NECA and Walmart to Launch AutoT Platform for Digital/Physical Collectibles

This seems like a really weird system, I'm lucky I don't care about these particular versions of these figures but red shirt Casey was also on Shredder's box so going through hoops to get him in the UK will be a pain.

[goatchumby]

I'd rather skip the fiery hoops and just order the blue Renet that I wanted in the first place

[ShabbyBlue]

I wonder if this means we're also going to get black and white variants of the new Mirage turtles that were shown at SDCC this year.

Cause people who buy toys infamously want to keep them digital where you can't touch them or show them off properly. Fuck nfts

[Vessiel]

Why this perverse mechanism? I don't understand.

This isn't Hasbro, a large, publicly traded company with stockholders to appease and of such a size that you've got one limb not knowing what the other is doing, giving individual teams some insulation from awful choices from corporate. NECA is a small company that has a larger measure of accountability for the actions it takes. And this shit is gross. Maybe a year ago they could have played dumb, but today? Nope. Nope, nope, nope.

I know that my dollars are just a drop in their bucket, but I legit will not pick up another NECA product until this dies.

So I have to go to a Walmart, purchase an image of a toy, then go home and go online to then pay to have the item shipped to me?

[Flux Convoy]

Yuck. Just yuck. Having to wade through crypto garbage just to purchase something from a store notoriously bad at just selling you exclusives is just fucking gross.

Shredder looks silly, he is short with a big head.

I have read this 5 times and still don’t get it. So you don’t even know what you are buying until it is on your receipt? Then you don’t even own it? It’s “digitally” stored? So it doesn’t even exist?

This sounds like people in my family that brag about all the money they have in the bank or in crypto. No, you own a piece of paper that says someone else stores this paper/digital money you own.

1 in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.

[IzzyTipsy]

To be fair, our IRL money is only worth anything because the U.S. government says so. It's not even backed by actual gold anymore.

Did anyone opt for AutoT to vault theirs?
