    Really makes you wonder how they come up with the pricing at all. Base Harley is arguably a collector's edition figure, give or take (just a poster and tattoos in place of extra hands, etc.), but is less expensive than them, even factoring in likeness rights.

    Quitting/putting collecting on pause

    I'm very lucky in that my Mom has always accepted my nerd tendencies and supports my collecting. She's even said that seeing my joy convinced her to start collecting a lot of the things she likes herself. My boyfriend's Mom is the opposite, though. Don't get me wrong- she's a lovely person, but...

    Seems like Harley is off to a good start. Page doesn't load for me every time, but last I checked, 58 backers, with over $5,000 raised- a little over 2% of the goal- in less than 10 minutes. Most folks seem to be going for the highest tier. We'll see if it's able to sustain that momentum. Lower...

    Looks like pricing is up for the Drawing Board Harley- $30 for the base figure, $35 for tier 2, $50 for Joker and Harley, and $70 for all. Goal is $250,000. Not too bad, all things considered. I was expecting worse. $50 for Joker and Harley ain't bad, since Harley herself is $30. I may actually...

    Alas, he took a page out of Papa John's book and has been canceled for saying some really problematic things about Ugnaughts.

    I was thinking that too- it's not quiiiite 100%, but I definitely know who it is. I think my BOTH set skews a little better than the single release, and certain angles do look better than others. I also think that, since he's a character who has so many big emotions, seeing him just kinda...

    Back up to 250. Ah, well. Shoulda just pulled the trigger at 145, but hopefully, since it dropped that low once, it'll do it again. Or I'll just snag Joker loose somewhere and be done with it

    My social cues used to be terrible too. Still are, to an extent. When people wanted to sleep with me, I didn't have the confidence to realize it. When I got the confidence, it was during a time when nobody wanted to sleep with me. I think part of that came from growing up in a part of the...

    So then which character is gonna spend the entire movie on an island, only to come in for the last scene and get cut off before they can say anything? 😂

    Star Wars Black Series

    I'd have to imagine the odds are probably pretty good of Palpatine being released individually in the future, it's just a matter of what he won't come with on the single release. I think ultimately I really just want a plain Palpatine with his lightsaber. Obviously the gnarly melted face is cool...

    I didn't even know the collectors' club was a thing until the other day, and only just now signed up for it. It appears they don't retroactively add your purchases to your point total, so I'm sitting on a big fat 0 right now. But that is a good point- if he charged $250 for 2 figures and a...

    I feel ya, friend. It's a lot of work at times, and you have to be prepared to have moments- long or short- where you're the one shouldering the responsibility for one or both of you, and I don't think anyone can really be faulted for not wanting or not being able to do that. It can be draining...

    That's cool! Can see a lot of folks making a custom Killer Croc out of it. Basically already looks like it!

    Think that's the first time he hasn't wanted something with his likeness around. I hope it's like those mysterious monoliths from a few years back, where a new one just pops up in a random place. Would be fun to watch him spiral.

    Very interested to see what the pricing on the tiers end up being. The Batmobile wasn't too unreasonable, all things considered. I assume (hope) the base level wouldn't be the same for both- 80 for the Batmobile is one thing, but for a figure is way too much. Though if the pricing is lower, I...

    My LCS has had the WWDITS Toony Terrors for a bit now. I grabbed the last Nadja and Laszlo when I was there the other day. They were clearly the hot sellers, as they got in 3 of each character, and they still had 3 each of Nandor, Guillermo, and Colin. Definitely gonna pick them up, but didn't...

    I'm right there with ya! I haven't pulled the trigger yet- really hoping it goes a bit lower, but I feel like I may end up just doing it. I really only want Joker, and he usually goes for around 100-140 on his own the few times he's been put up solo on Ebay, so a little more for everything else...

    I think I've only ever put together one model kit in my time, which was General Grievous. I had fun with it. Definitely gotta take it slow, but the instructions were pretty clear to where even a newbie like me had an easy enough time. Had a harder time with some Transformers than I did with him...

    I prefer the term "litterbox" myself when talking about Catwoman. Also, if you just remove the word "woman", everything you said could also describe Nightwing. 😅 If only his parents had landed on them absolute trampolines, they woulda been just fine! Don't know what's in the water this week...

    They certainly do, but the other other thing is that, aside from lying, some people are just totally not self-aware. They really do see themselves as certain things, which makes it even more tricky. Men especially (on both sides of the aisle, I'll admit), may genuinely see themselves as a...

    I assume you mean the Arkham City Catwoman? If so, she wasn't a Platinum, no. I think the lasting love for the game, plus the fact that she was pretty much the only "basic" modern-ish Catwoman that could fit into many displays made her a hot seller.
