I agree about it being a pain in the *** selling here. I would put prices at below what they were selling for on eBay and include free shipping and people would still send **** offers. I get that everyone wants a deal, but when you're already getting one then don't be a ****.

 

[Jameson Rook]

I've sold here only once, but from my experience it was enough for a lifetime. I got so many lowballing PMs, and the stuff wasn't even mine- I was just helping a friend sell his custom resin parts.

"Well then, could you ask your friend to lower the price to $70?"

"Dude, my friend specifically instructed me to sell it at $180, since that's the price he paid for the parts, sorry."

"Well, you don't know the answer until you ask him again, don't you?"

 

[Snake Plissken]

"Oh I don't want to pay eBay prices."

Suck me off.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Even when the prices are lower than eBay they don't want to pay them.

Another thing that irritates me is when they say something like "It was only $200 when it came out." If you wanted it at retail then you should have bought the ****ing thing when it was available at retail.

Got my SDCC tickets yesterday. I can't believe it's only a month away. There are still a lot of exclusives that haven't been previewed yet. LEGO hasn't shown ****.

Congrats! What are you looking forward to the most?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Nice you got the tickets. It's still unknown what Tamashii is going to have as far as I know.

I really just like walking around and seeing what will be out in the next year from companies. I spend a lot of time taking pics of everything. Besides that, I go to Artist Alley to meet the artists and look for new prints. If I get lucky, someone will do a commission. There aren't many exclusives that I'm interested in so far this year and a couple that I do like have already been ordered for pick up there--which is really nice because the lines are ****ing ridiculous or they sell out in the first hour. I don't even bother with some of the booths for exclusives since I'm not waiting in line for hours starting at 5am for anything.

I don't know why some companies are taking so long to announce their exclusives. It's tough to plan out what you're going to do and how much you'll have to spend when they wait until the last minute.

We know why

I would of assumed it would of come out by now. I think it's that Tamashii Anniversary Goku, but if it was I would of assumed it would of been confirmed by now. I really don't feel like spending $200 on that.

I'd like to get this Supernatural Funko POP, but I'm not going through all that ******** to get it. Hopefully they offer a lot of these at Hot Topic or wherever after SDCC. I don't care if it has a ****ing SDCC sticker on it.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I'm going to try to get tickets to see Conan O'Brien again this year. They do a lottery for tickets so maybe we'll get luckier this time. Everyone that gets in will get a Funko POP of Conan as some character. This year it's Flash, Spider-Man, a White Walker, and a Jedi.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Conan might be the only guy on late night I like.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

We don't watch any of them anymore, but the clips I see of Conan's show are usually pretty good. I mainly want to go to get a Funko POP.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Last year he had a Superman one (which is the only one he's done that I've wanted) and I ended up having to buy the ****er on eBay. It's unreal how crazy people go for these special POPs. They started randomly giving some away at his booth last year and people ended up almost knocking the ****ing thing down as they pushed to get over there. ****ing stupid.

 

[Shawpaw]

The Flash conan looks pretty cool.

i'd love to get out there someday and check it out...
just 2700 miles away equals plane tickets, show tickets, rental cars, and food bills... $1500 to check out some nerdism doesn't sit well w the old lady!

 

[Snake Plissken]

I know you got the Berserker Armor Guts, Zod. I don't know if you got the Black Swordsman, but Figma is putting out a repainted version of it.

It's an expensive trip, but so far it's been worth it. I can see it getting old though after a few times since you can see everything online as soon as the doors open. That's why I don't bother with the panels. Everything gets released online after so why sit in line overnight? I think we may try to go to NYCC next year. I wanted to do it this year but I don't think I want to do both big conventions within a couple months of each other.

I'll probably pick that up since I missed it the first time around. I was going to get it a couple months ago until I saw the aftermarket prices. It's cool but it's not that damn cool.
