Holy shit the influx from /v/ is staggering.
Listen up, since you guys are akin to eating the shit fed to you it comes as no surprise that you'd shed the extra cash for muh zelda. For those of you not in the know GSC (Good Smile Company) is the distributor of Figma. Their online shop (Good Smile Company Online Shop) will have an EXCLUSIVE variant that comes with all the extra shit for a higher price point.
Not that bad right?
Well what you all also probably don't know is that the online shop has a flat rate shipping expense of 2000 yen. The reason this is bad is because it makes the figure WAY more expensive than it SHOULD be. (Don't try to argue that the price is fair, the online shop exclusive controversy pre-dates the time you people from /v/ were born. Also figuarts could be of equal quality and still come with more shit at a lower price point.)
The reason this is a problem is because when /v/ comes out of the woodwork and starts blindly purchasing these things they are effectively Enabling GSC's behavior making the rest of the line suffer as a result.
I know boycotting this figure is probably damn near impossible for a lot of you, but I'm not gonna let desire trump reason on this one as I am tired of Goodsmile's shit and this is the straw that broke the camels back.
