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.

Agreed.


I love Toyfair but it was always going to be heading this way I feel. E3 has been whittling away now for years. Yeah, it's great from a social standpoint and networking. The "Event"-ness of it. But with the internet and easier ways to hit consumers, it just doesn't make a lot of sense cost wise. I just hope as companies get a better grip on what people want to see, presentations will get better. Keep it tight and just show the product, like Nintendo Directs.

Also, people who unironically use the word "sheeple" are hilarious.
