>>11286226Games Workshop has said they can usually only hold onto someone for a couple years before they burn out and have all the space marines and orks they'll ever need, only occassionally buying a new box here and there. That's part of why they have to print new editions and codexes, too.
These hobbies have definite cycles where they need to reprint or remaster iconic figures like Vader and Spider-Man so new collectors can get into the line and build their teams.
Instead of going with the flow Todd chooses to do things like make one iconic version of Wonder Woman a Collector's Edition and if you miss out you're just fucked and have to settle for some Gal Gadot Wondy in your Avengers team. Productions runs are intentionally so limited that the secondhand market means you're going to be paying out the ass for some characters that have no hope of ever being reprinted in that form.
Basically, if you didn't start collecting McFarts at the beginning you're going to be paying insane scalper prices for core figures like classic Wonder Woman and Action Comics 1000 Superman. Couple that with orders getting delayed and cancelled and lolrandom variants, almost everyone here has been fucked by Todd and cycled out of the hype frenzy so now we just see how fucking annoying and exploitative Todd is.
Fuck yeah we love Imaginext and Spinmaster, those are some fun fucking toys.
