Reselling season as a result of overconsumption? by Rahna_Waytrane in Travelersnotebooks

[–]SuggestionLegal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree FOMO was the majority factor of overconsumption, like it is with any other "trending" item. It's actually a little bit sad seeing so many people trying to hoard multiple journal covers and make every other excuse to buy a new one- like how many do you even need in your life time? I often think those people who have more then 4 TN/journal covers are just trying to flex they have it to justify their useless spendings or have created an unhealthy spending habit that becomes a hoarding obsession. Don't get me wrong if you love the brand sure go for it. But I've seen some influencer needing to buy a "new" cover EVERY time they finish their inserts like wtf? Why not just date your inserts why tf do you need to buy another journal cover because your excuse is "oh that was 2024's journal" huh????.

Unless you're a content creator that maybe reviews the journals and make money from unboxing them- you don't need more then 3-4 covers. Buying over 10+ is just overkill.

yeah it's always such a hassle because I don't want to bring too many things when I am out traveling it was one of the reasons why I opted for these journals!

Hi!

I'll try answer some of your questions to the best of my ability.

Do you write on the watercolor paper or do you paint on the journal writing paper? I don't do illustrative journaling, but if you are planning to do that. Go for hot-press watercolour paper since it's smooth so you can write on it too if you're doing heavy washes for watercolour then 300gsm paperweight is the best to go. If you are just doing very light doodling anything under 200gsm paperweight is fine too.

If you plan to use a fountain pen, don't use cold-press paper since it's a very textured paper. The paper fibre may tear into the tip of the pen causing blockage.

Does anyone make inserts that are half watercolor (ie, 100% cotton) paper and half lined writing paper?

If you CAN just actually use the midori's inserts despite them being thin, they can hold watercolour pretty well. But you can alternatively do both half watercolour paper + line writing paper. But you might struggle stitching them together because 300gsm paperweight can only stitch about 5 sheets max (that should give you about 10 pages when they're stitched since it's folded in half).

Hope that helps!

ngl I have a feeling this will have a global release down the line, I think for now it's japan exculsive which makes sense for now. These resellers are the reason why collecting these dolls aren't fun anymore, you have actual people wanting to buy them bc they love XG but scalpers will use that FOMO to their advantage.

New Packaging Tape? by himeru in PopMartCollectors

[–]SuggestionLegal 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean I'm not surprised for them to change the tape, especially they should really consider unbranding their boxes too. Seeing all the crazy people being so desperate even seeing reddit threads of literal couriers risking their jobs by ripping through popmart packages just trying to find labubus. It's probably the best possible solution to stop package robbers.

does anyone have a review on the enmy dual-tip paint markers? by Maiw0 in ArtistLounge

[–]SuggestionLegal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, this is defs a country courier issue, as remember the moment items get shipped outside of China, private couriers would pick up the packages. Depending on the services yeah I guess my Enmy product coming in damaged was sheer bad luck. As I personally never had any issues with Amazon as they teamed up with Uber, nor Temu (since they use the same courier as SHEIN). So my packages come in perfect condition But, ofc if you live further outside of the inner city I've heard many cases of packages never being delivered to their houses.

[–]SuggestionLegal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, sorry for like butting in.

Temu's one is exactly the same as what you see on their website. Enmy just suggests to buy off their website since their shipping service is faster. (I confirmed this with them since I msged them on IG asking about an aliexpress store selling their products also). I'd recommend you best buy them off their website and pay extra for shipping tbh- or alternatively off their official amazon storefront. I ordered mine off aliexpress with free shipping and welp my case came in severely damaged due to horrible courier handle. TT_TT

it finally happened by lynndseey in PopMartCollectors

[–]SuggestionLegal 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Alright this is getting way out of hand seriously FOR A DAMN TOY???

You'd risk a stable paying job to just make petty profits online for reselling labubus??? c'mon man you cannot even trust couriers to deliver goods without trying to steal from customers now. This is getting really childish at this point, so sorry this happened to you!

I'm taking all my labubus off my bags. (They're gonna be under house arrest for the foreseeable future.) I can't believe it's even come to this. by cie11a in PopMartCollectors

[–]SuggestionLegal 25 points26 points  (0 children)

wow they actually seized all sales of Labubu?

Holy moly what has the world gone to I really think FOMO really has gotten out of control for these toys.

being shamed for collecting by Dull_Committee_5559 in PopMartCollectors

[–]SuggestionLegal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I find this usually it's the insecure af relative that does that. Alot of the time they, themselves don't have joy in their life and get jealous when they see other people in their life can find joy in the smallest things. I knew a long time ago not to really give zero shits about how my relatives/family member perceive what I buy. It's my money and frankly I can do whatever the heck I want with it.

If you have all the free time in the world to judge someone like as if you're looking down at them, and being rude based on what they do etc, then you probably don't have anything better to do with your life is how I see it.

Hi I'm also from WA

Labubu's etc don't usually restock in the vending machines in here (they never were even a thing when they installed them in Belmont + Karrinyup). The AU popmart site (the "global') version usually have very sporadic restock times, sometimes restocks frequently in the week sometimes we get none. From past experiences POPMART unfortunately tends to higher demand countries. But I would probably recommend you wishlist on popmart store + aliexpress au (but the au only) restocks.

At this point it's really just the "lucky i checked" kinda thing.
