I agree with you gimme. Benny's treatment of his shareholders is unacceptable and he needs to prove himself to all of us. We can all agree that the last shareholder video turned out to be a let-down. My hope is that the factored revenues weren't available yet and they needed to money to purchase the IPs because of last minute complications with TRU (like coop said) OR they needed the money to fund possible upcoming PRs since as you may recall in the video Benny said they could cost 5-10k to PR something. All jmo though. Would love to hear what you think
Agreed , but why would they when their companies (instrinsic, active , and glass house ) all stand to make bank , while funded with what is ultimately our money
REDG Stock Message Board http://investorshangout.com/Red-Giant-Enterta...EDG-87531/
I agree, having all the board members' company in REDG would make for a better company. I would not have minded if Benny would have brought them together before REDG was a public company. I would hate to see REDG pay real money to acquire these companies.
I'm not thrilled about REDG having intimate business relationships with the board members' company. I do understand the potential advantages. But, Benny being CEO and founder of REDG, having separate companies dealing with each other is on a completely different level.
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.
