    Ugh. This board can be so hypocritical. "blah blah blah all you idiots just want hype toys blah blah blah, oh what's that? A new nag? EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP SO I CAN GET MINE". The phrase "cognitive dissonance" comes to mind.

    I can't tell you how many PMs I've gotten from people offering toys at flip rates from people that post "FUCK FLIPPERS FUCKING BOTS".

    At this point if you think you can score a nag from a drop or lotto and a post here is going to be the thing that prevents it, you're out of your mind.

    From what I got from instagram the sculpt is by Exohead, but what is the Nag connection?

    With Saku being such a talented painter I highly doubt he'd let someone paint the first release.

    I got the strangest feeling will see the first release soon!

    Please keep applying this to all new releases posted on SB Psilo. I love this saying. It's one of those comedic devices that gets better with repetition.

    I think I'm going to use it at the liquor store today. Maybe at the dentist as well. The possibilities are truly endless.

    the loose lips strategy actually worked well for quite some time... Then IG became a thing... sad part is users, blogs, etc that don't really care about the toy, and just a new post for them... that's what makes it hard... folks here used to check sites daily for lottos, drops, etc... and they would be rewarded for it. because they would score... now the whole, on i know info ima share it to everyone, yes that can be lame. I don't wanna say a new "generation" of noobs... but the next wave of new collectors... they don't follow the unwritten rules of the older ones in this hobby... and by that i don't mean age, rather than experience. I'm not even saying that older collectors feel that sense of "entitlement" some do i'm sure... but that goes the same with some of these new wave members to, they feel they deserve the product more than the next. can go on about this conversation for hours, because there is points on both sides of the round table. i personally side with the, if you want to be in the know, be in the know. it shouldn't be easy where someone keeps tabs on their favorite brands/artists... only to be outted by Billy Bad Ass, and his 15 other friends that entered the raffle for him, since he found out thanks to a IG post... that without that, he would of just been circle jerking on a friday night

    On the side of the toy maker, this doesn't really apply to Shig Nags or the like, but the smaller guys, the more exposure the better chance of actually selling the things we work so hard to create. I whole heartedly support sharing info, not only on releases but also the process. That's just me I guess. Not everyone may get the toy they want when they want it but if that did happen then all of our collections would pretty much look the same, BORING. Actually as of lately most collections do look the same. :D

    To which I'll simply respond that this hobby is a lot less stressful if you stop treating toys like you're Gollum playing Pokemon.

    If not being able to add a 23rd Ollie to your collection causes you to lose sleep at night, I highly suggest you seek professional counseling.

    Not trying to be a dick since I actually like your toys, but of course that's the case in a hopelessly oversaturated market where everybody and their mother is making a LIMITED SAWFEWBEE KAIJOO toy.

    :lol: Brilliant.

    Way ahead of you.

    I can understand that completely. It's just hard to see the same toys being bought up for insane prices over and over and over while other great toys are out there to be had and are often overlooked. Now I sound like a whiny blowhard with a chip on my shoulder but I honestly don't, I'm just stating another view. I like this new release I just can't afford it, or any toy for that matter. All of my cash goes to making these things.

    Well, if it's any consolation you make some of the cooler gaijinfubi around.

    Wilson represent! Sofubi manna arises from the ashes of a sorry, nondescript southern town devoid of taste or culture!

    (EDIT: I grew up there, and have full rights to trash it).

    Don't take it personally. Christ, Mr. Brainwash pieces were selling like hotcakes despite the fact he was basically introduced in a documentary as a "look how ridiculous you idiots are, you'll pay out the nose for shitty Andy Warhol knock-offs" piss take. The flip ratio was downright funny (at its peak I'd say about 40% of his pieces were bought for flipping exclusively). At a certain point people are buying status symbols, not art.

    I'll take a single piece from Skinner, MVH, or Paul Kaiju over an army of "these nags cost as much as a mortgage payment because he spends 4 hours per eye" bullshit.

    And this is coming from a guy that likes nags too.

    Yeah it's a shithole and I'm trying to head back to VA as soon as possible. 8) My wife's job was transferred to Raleigh and we fell in love with a mid century modern house in Wilson of all places.

    Oh, I agree 100%. Guess it just goes to show that most of the hype around certain lines is based mostly on herd instinct rather than actual enthusiasm for toys.
