LMAO! I know Im not sure what gives me the same feeling, but its true.
Hell, Ill admit that its given me more impetus to post and have conversations here. The only difference being, Im actually interested in, and really enjoy, the topics and conversation. So, Ill definitely still be around afterward. As time permits.?

lol that poor one armed Georgie fig. I kinda feel like toy companies are pushing IT in the same way they are with Stranger Things except ST is a tv show with a huge following and IT was a good movie but I don't really see people talking about it much at all aside from the NECA figures which are awesome. I feel like this setwould sell better if it was just movie monsters imo.

POPs aren't really my thing. More into real action Figures or at least ones with articulation. But maybe super hero POPs once in a while.

That's why chases command a higher premium, still cheaper then opening blind boxes to obtain.
Oh, I know... Ive gone through a few blind bag/box figures to land the one I really wanted, in my time. But then, I still didnt spend as much as some of the aftermarket demands. I guess it all depends.

For how small these things tend to be, anymore than maybe $10 or $15 for a really sought after chase figure, is ridiculous. Considering the going rate for them is usually about $7-8. ?????

The Lego blind bags are a nice compromise. If you want to feel out the package, you can. But there's still a little mystery there. The boxes are another story.
