I had enough of the toy community
6 months ago
One would think that something as simple as collecting action figures would be a fun hobby to share with your friends and others, but it turns out that it is just full of greed, selfish man-childern I have ever come across.
even though this Tariff thing suck right now it has open my eyes to the truth about the toy collection community. I never seen such a tocix group of adults since MLP and even that fandom for its shit cleaned up. (( still some issues but not as bad ))
So far Hasbro has put all their Pre-orders on hold till the issues with China are solved, and I guess they did. somewhat. to make a long story short, I said in a post that we should have talked to China last so we don't look desperate, but everyone in this Facebook group just jumped on me to tell me that was a bad Idea. Now I know a lot of stuff comes from them but I was more worried about food and energy that staff we need to survive but chunks of useless plastic are more important.
It feels like when all the pre-orders got put on, it was like cutting off a druggy from their addiction. Even some YouTubers are starting to lose it over toys.
I was smart and left that Facebook group, as we all know Facebook is full of old grumpy people who want to argue.
This did kind of give me a bit as I got depressed but the smart thing to do is walk away from all this and focus on the positive, not the negative. now that I have seen what the toy community has become, I'll be selling a lot of my stuff and only keep that which makes me happy. all the Warhammer stuff I'll keep that for sure but all my other stuff I feel it's time to go and time for me to grow up more.

How's that for dating myself, g'dang.
That said looking back I kind of wish I'd held onto the ones he gave me x.x.
