Prize Score

As a collector, at times I would come accross items that are rare and sought after by the collecting community.

How is it rare? It's usually due to the unpopularity(or that's what the toy makers think) of the character in which causes the toy makers to pack/produce less of the figure. Or they could just be creating demand, by supplying less of it.

I was at Toys R Us with bro. At the side Justice League Unlimted (JLU) 3 pack figs bin, there were a couple. The guy was explaining to his girlfriend on which is the rare ones blablabla... you know, the kind of things that I would type here and you would roll your eyes and thought "Oh no, another anime/toy post..." and just ignore the post all together.

The JLU bin looked unusually full. The last time we were there, it looked less full. So we thought they might have refilled it again and maybe there's something new in there.

After the couple left, we browsed through.

Bro spotted these:

From Episode: Hawk and Dove
Wonder Woman, Hawk and Dove set.

And also:

From Episode: The Greatest Stories Never Told
Booster Gold, Superman and Martian Manhunter.

I dug em out and found another set Hawk and Dove set for my bro. Brother wasn't sure if he wants to get them.

"Ko! The original price of the figs is RM 60+ and now it's around RM 25. These are rare!! I think it's a no brainer!"

With that reasoning, he decided to get them.

The couple came back and the guy stopped the girlfriend when he saw what we were holding. He decided to try his luck but, couldn't find the ones we had. If he had dug in earlier, he would have found em. Too bad.

*croses hands* WO~Hahahaha~!!!

Dude, if it's any consolation, you still get to go home with your hot gf. :P
