Ages Three and Up Announcement: New Owner and Relaunch

[Sun Swipe Prime]

Just out of curiosity, for those in Vancouver and even out of town, has anyone tried legal action against this Spencer. Get everyone who's been wronged together and sue him. Obviously you know where to find him and present him with a subpoena.

I've never had any dealings with A3U except buying one or two things from their store front when it was at metrotown and all this kafuffle is new to me. From the posts, obviously there are strong feelings about things and people are entitled to them. I'd probably feel the same way if I got screwed like that too. But it seems like Boris is now having to take the brunt of negativity that should rightfully be directed at this Spencer person. I won't get into who owns what and who exists or not debate, but here's something to think about, if there was some sort of trick being played on the TF community here, wouldn't it have been easier just to start with a new name instead of dealing with this fallout? That's what a good con man would do instead of trying to rebuild a tainted name. I've no stake in things here other than hopefully another source for transfromers. Just some food for thought.

I wonder if there's other toy forums out there bitching about Spencer too.

Other than a handful of employees, who didn't get their money back from Spencer? I thought all customers ended up getting their refund later than sooner?

Not a chance. In Canada, it's Automaton or nothing. Or cybertron.ca boardies.

well there's always jays clocks in surrey. thats a really good option! i dont think anyone can beat his prices, but the drive is usually the only thing bad about it.

Been once to Jay's Clocks when I went back to BC in 2007 (because you recommended it!). I think that's where I got my Frenzy & Rumble headphones. Nice little store, but it sure was a long drive!

For those that believe that Boris is just a front for Spencer, I'm curious: Don't you think it would be easier for Spencer, if he did want to rip people off some more, to put "Boris" in charge of a new online store with a new name, as opposed to reviving A3U? After all that baggage, do you really think Spencer would bring back A3U? Doesn't make any sense. If I were looking to rip people off, I wouldn't revive a brand like A3U again. People would see it coming a mile away. I'm not looking to flame anyone here, I'm just wondering if hatred towards Spencer and A3U is preventing people from thinking rationally?

Misguided pride, perhaps?

So... what, the employees suddenly don't matter? As long as the customers all get their money back everything is good? Seriously, this attitude pisses me off. What about the distributors? Business partners? Do TF fans not care who their money is going to as long as they get their toys at the cheapest price? What a disgusting attitude.
