The golden age of being surrounded by toys in a store is long gone. I love that things are made to order, I however don’t love that super7 can command almost $70 for a figure.( going on what Brian said in a podcast, that will be around the new price.) honestly after shipping and tax we are there now.

I don't like those prices, either, but I'm not a kid anymore like I was decades ago. I got a job and my own kid now, I can't hang outside stores waiting to grab exclusives anymore. That last time I did I saw a couple of grown ass adults fighting over a toy and I couldn't help but be embarrassed for all of us, but mostly at myself wondering why the fuck I ever enjoyed doing this?

No, I don't want to pay like $70 for Super7, but at least I'm not wasting my day off and gas money trying to go store to store hunting those limited figures down anymore, either.
