Idk, I kinda want to try it out. I'd be OK with $14.99 bi monthly if I was really enjoying a magazine. I miss those early issues of super7, great photos and neat toys

Honestly weird since I think Maggie and Marge would sell more if people already had Bart and Homer? Since Bart and Homer are definitely more marketable and people would buy these to complete the set?

They learned after a few waves that people just want the family in their default outfits (though I think it's because Marge doesn't have many good outfit changes other than her police uniform).
I don't expect this line to last long, I'm just going to pick up Radioactive Man and Poochie when I see them on sale.
I would have gotten Krusty since I like the idea of using it as the Killer Krusty Doll but stuff being removed turned me off.

I'll think about it, might be another "wait for a sale" thing, I've been burned enough to not want to pay full price for their stuff again.
>or go to a Universal, maybe they have good dolls too
One of these days I need to go to the park, they have some okay-ish quality plushes there.
Apparently they did make a Killer Krusty in the past and now it's going for $200.

yes. on top of everything being more expensive in general, circulation numbers are way lower, making cost per issue go up. barnes and noble has magazines that are $20+ in their magazine section. as an occasional periodical enjoyer, it's a real bummer.

I bought this one issue JUST for the Secret Wars coverage because the author shared pics on facebook. Otherwise I wouldn't buy a magazine, and this one was otherwise "meh". Show me older prototypes or give me a photo heavy guide of a vintage line, otherwise I don't care.

No there's just too few buyers. They tell people it's super expensive so they don't feel stupid for being nostalgic and keep buying.

I remember when Toyfare was $5 a pop up until the end. You saved $20 a year via subscription too, but id have less reason to leave the house. The future is now I have less reason because print and toy stores are dead

the snark wasnt necessary, I've noticed the increase in periodical prices for years now even before the economy took a turn for the worse. the fact that comics have been pushing their way from 4.99 to upwards of 7.99 nowadays tipped me off that things were in a bad way. I cant help but wonder whether its a matter of low readership or production expenses. hell maybe there just isnt enough of a turn around in profit to even make print media in any capacity worthwhile.

this makes more sense. though one has to wonder what a cheap newsprint rag would go for nowadays. Im talking one printed on the cheapest paper with no color printing or gloss whatsoever.

I still feel like Super7 is running a sort of ponzi scheme after messing up something, and are using new preorders to pay for old preorder products.

The raw volume of ultimates they have been throwing up for preorder has gotten nuts.

didn't toyfare come in a plastic bag? as a kid I loved going to the mall and reading all the gaming magazines bu sadly toyfare as always inside a bag so I couldn't really read it unless someone else had already ripped it out of the bag. I was too much of a pussy to do that myself, I already felt judged for reading the magazines for free.

It's not only bringing back the most famous modern actor, and one of the most famous modern companions, but they also brought back the most famous modern writer. The female Doctor Who killed it that hard. Also, like the actor was shit don't get me wrong, but the writing was actually the worst part of it, even Moffat would have done better female Who stories. They are not only reeking of desperation, you can actually visualize the smell.
