Quoted By:
Quit RD when the average one exceeded $100 because I didn't feel the value to cost ratio was there.
Quit ML because no characters I wanted were being made, and I realized I was wasting money on things on a whim instead of things I wanted.
Quit Figma because the engineering never improved at any point more than a token step forward and then step back the next release.
Quit SIC because the releases just stopped being impressive before the new renewal stuff.
Quit Revos because they stopped making robots, and the Vulcanlog stuff was insanely overpriced.
Quit most 3p TFs because it's mostly MPs and Legends scales, neither of which I'm interested in.
Quit NECA because the last 3 figures I bought from them all had serious breaks and I didn't feel like taking another risk.
Quit gunpla because of exclusive after exclusive after exclusive, none of which I could buy below scalper prices because P-Bandai doesn't service my country.
All but quit mainline Transformers because the cost to quality has gone out the fucking window.
Continue to question quitting several other lines and companies because the dollar continues to get worse and prices continue to climb, with quality and value dropping off a fucking cliff.
It feels shitty and I'll still buy the occasional toy from these lines, but I buy way less than usual and more just buy used stuff for toys and lines I missed out on. I don't think anything could really make me quit forever, but the last 5 years have really tested me on keeping up with anything actively.
