code Red titles over Dark Force. Reason being MOST have never even heard of Dark Force, when compared to Ronin Flix. Ronin also has a sterling reputation when
It comes to customer service and shipping times. Oh yeah, and they don’t play games, take down their site 90% of the time and only put up 80 copies of new release a week.

Anyone posting comments on here with links to Ronin or any other stores will be put on a list and we will not sell the new DEAD PIT or GATES OF HELL to them as a punishment.

This falls into the childish category.

“THE LIST of DARK FORCE: WARNING! Anyone posting comments on this page that contain links to RONIN or any other store will be placed on a very special LIST of individuals that we will NOT be selling the new Collector's Edition DEAD PIT or GATES OF HELL/PSYCHO FROM TEXAS to.

Wow.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more unprofessional.
Certainly glad they’ll never release anything I’ll ever truly need.

That is the kind of thing David says as a joke, born of irritation, certainly, but funny nonetheless. He isn't in a position to guarantee that anyone wouldn't be able to get an order through to the site nor could he prevent someone else placing an order for another person. He knows this. Making this kind of threat and including the word "punishment" is classic DeFalco. Am I the only one who pays attention to the way David talks? Maybe it's all the useless training from when I was a Criminologist but I note behaviours like this as a reflex and this is precisely the kind of comment David makes to amuse himself, more than anyone else, and why shouldn't he, when life isn't always a fun time. Keep in mind, it's one thing to cancel duplicate orders, as VS does. It is quite another to blacklist all sales to people in a 100 mile radius to keep one guy from getting a copy of a movie and, again, David knows this. He may fantasize about it, but he's not going to waste any time trying to do it. Specifically asking another guy to post it is just gold, if you have a sense of humour. That alone gave him a laugh. Look at the next post on Facebook, you may see what I mean. "THE LIST of DARK FORCE: WARNING!" That's hilarious and I, for one, appreciate a good laugh, especially when alternative means of delivering a message would be less fun. He is responding to people on Facebook, specifically to drive home the message that they shouldn't be using his Facebook page to advertise for other vendors. Simply saying "Don't use my page to advertise for other vendors, please" wouldn't be very DeFalco, now would it. (I advise those of you who find this offensive to avoid Tyrus at all costs. If you find this offensive, Heaven help you if you ever meet him. He keeps a straight face, no matter what kind of joke he's making.) As to the Facebook banter, that is continuing and is a laugh riot. People are completely losing their minds over the idea of "The Dark Force List"....

[Braktastic]

I'm impressed the Dark Force goons can even write a list. But can they read it?

Dude, it's a joke. Even with a couple of people who got it, right in the beginning, posting, again and again, all of these moments of Chris Jericho yelling "You just made the list", a lot of people aren't getting this at all. David has started using all caps to say "YOU JUST MADE THE LIST" and still people are not getting it. It is an amusing and entertaining way for Dark Force to say, "Please stop advertising other vendors using our Facebook page" and, still, some seem to think he's crouching in a corner writing a list in blood or something.... Well, at least some people get the joke.

[nitin]

Maybe he could just stop pretending these titles aren’t also available anywhere else and then there would be no need for any of this. Or is that also allegedly part of his ‘humour’?

"It's posts are starting to get even more long-winded, and the blind allegiance to Dork Farce is vomit inducing. Might be tie for it to take a little break.

We were told by Bill the title was not available anywhere else. Ronin was hiding it until conveniently we started to promote it and then it magically appeared. But so what?? They are selling it for 27.95 and we are selling it for 14.95 and people are mad we didn't tell them about it. Go figure.

When you think it can't get any worse. I assume that the regular cheerleaders are posting about "clearly joke and you guys just don't know df like I do."

Are df shipping enough stock that they can start turning away business? The Carrier has been going out of stock for a year at this stage and yet every time the site is up for 3 hours out of the week there it is.

I think if you just said we are going to sell it for 14.95 which is much cheaper than it usually retails for, that would be promotion enough by itself?

Also, are you able to get any copies of 2019: After the Fall Of New York to sell for a decent price? You have Delirium, Steel Arena and Hands Of Steel atm for decent prices but I wouldn’t mind being able to order all 4 for one international order.

That comparison is misleading when DF charges $5.00 for shipping and Ronin includes shipping in the price.

An $8 savings is excellent. Exaggerating it to be a $13 savings that doesn't actually exist because of the shipping charge seems disingenuous.

He knows that cause he used to use that angle when he had free shipping.
