>>11844922>get egg randomly at gas station for .99>get small metal soniccool, nice get btw not sure how the odds work but i'd go for a gold Rouge too.
>>11845445That's fine, just don't tell people to eat shit.
Despite things like increasing toy prices, transformations becoming too complex to be fun, and recent movies flopping, how is it that this franchise managed to stay afloat even during the 90s as opposed to stuff like GI Joe, Masters of The Universe, and, given how Sentai is now dead which means no more fresh material, Power Rangers?
>>11849073>I work with kids. Transformers is talked about from time to time, but not even close to the level it was even during the Unicron Trilogy.You mean when you were small, as in an actual kid, who would just talk about the thing you're into aka transformers.Truly a great mind here.

>>11844186>Then to a lesser extent RiD2001.RiD01 doesn't get the credit it deserved. It was just supposed to be a filler line but it sold so well Hasbro was throwing whatever they could into the pot to extend it like various cancelled Beast Machines toys. The Spychangers especially seemed to have sold well sice they added new US exclusive repaints and molds late into the line. The figures remained in circulation as budget store exclusives until 2006 too. >>11846323>>11845764I remember reading once the big struggles with He-Man 200x was that 80s kids viewed big buff shirtless He-Man as "powerful looking" but the more cynical 00s kids just thought he looked gay. Which was why 200x He-Man covered up with the Snake Armor later on. Can't remember where I read it but it sounds believable.
>>11847155>it's going to be increasingly harder to sell G1 over and overHard disagree. People complain, but G1 is what sells. The reason is because Hasbro has spent the last 20 years re-treading G1 characters and there are always new fans jumping on who don't have the big names characters yet. You might get some Armada kids hyped for a new Hot Shots but a character like Bumblebee (who was once practically forgotten) has been so in-focus for the last 20 years that he's a much more viable character with both adults and kids. G1 is just more viable. And you have new collectors coming in all the time who don't have those G1 characters but want them because they've been exposed to them non-stop since 07. That's why they're having such hard time selling Beast Wars to both nostalgic audiences and kids. The market wasn't as viable as it should be since those characters spent 20 years out of the spotlight. For example the Predacon boxset with the Takara decos is still in-stock on Hasbro's website, but the G1 Autobot United 5 pack from 2024 with a bunch of G1 guys everyone has bought multiple times sold out in a couple of hours and most of those figures were released as stand alone figures since that have sold out on various storefronts. People want G1. Like Legacy Inferno in my opinion might be one of the best Transformers figures I've ever owned, I really love him, but it shelfwarmed and is barely discussed. And there was no reason for it to shelf warm either because its a great figure. Tigerhawk is another great Beast Wars figure that is just littering stores like Ollies and Ross now. Armada and Animated are doing okay, but not well enough that they can overtake the line.

>>11854944Both the Mcneff family, the city/ cops, and maybe even the judge too. The idea of ruining every chistmass/birthday their children and grandchildren will ever have is cinema. Also, yes. Fuck the residents and tax payers. It's not my responsibility to care about their well being. And maybe if their entire fucking city is punished for the actions of bad police, it will motivate them to speak out against their bad police more, and lobby for change. At the end of the day, they are the people who live with those shit bag cops. They are members of their community. They have more leverage against them than any of us retards on the internet ever will

This could be interesting, especially for stuff that sells out quickly.https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Help/Waitlist
lol everything on the wait list is 8 to 10 bucks more than the regular stock(substandard) plus higher shipping. Its a ripoff.
>>11850641okay schizo
>>11850641Everything I put on my waitlist is the same price as it was. The stuff that has already come in went straight to my pile of loot and I can ship it with the rest of my shit for the same rate as usual. Do you need to stretch open your sphincter like goatse when talking out your ass like that?
>>11850641Regular stock is not substandard. That's damaged stuff. They recently did some stupid shit where they redefined their "standard" stuff to "BBTS Mint." The bigger stuff that is the top option is for the in-box autists because they charge more to set specifically higher-grade boxes aside and individually package them, so they charge a few dollars more essentially for the extra packaging materials.But again, only an in-box autist would ever choose that. If you're just going to open it anyway, you'd be stupid to pay more.
>>11849106This will be horrible, as now instead of randomly stumbling upon a restock and getting lucky you'll have to sit in a waitlist that's thousands long and commit to buy that figure for whatever obscene price they put it back up at.
>be me>naive, not too interested in Pokemon since around 2014>list on eBay a couple of empty Pokemon booster packs that I've had stashed for 20 years>doesn't even take 3 hours to get messaged by a scammer>block and forget them>the next day get two more people messaging me>both have similar feedback as Scammer #1, saying they either scam sellers to get packs free, reseal opened packs to scam buyers, or bothI removed all the listings and guess I'll keep them for now. I could sell locally, but I don't want them to be used to scam someone who might pay a lot for an Ex Deoxys pack they think could have something good inside. I hope future kids see the drama and greed that pervades this hobby and move on to something else, and Pokemon card collecting dies as a hobby to anyone under 40.

