Since I did the DX fireworks I wanted something a little different. It really makes my events come alive.

A few questions: Do you ever get Mattel products in Mexico? Do you buy things online and have them shipped there?

Also, is there a reason you always post a link to your blog instead of simply posting pictures on here?

1. NEVER do we get Mattel here! That is very frustrating to say the least.
2. Sometimes I do.
3. Because Wrestlingfigs should REALLY have the ability to host pics but they do not. So one has to go through the pain in the butt way of putting them on photobucket. It is just easier for me to put it on the blog.

this took literally three seconds to upload to imgur. No account. Clearly not a "pain in the butt" for the two clicks it took. Are you making ad revenue off of your blog? Is that why you're so unwilling to co-operate the same way as everyone else?

For Proboards to host images beyond what they already do (which they do, one image per post) it'd be fairly costly. Servers aren't cheap and bandwidth isn't unlimited. On a site I used to run, we were spending north of $500 a month to run and maintain our servers and we still had a lot of problems. Do you want to have to pay $10 a month to use Wrestlingfigs? Then don't complain about the things they don't give you and use one of the hundreds of free image providers on the net.

Nope. Not making a dime. Did you notice any ads on my blog? If not then you fail. And I do not believe it took you three seconds. It took you that long to type the URL. Therefore another fail.

I will complain to whoever will listen. You cannot stop me. I load images all the time on Blogger and Facebook. Costs me nothing. So blow it out your barnacle.

I typed im and then hit enter. And really, how long would it take to type "imgur.com" unless you're completely computer illiterate?

It doesn't as you said take LITERALLY 3 seconds to upload something. That is the fail. I have never been on imgur before. I know nothing about it. All I am familiar with is photobucket. So instead of being kind and suggesting that I try the imgur thing, you acted like an archenswoller.

Kindness works so much better. Try it. And guess what....It takes LITERALLY three seconds to click on the blog to see the pics. OR...you could not read my posts at all if you are too strapped for time.

yes it does. I right clicked the link on your blog, I clicked "web". I hit ctrl+v and it was done.

Then you had to come BACK here and post etc.

Look until the mod Naparo says anything let's just let it lie. All you have to do is say, Awesome custom and go on your way. But I will check out this imgur thingie. And for the record I HAVE posted pics here from Photobucket. Just look at my past work.

I swear this forum has SUCH a stick up it's butt. First people complain because I do not physically make the customs, then they are a fire hazard, now it is because they want free and easy pics here. Is there anytime I ever post one of my customs that someone is NOT offended? Jesus.

Liberalism is a disease...

I just was curious why. It doesn't matter to me - I just thought it was peculiar since most go the imgur/photo bucket route. Keep doing your thing if it makes you happy.

Oh I know. It was about the other guy.

Have you considered having some of your fabricators/metal guys making items for you to sell? Seems like it could be a decent gig for some of them and you could make money as the middleman.

Yes of course but shipping from Mexico? It would be a huge undertaking. For these things I would think I would have to meet one in Texas but then that is a whole can of worms in itself. Perhaps when I move to Texas all of that would be MUCH easier to do.

What part of Mexico do you live in now? And I suppose I've taken the various US shipping services for granted.
