Wow shit! That's very low. You should not only reconsider, you must escalate the issue, ahem, excuse my corporatespeak, I mean RAISE A STINK. Put together your case, contact other contestants to see if they had similar problems and put a report together. You should send the report to BAKAC, Bandai Hong Kong and Bandai Japan. If no one give a helpful response (an apology to start with) you should take it to the press (transnational legal actions being tricky, to say the least). There are a few HK and TW hobby mags, if they, say, phone up Bandai before even consider printing your story, that alone might push the right buttons. If the hobby mags are all Bandai's bitches and avoid Journalism with Extreme Prejudice (quite possible) then I suggest you go for mainstream newspapers. Both HK and TW have many competing newspapers, there must be a few interested in printing scandalous story about someone's beloved hobby. If you need help with making contacts and/or translations, I will try my best. Bandai HK/JP might try to pull a cover-up, but, if it were me, I wouldn't be satisfied until at least someone get fired. The long term solution, of course, is for BAKAC to buy insurance for all international contestants. Then if something like this happens in the future, it's going to be on BAKAC's liability. HK is my homeland, I am ashamed that such kind of things can even happen. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