>>11851369in those remote spots you'll have 300 guys that think "no one around here knows about this shit, I can corner the market!" and then they all fuck each other

>>11851572A boys line that isn't for collectors is obviously going to lack female figures. >Is not a good marketing strategyMattel doesn't seem to care. That's just the facts, Mattel cared more about putting out these kids toys fast than collector figures.
>>11851574>Mattel cared more about putting out these kids toys fast than collector figures.Isn't that why they got the license? Todd's figures pegwarmed so hard Walmart stopped ordering them in bulk, shrinking the brand's presence on shelves. Superheres need to hook kids when they're young and Todd was more interested in making cool figures adults would want than making sure shelves were full of evergreen Batmans, Supermans, and Green Lanterns.Plus DC is in the middle of rebooting things again so they need a strong brand presence in stores.Todd's line was for lifetime collectors who wanted cool, definitive versions of characters they already had. Mattel just wants to have as many Batmans on a shelf as Hasbro has Darth Vaders.

>>11851445My first punisher figure. So glad I waited. He's perfect. Feel like I'm finally gonna need to get that ML Jackal now.
>>11851445no one asked, kanji.
>>11851445Yeah, my Punisher was shipped on a Monday with ECMS and I had him by that Saturday. I originally was pretty irritated that I had to switch to ECMS from DHL and it was still more expensive than I was paying, but at least my ECMS experiences haven't been bad. I've gotten my stuff within the week it shipped multiple times now, so it seems pretty reliable. We'll see how things are with US customs making all their changes, my Punisher slipped through right before the deadline.

I know we all hate Ugly Playstation Lesbian, but I can already see why they tried selling her for $50. Probably the only archery figure that can pull off an actual archer pose, and her hair is jointed so that she has full neck range.

>>11842921>>11839542The SpinMaster figures that can actually articulate and are in the 5 to 6 inch range, are not bad figures at all, especially for the price. I've never seen anything retail SM for above $20 or so, so no clue about OPs $50. It does look overpainted or busy, but that also sounds like it's true to the game designers, I don't play vidya, so no clue.>ingenuity with her and then never againSM is not really being asked to do that, I was impressed with some humans from JakksPacific but how many humans do they make that aren't something stupid like wrestling figures?

>>11839156Literally me. I've tried to buy Hasuki musketeer, I wasn't even that late, basically post-release, nah, several traders cancelled on me. Also had a good coupon and everything.
>>11847776There return policy can be you return it to fucking China at your cost for a full refund. It's not Walmart or Amazon where you just drop it off somewhere and someone else transports it back and you don't pay to ship a return. Also, people have reported shit like sellers claiming nothing arrived or it was not in the same condition or otherwise deny your return for some bullshit reason.
>>11849984hence why you just say it didn't arrive instead of fucking around with the truth. they can't have you send it back if it didn't get there.

Heya I was wondering if someone here knows nice websites where I can find low priced nekopara figures, Im looking for original ones and I obviously know they are prolly gonna be used…Being poor and a nekopara fan is not that easy
>>11849642I like slice-of-life stuff, in fact it's my favourite genre of anime, but Nekopara just felt like filler fluff. I get that there's other stuff to enjoy, but I think each media entry should be able to stand on its own as an entertaining product.
>>11849646I legitimately think the anime exists to appeal largely to girls. There are plenty of female anime fans who like the Nekopara girls as far as their cuteness and designs and even buy a lot of the merch, but they don't really get into the H-part of it at all. I think the anime was made just to appeal to the people who like the characters designs and art and make it more available to a broader audience.
>>11849634Honestly, even with the H scenes the VN failed to hold my interest. I'm assuming it got better as it went along and the hotter girls like Cinnamon and Coconut got more screentime, but I was constantly drifting off while reading the first one.
>>11849139Idk what you mean by low-priced, but they have cute nendos up for PO right now that are $34/ea on amiami. You can probably find them on bigbadtoystore or lunartoystore to avoid high shipping fees.https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-200728https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-200727They also have 4" mini figures around $20/ea.If that isn't low priced to you, your only option is aliexpress bootlegs unfortunately.
>>11849824aside from After I played them all when starting to learn japanese and I'd say they only got slightly better after the first one. and somehow the h scenes got worse over time.
