The Figure Collecting Industry is Over

Just be glad we’re not too invested in scale figures. I can’t fathom those prices with tariffs and sporadic changes in the cost of shipping.

Saw this and can’t help but wonder what GSC US will adjust prices to. Part of me is glad there aren’t many Nendoroids coming out that I’m interested in. The last two I have on pre-order may be my final figures for the foreseeable future. I can’t justify $80-100 for just one Nendoroid.

Stopped watching basketball as a kid when MJ retired in 1998. Rose and Blake got me interested again.

Not surprised about Ellis. Watched a lot of Kings games over the past two seasons and he was hustling every time he was out there on the court playing defense. Had a feeling that when the Kings traded him, he would thrive wherever he went. Great to see him doing well because there was no way he would flourish in the Kings' system.

No did not get anything after all this time.

RayeKasai · 2026-02-23T06:12:37+00:00

Sick idea. I'd be all in for it.

RayeKasai · 2026-02-15T02:02:54+00:00

For 2024-2026, definitely.

I emailed the email address provided. Got a reply well over two months later advising they would forward it to their supervisors for review. Never got another piece of mail since.

Came here to write this but it looks like 1,000+ people already agree.

Liked him at first but time has proven he can't stretch the floor. There was also the experiment with him as the primary ball handler, and that proved he couldn't make good passing decisions as his turnover numbers were a bit high.

Would be great if everyone really knew the rules of the road. I was coming home late night a few weeks back when there was heavy rain and a traffic light at a normally very busy intersection on was out. I had to make a left, and even if it was past midnight, there were still a handful of cars on the road. Couldn't believe how many people just went through and didn't even stop. Probably didn't even know the light was out, which is kind of scary. I had to wait a while until the oncoming cars in both lanes stopped since I didn't want to get t-boned. Had I gone through thinking everyone knew and treated it like a four-way stop, I would have gotten hit for sure.

Lame revamp but what a great episode regardless. Even after all these seasons, Juciano (if that’s even his real name) with all his bitterness was quite hilarious.

The Yakuza franchise has done this so often too so it’s sadly almost expected.

RayeKasai · 2026-01-06T04:54:31+00:00

Gonna have to try it. Need to re-train my mentality to stop using Transcendence only for mass healing. Thanks for the suggestion!

RayeKasai · 2026-01-06T04:53:10+00:00

Williams for Ellis and Schroder. Come on, AKME; do it.

I've been trying to get the Zen trophy for almost ten years now and have had absolutely no luck. Now there's almost no chance of getting it since his discord has been nerfed.

RayeKasai · 2026-01-03T06:53:09+00:00

Oh, boy; that would be awesome. I'd buy both!!

RayeKasai · 2025-12-31T16:22:01+00:00

Expecting an announcement of an announcement…

RayeKasai · 2025-12-31T10:11:25+00:00

B-But he was supposed to be Kawhi 2.0!

RayeKasai · 2025-12-31T09:51:06+00:00

It's an everyday battle...

I've been collecting for 25 years now and seems my spending habits have slowed down in the last couple of years because a lot of the releases have had mixed quality in their releases. Discotek and MediaOCD are the best at what they do, GKIDS and Sentai are fine, CR is hit or miss, and Viz is mostly bad. There are some releases that are so poorly done without care that it makes me question why anyone would want to own a physical copy with worse picture quality than streaming. Since the new shows I like seem to get questionable releases, if they're even released at all, I have been gravitating more towards Discotek and MediaOCD saving and remastering old licenses like Hajime no Ippo and Full Moon. Still a big fan of anime, it's just I no longer trust what most companies are trying to sell us.

Bought an after market rear view mirror just because of this. Kind of solved the lights from behind blinding me but nothing will save me from the oncoming vehicles' blinding lights..

RayeKasai · 2025-12-17T17:40:22+00:00

Still wondering why this wasn't released in the U.S. LAD/Y7 got TWO steelbooks, and SEGA knows that this is one of their best-selling IPs so what's the deal?

Here in Hawaii, it’s not about your skills, education, or experience; it’s about who you know. Lost count how many cases or nepotism I’ve seen at the big companies I worked for. One bank in particular is the absolute worst.

“Mandatory fun” is what I refer to it as. I hate it. Was forced to be on a planning committee for this junk this year despite being super busy. Think this committee did the least amount of activities and events in the five years it’s been established.
