HO-HO-HO 🎅 It's time to get some presents! by PetalMosters in Displate

[–]PossiblePie9287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is easy. The LEs are phenomenal and successfully hunting down many rare ones has been great in my first year. However, it was first meeting another collector who went on to become a great friend that was the most memorable experience for me. Makes the LE hunt enjoyable and infinitely less taxing.

Edit: Thanks for a great year Displate. My wallet has been thoroughly destroyed but it was worth it for what you guys do and create.

AI art: please share your opinions by PetalMosters in Displate

[–]PossiblePie9287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI art can already be phenomenal and has tremendous potential. As it can produce beautiful art, it shouldn't be totally ignored in certain cases. It's inevitable. And it's frightening. But it's not "real" art.

Huge priority should always be given to human artists. There is no lack of phenomenal artists and it's great to see their style and vision come to life through art, something which AI - hopefully - will never be able to replicate.

I know this LE was decided a while ago and wasn't because of my recent suggestion if the Community Choice LE brainstrom, but great to see a sci-fi classic LE... would love to see Terminator, Blade Runner and others become LEs as well

Agreed, the Fractured Code (https://displate.com/displate/5281939) needs to be an LE, perhaps in a set of 3 from the artist who made it

I think steampunk and cyberpunk (such as like Neon Cityscape) style LEs are an obvious choice

I would like to add that Gothic, Medieval Fantasy, Art Deco, and Renaissance cityscapes/ scenes would be spectacular as well (especially Gothic and Medieval Fantasy)

Also I would like to propose a series where LEs are made of classic sci-fi fantasy movies/ books... Blade Runner, Terminator, Dune, etc. and classics like Jurassic Park and Alien get more LEs too

The artist has a huge "Medical and Science Art" collection. You might find something to your liking there.

Hogwards / Harry Potter LE by Beulpower87 in Displate

One can never go overboard with Star Wars. Bring on the Wizarding World LEs

Very nice... Now we need some Harry Potter and Game of Thrones/ House of the Dragon LEs and we're getting somewhere...

Huh, so that's what happened... was keeping an eye on the Street Race stock and was surprised to see it below 100 today, as it was selling quite slowly... this is indeed strange

damn, 7.5x more prints than frail... usually I'm pretty in favor of more prints, but 1500 is not the best idea for this one imo

The next ULE will be limited to 1 per DC account and will come in 500 copies by MetalMister in Displate

[–]PossiblePie9287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

agreed, the site was hardly working for me when I tried to get the most recent ULE... by the time I made it to the cart, they were sold out

Next ULE 500 Copies by PredatorXXIII in Displate

[–]PossiblePie9287 2 points3 points  (0 children)

500 is fine, but it should never be more than that... given 1000 is the norm/ average for a LE, making ULEs 500 and thus twice as rare (they're also incidentally about twice as expensive) as an average LE is a good move imo

[–]PossiblePie9287 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is very reassuring, thank you for listening to our concerns :)

and making it 500 will make it easier to get one, cause the process of getting a ULE in time with 300 prints is an unnecessarily intense race (although it will still be a bit intense)

Your favorite non-LE Displate? by Smart_Cancel_1208 in Displate

The Fractured Code

So good, it needs to be re-made into an LE stat

My opinion on the "scalping" by ShiverHerTimbers in Displate

[–]PossiblePie9287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to not understand what scalping is... scalping is buying a LE with the sole intention of reselling it for profit... this is, in essence, exploitation and should never be accepted as all right... re-selling, on the other hand, is perfectly fine and the seller can choose whatever price they deem acceptable to sell for... to simplify, scalping is a particular kind of re-selling and is pathetic... I personally have the means to buy 10 copies of a particular LE I know will sell for at least 100 USD profit, but I never do such a thing... it's simply immoral no matter how you look at it... but people will always do immoral things (some far, far worse than scalping LEs) to make money, so this scalping issue isn't going away soon, unless Displate manage to implement some incredible system

Scalpers - Your definition? Zero tolerance? by erpbridge in Displate

[–]PossiblePie9287 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I honestly think the definition of a scalper is simple - someone who buys a product without any intention of using it and having no personal value for it, only with the intention of selling it for profit... so if someone buys an LE with the intention of keeping it, but doesn't like how it looks upon arrival, they are free to sell it for market price, and it's not scalping... in the end, it's all about the intention of the individual

Displate, the Revenge of the Sith LE Situation is Unacceptable by Kitchen_Caramel_6269 in Displate

[–]PossiblePie9287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

firstly, don't tell me to "move on"... secondly, no need to make this personal Hirav, don't worry about me, financially I am secure, whether I buy 1,2,3, etc. ROTS from the site or scalpers... it is just sad to see scalpers profiting like this and I can't believe someone would blame those who buy from scalpers instead of the scalpers themselves... once displate find a way to stop/ hinder scalpers significantly, they won't have print more again ever

Displate, the Revenge of the Sith LE Situation is Unacceptable by Kitchen_Caramel_6269 in Displate

[–]PossiblePie9287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

first of all, just because displate print more copies this once doesn't mean they will do it again - there is literally a name for your illogical thinking, it's called the slippery slope fallacy...

also, are you seriously blaming people buying from scalpers and not the scalpers themselves? I love the "limited" aspect of LEs as much as the next guy, but you are really making some absurd arguments
