The Batman Joker figures that came out 6 or 7 years ago. I got them via from people in china on ebay
I just had to wait the long wait to get them
Someone I knew of was a huge batman fan{they have tattoos of the various symbols of batman on their arms}
Was very upset I had them and went out to look to get them and got very upset at the price
This repeated itself over Black Widow

Urgh. At the NYCC there was some special limited edition SHELD badge like in the show that you could buy for $50. They are now like $300+ on ebay. Stop making stuff exclusive people!

I think you're sort of missing the point of my objection

yeah
the issue is that rape is a fucked up, horrible, dehumanizing experience that leaves lasting scars on its victims
paying more than you'd like to for an action figure is not
and it's shitty to use the former to describe the latter. I'm sure you're not meaning to diminish what victims of actual rape have gone through, but that's what casually tossing around the word when talking about trivial stuff actually does.

THey should stop making the stuff they hand out at certain events a before hand known
I got a certain figure I will not talk about from SDCC two or three years ago because I was curious why were people after this?
Now sadly I collect certain things of this

like, I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, casually using "rape" isn't the worst thing people do, but it's still harmful and something that should be relatively easy to correct, it's just that a lot of people don't realize they're doing it and need to be reminded every now and then that trivializing rape is bad.
"I couldn't think of another word" is pretty much the worst excuse ever though
"Last time I had all of Earth's Mightiest Heroes versus one British character actor, and I needed more conflict," Whedon told Empire. "I'm having a blast with Ultron. He's not a creature of logic - he's a robot who's genuinely disturbed. We're finding out what makes him menacing and at the same time endearing and funny and strange and unexpected, and everything a robot never is."
Alright, really long and random tangent that I will absolutely cross-post in Help/Advice, but thought maybe someone here wouldn't see it there, so here we go!
I've been looking hardcore for a job for about a year now, and the pipe-dream of "jeez, just open a comic shop or something" has inched closer and closer to a viable option over that time. Viable in the sense that my initial grand plan of "go back to school!" is looking sillier and sillier in this day and age. I have an associates degree, 10 years experience in my field, and I can't find anything over $9/hr. Talking with friends, and seeing people in my life with MASTERS degrees in very, very similar situations has made me realize that the cost of going back to school, in loans, would actually be GREATER than the cost of taking out loans to open a business. The debt vs. payoff seems to be roughly the same to me. The chance of finding success also seems to be about the same.
I've been looking more and more online about opening a business in general, since I literally know absolutely nothing. But I feel a lot of people start where I am, so I'm trying not to get discouraged. I know I'm not alone, and I know not every 31 year old in history who was totally lost in life ended up dead and pennyless, so there's absolutely hope I can do this. I'm well aware it's going to be a ton of work - and that's all the advice I seem to find online. "Oh its a horrible thing." "Oh its a ton of work." "Oh all businesses fail." "More specifically, comics are a horrible business and you shouldn't do it." But people DO do it. Because shops exist! And people make a living off of it. Not become millionaires, but spend their life doing something that they enjoy and excel at. So I'm growing tired of every avenue I look to for advice being "Don't do it." Because that's the advice for a lot of things in life right now.
So - with that said! - if anyone at all here knows anything about opening a shop, I'd love to talk about it. PM me if you think it derails too much here. But after yet another day of job searching it's time I really do my due diligence and look into my dream. It's corny, but it's true. I have all the time in the world to pour into this, I just have no idea where to start.
Thank you, and hail HYDRA.

Since the alliteration of meat curtains was a hot topic last night
you should probably work on expanding your vocabulary
"these things cost too much"
"this is too expensive"
"I would prefer not to spent this much money"
"too many dollars oh no help"
"I couldn't think of another word" is pretty much the worst excuse ever though
My wallet is being sexually assaulted, please help.
I enjoy rich, Corinthian leather and I'm not going to apologize.
Welcome back, Parker
But god I hope they don't dwell on it, I'm so incredibly done with citizens hating spider-man but loving other heroes for no reason
Well they kinda... have a reason
I am real interested in seeing Whedon's Ultron
I'm just so tired of spider-man threat or menace
Almost as tired as I am of Super poor peter parker
What a ballsy, awesome move.
Also,
It's never going to happen
