This was never going to fail, the only question was how successful was it going to be, and I think that has been answered. Then you had the people who actively wanted it to fail, which is just absurdity of the highest order, but given that this was funded so quickly that group didn't have much of a chance to complain.

On top of that, every time I come to this board and see people discussing premium collectibles there's a clear lack of understanding over how it works. This was no different. I've been a part of this hobby in one form or another for thirty-plus years and there's always been a vocal group whining incessantly about how they want their "toys" but don't want to pay for them. It's really not that hard to understand, I mean, it's not "rocket science", right?

One thing people fail to take into account is a lot of “nerds” save up $$$$ for the conventions. That money is now freed up. Also, a lot of “nerds” work in essential services (IT, programming, and other services that are related to the conversion to working at home), meaning not as many are furloughed or laid off.
