So we're all waiting in line and TiG has got one of my chaser Green Ranger figures for JDF to sign and then when he gets up there JDF says "I'm not signing that for you, go talk about that on Rangerboard", TiG responded with "Why you dogging me out man?" and JDF refused to sign 'em. So then I had a fuckin problem with it and this fat ass security guard tried acting tough telling me to turn around but I got in that bitche's grill because we paid for an autograph. Luckily I had other chaser figures and some other stuff signed by some other people so I was good, and Jer even got a bigger refund then the cash he paid for the autographs in the first place.
================================================================
Ok, I kind of rushed my first post because we were headed out to eat so allow me to explain a little further ...in depth.
#1. They are charging for autographs, $5 per item or $20 of the 8xwhatevers they're selling at the table, however they will sign your ACEN booklet for free.
#2. I wasn't aware that Jer said anything to JDF when I posted this, but this is how it went. Ray told JDF that Jer was his biggest fan, and Jer said that he wasn't going to lie and that its pretty much the complete opposite and so JDF got upset and refused to sign anything. On the one hand I kind of agree, however on the other hand you think maybe he could be a bit bigger about it. Its a matter of perspective though and I really don't think it was too much of a dick move or that JDF is a horrible person, etc.
#3. Before I knew the whole story I went up to security trying to see what happen and explain why this guy had my figure trying to get it signed. The guy tried to be tough and so I got in his face and almost re-arranged it for him though because he thought he was some kind of tough guy and didn't need to speak (he tried just pointing to tell me to turn around) and I told him that you need to fuckin' speak to me and explain this shit. After we had our little conversation he got on the headset and I think he tried to have me ejected. I love it.
#4. The line was way too long by the time I got there, so I gave some items to Ray, TimeRangerX and Jer to get signed. Out of everything I got one Green Ranger & Zedd Chaser and my Red Zeo Power Ranger figures signed ...for free.
#5. It would have been nice to know ahead of time (*cough* Buzz's Room*cough*) to know that they were charging for autographs. The photos they bring and print I can understand, but to sign our own items? That's a little dumb.

That's when I told him that you need to speak to me and stop pointing (which he did) and from there he says there is nothing I can do for him. I ask him for his name and he gives me his convention name, I say no I want your real name which I get off of one of his other badges. I start to walk away and he asks to see my badge at which point I turn around and show him (up close) my badge and spell my last name out for him. I never lost my cool or gave them a reason to kick me out, all I asked for was a reasonable explanation (which I didn't have at that point) and he was refusing to give it to me. Obviously I know the consequences of fighting somebody and what the ramifications of it could have been and hence the reason it wasn't done. After all its just a fucking autograph.
Not because of Rangerboard. He didn't sign it because TommyIsGod is a Tommy hater. So fuckin' funny.
Well if somebody was a hater of me and asked for my figure signed id be thinking it would be on ebay the next day rather than sentiment. Not that i have a figure... yet >_>
On the one hand, i think it's really funny. On the other, JDF isn't THAT cool, I mean Tommy's one of my favorites, but outside of PR? I'm just saying, he may not be "cool enough" to warrant that kind of behavior. I'm looking forward to the Youtube video though. It does humanize him though, to remember Jer and hold a personal grudge. I don't really know, I'd need to see it to pass final judgement.
LOL Wow, I would've thought JDF would just be the bigger person.
well i cant blame JDF why should he sign a figure for someone if theyve just said to his face they dislike him, next time i wouldnt let a tommy disliker sign anything for you lol either that duct tape there mouth beforehand
To be fair, it was hypocritical from Jer to ask for an autograph from JDF in the first place. It's like J. Jonah Jameson buying a Spider-man T-shirt to wear.
