As collectors worldwide shared a sigh of relief as the
Four Horsemen Studios’ Beyithirr the dragon campaign ended (
and they can finally pay rent again!), a familiar phenomenon has returned: the elusive collector who "
just found out" about it and is now desperately searching for one, at retail price, as it is, of course, for his kid (
it's his birthday!)
ToyFarce investigated...
"
I didn’t know about this until just now!" said a collector in a
Mythic Legions Facebook group that had been flooded with
Beyithirr posts for an entire month. "
My son loves the Mythic Legions dragons. He's got all of them!" said the collector, unaware that
Beyithirr is the first. "
He’s been talking about this one for weeks. If anyone has an extra at retail or cheaper, I’d really appreciate it. Just trying to make a little boy happy on his birthday!". When asked about when the birthday exactly is, he replied "
Right when Beyithirr is released, so late-2026 (unless there are some delays)."
The post was met with a mix of
eye-roll reactions,
skeptical comments, and many
GIFs of Robert Downey Jr. rolling his eyes (
one of my favorites!).
"
The kid has a Mythic Legions shelf in his room" the collector continued. "
It’s not for me, I swear! I don’t even collect these. Well, I mean, I have a few, but this is his favorite character... the dragon... Bayithar? Beyithirr? Something like that. I don't watch the show."
Other collectors were quick to point out that this happens after every crowdfunding campaign or pre-order window ends:
someone appears out of nowhere, dramatically proclaims ignorance of the campaign, and insists on paying retail "plus shipping".
"
It’s tradition at this point", commented another group member. "
Every time, without fail. We have one for each wave, for every Figura Obscura drops, after every convention exclusives... There's always one."
Experts predict a surge in posts like this over the next few months, peaking again when the dragons actually ship. "
That’s when the 'I missed the campaign, just looking for one for my sick nephew' wave hits" said one collector. "
Followed closely by the 'I just want one for retail because I don’t want to support scalpers' phase."

Stay strong out there, dragon hoarders. You survived the campaign. Now come the retail seekers!
