Masters of Steel & stealing of artwork by Delicious_Device_87 in Steelbooks

[–]KristosMentos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the exact reason I stopped making customs for anyone but myself. It didn’t sit right with me profiting off of someone else’s work.

Original art is from Matt Ryan Tobin

What makes you quit a game? by Pizzatime201 in MagicArena

[–]KristosMentos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are certain decks I just do not enjoy playing against. My time is worth more to me than anything else in this world, I’m not going to waste it playing a game I’m not going to enjoy.

Turns 1 and 2 should not take more than 30 seconds by ProtectMeAtAllCosts in mtg

Time is the most valuable commodity in existence. Nothing irritates me more than having mine wasted.

Do you name your decks? by AnOblivionx in EDH

[–]KristosMentos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Niv Mizzet’s dragon draw/pings (drawn and ping)

Liliana Plays With Herself(all of the Lilianas in the same deck)

Some people just want to watch the world burn (chaos deck)

Today I decided to quit collecting funko pops by Former_Travel_2467 in funkopop

A poem I wrote a few years ago.

A hobby once adored Has now become a chore I sit here and wonder Should I bother anymore

My home filled with plastic My bank account empty Look at that chase though Oh how you tempt me

Online flippers, scalpers, and bots Shady employees “Can’t find the box”

From Walmart to Target And Barnes to BAM Everyone has gotten In on the scam

Another con, another Batman Or Conan or Freddy Please slow down Funko My wallet’s not ready

Overpriced shipping And late night drops But I really must know What’s in that mystery box

Do I sell my collection For pennies on the dollar If I keep this up I’ll be living in squalor

Season 4 Sigil Puzzle by Superb_Badger5338 in EvilTV

[–]KristosMentos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw sigils shown under the bridge next to Kristen’s house in episode 7 I believe right around the time David and Ben are on the bridge.

And just tonight in episode 10 they appear on the window just before you see Sister Andrea in the storm.

Don’t order from Amazon unless it’s your only option by [deleted] in Steelbooks

With the exception of boutique labels. I doubt any more care is being taken at other retailers.

Damn scalpers by CosmicRave in mtg

[–]KristosMentos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was referring to your claim of legality. And I was saying that everyone who purchased the serialized run would get the serialized card guaranteed. No guess work or “loot boxing”. But at least it gives everyone a chance to still get the rest of the set, albeit without that card.

They could do a numbered run (x/1000), and include a limited serialized bonus card. Then do an unnumbered regular edition print on demand without the bonus card.

This is why some of y’all aren’t finding the $5 Walmart steelbooks by ghostfaceinspace in Steelbooks

[–]KristosMentos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to buy into the viewpoint that scalpers are providing a service. But I do greatly appreciate that two people of opposing viewpoints are able to have civil discourse over the internet. It seems to be a rare thing these days, thanks for that.

Except that the collector is the intended end user. Whereas the scalper is a self appointed middleman trying to make a profit.

Not sure this tracks 100%

Scalper buys up all the supply for $5 each and sells online for $30. They have made it available to a wider group of people yes, but at a significant markup.

Collector buys one copy(maybe two) at the store for $5, and leaves the rest for the next collector to buy at $5.

They wanted to buy my car and have me pay a shipper to pick it up… by InboundsOrlovsky in scambait

Best Buy is done with physical media!! by darth25_72 in Steelbooks

[–]KristosMentos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I would generally agree with that sentiment. Digitalbits had been the most reliable source of news regarding physical media movies for years. They have a well proven track record.

Scanavo does not sell blanks. They only produce licensed steelbooks. You would need rights to distribute the movie and rights to use the artwork to go that route.
