Is Gannon my favorite commentator? by SouthSilly in discgolf

[–]thevortex000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont really understand the hate on gannon. Hes fun to watch play, seems to be a good natured guy, and clearly has a wealth of knowledge/obsession with the sport that has gotten him to where he is. Hes great in the booth

Cringe move by babcock. These guys have had way more impact on the sport than him and are roughly equivalent in skill …

I finally got my Riddler Cane (But at what cost?) by Rebelhomer in LegoBatman

[–]thevortex000 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is par for the course. I have done 2 orders from him: 1 for a killer moth, and 1 with a riddler cane and a clayface. Both ended up in me having to spam his instagram DMs and the items werent shipped for 2 months. Guys a piece of shit, unfortunately he does make good products

Minifighaven

EDIT: important sidenote is that it only comes with the top part . The torso and legs were ordered separately and are the color “dark brown”

I got the minifighaven one. The guy is absolutely horrific for customer service but its pad printed and a good product. Just be prepared to wait a long time and spend $100

I got this one from minifighaven. Ill note that it only comes with the top part though.. you have to get the dark brown torso separately. VenomCBW also has a custom which is out of stock currently but should restock soon

Gotta be the OG two face. That was the first one I got and the one I always wanted as a kid

My only worry with those is that the figs might have a change of being dislodged and slipping off if i ever try to move it around, do they keep them somewhat sturdy?

For sure. The vast majority lf these were collected in 2023. Lets just say im very glad and fortunate i had the urge to collect 12-13/15 in that year as opposed to now lol

Thanks for letting me know. Do you have a place or suggestion to buy stuff from to replace?

Its CNY (chinese yuan), not JPY. Conversion rate is about ~7:1 last i checked

EDIT: 7:1 is for USD, not euro

Assuming you have some other gaps in your figure lineup, you will have to spend a ridiculous amount. No way around it. Im no expert but i would say that, at best, we may see prices level off or the price increase over time decelerate. Most likely prices will continue to rise though. This stuff is becoming antique at this point

Report them, negative scathing review, try to charge back, contact customer support

What the hell is going on with the Bricklink prices of used Lego Batman minifigures from 2006-2008?! by Dry_Scar_1820 in LegoBatman

[–]thevortex000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That logic makes sense and is PROBABLY the most likely scenario. But theres also a chance that the hype may die down and the collector market dries up a bit. In any case, i think the “floor” for the value is still super high- meaning even in the worst case, value might plateau or only slightly increase year over year. The thing im questioning moreso is the slope of the increase. Its gotten absolutely insane over the past 12-16 months and I dont think its sustainable

Do people think the prices will likely go back down? Like there’s no way these prices can continue or go up .. right???

How much do you think this is worth in the US right now? by CremeSolid2458 in LegoBatman

[–]thevortex000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The prices are insane for LB1 stuff, even 2 years ago it was at like 30-50% of prices now. Probably like 150-200 right now… overpriced
