Topic: Is JD really listening to the collector?

I just wish Code 3 would make up their minds about when they announce new releases. If it's going to be the first Friday of the month, then announce it for pre orders or whatever. I don't really care if it is ready to ship or won't be available for another month, at least we will know what it is, and can make a decisioin to buy or pass. If for some reason it gets delayed or cancelled, it's really not that big of a deal, just more money to purchase the next release.

The tops thing is stupid, just release something already or atleast tell us what you're planning to release!!!!

with not allowing us to order the first friday of the month they have lost my order for this month but i wonder if they really care

It has nothing to do with not "allowing" people to order on the first Friday of the month. Chances are the releases are not ready to be offered for sale.

which does not preclude them from posting the monthly release, taking orders and putting a date for shipping...again, JD has spit in everyone's face by stating he is listening to the forum, and then not even posting the monthly release so we can view it (something they did with the crash trucks, which have not even shipped yet)

I'll just bet that, after posting the above, you're still wondering why JD doesn't seem to be listening to you...

Yep...he certainly is reading this board(listening is not an option as then he would be hearing things that aren't there and joining a few that are here already)....the only major problem he has, is that he is running out of ink trying to populate a list of apparatus that everyone wants and just when he gets that one finished, he then has to go and get refills for the next list of wants. There then lies the problem...he is constantly out of office running back and forth procuring pens and ink refills for wants lists and can't do his job to the best of his ability(which is no sleight on him or his abilities...apologies in advance John).

How many times can we add to this page, you've gotten his attention people, now lead him to your forum pages of IMPORTANCE, none of this whining BS. Tell the man what you want and stop bugging him, this goes for everyone, it's sad that nobody can follow directions. Put your NUMBER ONE (1) choice on a page and be done, ONE and only ONE, so chose wisely, look through the list and if you see your choice reply by saying I would like this too, so JD can get a tally of popularity!! Seriously, listen to what I'm saying, JD might listen to your recommendations more!!!

Alright just one,this is my number one choice.
The 2002 Kenworth/Pierce Haz. Mat. Unit from the FDNY

I second that, even though its FDNY, it's not just a repaint, its a new rig!!!

In answer to the OP, in my opinion, "JD" is certainly "listening" to the collectors. He probably meets them at shows, or talks to his colleagues in the diecast business.

What I am certain he is NOT doing, on the other hand, is paying much attention to 99.999% of the posts on this forum. No rational person would.

Right on!

if jd is listening which i do believe he is and is not allowed to make these changes because the decisions are out of his hands he is as frustrated just as much as we are if not more i believe i read somewhere he is a marine they usualy do not handel indecision well they just roll up there sleves and get the job done

As for most of the "I think when it comes to forums; you're unfortunately stuck with the vocal minority" as JD made a point of putting the "note" in his weekly message to refer to us, are request has not changed. Less FDNY, less bullcrap in the newsletters about trips around the country, ect, and more emphasis on the workshop and keeping us informed as to upcoming apparatus through pictures, as they did in the past. This most recent newsletter from JD should be found to be insulting by the "vocal minority" in the forum. Even, arguably, if we gave credit to JD's statements about earthquakes, olympics, ect, JD has yet to either address the issue of lack of updating the workshop with pictures of future apparatus by stating he has no control over the webpage (which apparently he does since we got a "top down" view),or in the alternative, adhering to the "vocal minority" requests. Being that JD has admitted the line for 2009 is being worked on, and being that JD has admitted that there is much work that goes into each vehicle, one has to wonder why, at a minimum, he does not adhere to the "vocal minority" request of updating the workshop, even if it were just drawings of prospective apparatus, or pictures of the actual apparatus. JD's mere avoidance of such a simple request, and then to put an alleged "note" from a co-worker,only re-enforces the "vocal minority" belief that our comments are neither respected, nor taken seriously. In fact, the incorporation of the note was an intentional insult by JD to the people on the forum. Even more insulting is the fact that JD used an alledged worker to make the insult. In the end, JD is not listening, and still adhering to that old song by the great one, "I did it my way". (interestingly, JD again has skirted the issue of no release this month, as well as the poll results reference people being tired of his excuses. WAY TO GO JD!

Well, if you all read the weekly update, he just told us we were the vocal minority. So, what does that tell you? That he's listening?

neither statement by "guest" or "Dar15227" addresses the underlying issues.

What a moron! This is a collectibles website, not a gay get together!
