I agree, but if you go there.... all the board members should so the same. That would be a kick ass company. I've been saying that since day one.
I agree.
While, I don't like Benny using his own company as a supplier, I'm not going to argue against it. I think he should have folded his printing company into Red Giant from the beginning and avoided any appearance of impropriety.

Magik~~~~ Hope you are having a nice Holiday weekend. Guess it's about mail time.
No big deal, I think the point came across that Benny has the ability to print.
Well, I've been here longer than most and while I do not agree with everything he has posted-there's no way you can say that there's not more than a few concerns.
Mr Powell's misstatements and missteps speak so clearly for themselves that I can barely hear what he has to say. All of it-damn near, could be alleviated if he or a senior REDG member would communicate with us a little more.
If REDG were 'self sustaining' and were not using our money at the most horrid terms imaginable-they may not owe us much. By the FACT they have made no profit, continue to dilute, and issue toxic notes on OUR money, makes it imperative that they communicate with us...and they don't.
As an idea man Mr Powell has done well. As a business CEO he has been a failure up to now.
I did write over 100k of four different books. I didn't know how many over 100k of each that he had printed.
Before you responded, I was going to edit in a correction to read " at least 100k of each of four different books". I think that would be a more accurate statement.
Without looking back at the articles, it's hard to know how many went to Diamond/ comic book stores and how many Benny kept.
He printed more then that, 400,000 for may, another 100,000 for comic con and he still has leftovers
Totally agree.
He is talking about the FCBD comic books. Benny printed over 100K each of four different books.
You really don't belong here, you have nothing informative or factual to present and your ignorant comments speak for themselves and scream your lack of DD on REDG. Plenty of longs like myself who have been here for a few years already, you're presence here is why many longs have left the Ihub boards in search of a forum with less misinformation and bullshit
Got a love it.....
Who said they did a trial run of 400k?
That was a convenient website to copy the story from.

I forgot where I first heard/read the story ( a comic book maybe), but it's well worth remembering.
Edit
And, I really doubt Benny's printing presses in China have any real cost advantage over DC or Marvel. He probably just has a cost advantage over going to a independent print shop in the US.
You don't need facts, look at his message history. This guy is wonderful, should be on fox.
It is not impossible. Where do you come up with these things?
You never post any facts or links or anything to back your claims.
You think that with a deal as big as toys r us they would know the cut off dates for printing as shipping?
They already did a trial run of 400k comics and met that deadline well in advance.
That's why there is a mid September cut off date for issue 1. In order to have printed shipped and ready to go nov 5th.
True, USAToday has just under 3 million and they have 36 printers.

rick, REALLY??? Look at the link at the bottom of your post.
The boards flirtation with the Dark side may become a permanent fixture unless Benny
communicates to the shareholders and exonerates himself from any shenanigans.
May the force be with you all.
Agree with regards to Nov-that's the reason I'm hanging in. I'm sure that many investors including myself understand the risk of trading pennies so the risk is inherent to game. That is understood.
What is not easily understood however, is the misstatements and missteps of the CEO. Is that now to be considered to be 'the heat in the kitchen'? Sorry-no. Lying is never acceptable-ever.
As you say though, we are very close to some sort of turning point. I believe it would be shortsighted to sell now when the definitive signature event is so close.
As far as 20 advertisers are concerned-after all this time,effort, funding, this would be the best they could do nationwide and overseas? Again-sorry, no. We are not sure they even have more than the 14 they told us about. Why? Because they don't communicate. As a matter of fact we cannot be sure they even have that 14. Why? Because the mistrust of Mr Powell runs deep. It's hard to believe a man who constantly goes back on his word.
I respect your opinions but at this point I simply don't agree. We will see shortly if this goes through or if Mr Powell is a candidate for American Greed.
It is also well understood that should this become a success that all of the mistrust and doubt concerning Mr Powell will evaporate into a rising PPS.
I don't know why you doubt it, especially with today's technology. There are newspapers all over the country that do over a million (edit: newspapers) a day, daily. I don't understand why you think it is so difficult to print a million comic books in a week. I doubt it takes more than a few 8 hour shifts. Judging from the FCBD books, they don't use a different paper for the cover, making it a lot simpler print job.

"Scorpion and the Frog" isn't an Aesop's fable, but may have been derived from "The Frog and the Mouse".
