>>10683549This is exactly the right attitude. It's fine to be initially upset, but don't dwell on it or ragequit.
>>10683566Hahahaha, just add to your watchlist anon, no need to visit everyday!
I've managed to get 3 grails from Mandarake the same way.
You'll get your Raiden anon, I did. Don't give up hope.
>>10683623Never pay scalpers anon, that only encourages them. Just be patient and look everywhere. I've found figures sold out everywhere show up on obscure (but legitimate) store sites at retail years after they were released.
>>10683718 >>10684000>not giving money to scalpers>Just got to be patientThese anons get it
>>10684392>I used to resell collectibles as a side hustle>sold them cheap a year, 35% more of their original value>cheap>35% more>the value skyrocketedI have no sympathy for scalpers. Sucked in anon, I hope it made you cry.
>>10687820>I think grails are mostly ego driven. We buy things because they're expensive because it impresses those who don't have the means.Maybe that's true for a lot of anons, but that's never been true for me. I have very specific tastes and criteria for my toys and buy figures that fit my collection.
My grails are all figures that fit my criteria perfectly, so no, I don't buy things "because they're expensive" (I will only ever buy them at close to retail) or as a flex.
>>10688032>the American Dream isn't real
