#cause it was a collectors edition
Text
Does anyone else have a book wishlist that's just a single book? Like you know how to get the rest so they're not really *wishes* so much as just eventual things?
Like it might be available but insanely expensive, or the edition you want is missing, or it's a lost media moment you're certain is real.
#i do#mines by#seanan mcguire#cause it was a collectors edition#and signed and everything#and i /could/ get an ebook#but its not the same as a physical copy#and i have trouble reading on a screen for a long time#so its just a moment#idk maybe its just me#queer books#wishlist#short story collection#booksbooksbooks

AAAAAAAAASHHHJHHNJVFFFDHF
IT CAME AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND LOOK AT IT AAAA ITS THE BOI
So happy with how this came out god, its such a treat for my eyes seeing the Famicom box art back in high quality and in such a beautiful package. It's not perfect but goddamn I don't care I love everything here so much and there's still a lot of fun little details that just make me screm :'D
Crazy to think it took decades to get here, through years of pc emulation and third party repros, by word of mouth and passion from fans and developers alike..... for a while I was sure it would be forgotten eventually.
But we made it. It feels unreal but Gimmick finally has official, physical release again and that's so fucking awesome :')
#aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa#fuckin god I'm so happy#crimas miracle#i dragged my partner on call to witness the opening#thirty minutes of just gushing and loosing my mind#the famicom box styling made my monke brain so happy#the cd is classy af too#and the plush is baby#a little weird looking but still baby#here comes the boi#but yeah#loved this collector's edition so much#excited for the limited run release too but i think this all peaked early cause lordy this is going to be hard to top#gimmick game#gimmick!#gimmick nes#gimmick famicom#gimmick special edition#gimmick collectors edition#japanese release#superdeluxe games#sunsoft#yumetaro#yumetaro gimmick#plush

Digital deluxe is one of the worst words I've heard from the sonic series.
#now I got hope that since it says the mecha parts are exclusive#that it could mean that the other skins are unlockable but idk.#Sonic SuperStars#Sonic Frontiers#frontiers is also included cause I mean cmon. Only physical bonus for any version in america was a steelbook case.#meanwhile Japan got the entire collector's edition#StH#Sonic the Hedgehog#dude I just wanna keep my physical media okay. gdi

My toxic trait is I will find any excuse to buy myself more books.
#yes I DID just spend $60 buying myself more classics because of that literary email list I just shared#no I should not have done that#no I do not regret it#yes they were all purchased used#in fact I bought them from better world books so I was also donating to a good cause#I try to buy used as much as possible#I say as though I don’t ALSO abut myself fancy brand new collectors editions of books like they’ll cure my depression#non fandom

👀 Okay so it sounds like we're getting over the top unconstrained RTD instead of my hope of Ninth Doctor/Torchwood Children of Earth RTD. Great.
#I had my suspicions#though I don't think any of us expected THAT#oh well#between my unwillingness to let Thirteen go and pandemic depression it means I have most of Jodie's era still to watch#cause I've literally only seen her first season and I loved it so much I put the rest on a shelf for Later#like a super special collector's edition of a doll or something#(no my brain has not made any sense this pandemic thank you for asking)

just discovered that there's a danish universal music store that does ship cds and stuff to sweden so I got the collector's edition of the black dog variant hihi
#they only had the black dog and albatross in store and I think the patch for the black dog will probably be cooler#but hard to know since they don't actually show it 🙄#I feel like the danish store has to be pretty new because it never showed up the previous times I've looked?#I thought the closest store was the german one#also never understood why you can buy other merch from there but physical copies of music only ship to germany#and switzerland I think? it never made any sense to me#I thought there was no way for me to get the special editions :/#cause I had no idea the danish store existed until right now#so I could have gotten one of the other two editions if I had only known :/ cause I think I kinda vibe more with them#but well it is what it is#I don't have any collector's edition stuff so I'm still happy with this even if I think I would've preferred the bolter#I guess there's a possibility it could come back in stock but idk#also sad about still not getting a signed cd but I am used to that particular disappointment at this point

you should buy it, it’ll be like adopting a senior bull dog that’s been at the shelter for years because he’s too territorial and bites
Lmao that’s a good point I feel like this about all the hetalia merch I bought second hand. I’m running a rescue centre for all the hetalia merch in my country. He would be happy here in his new home surrounded by familiar faces and a friend :)
#he’s 170€ though I think the last time I spent this much on a single merch item was 3 years ago#even the fallout collectors edition wasn’t that expensive…#it’s a lot of money that’s why I’m so hesitant 😭#but also I don’t want anyone else to have him so I should probably message the person selling him#maybe I can get a better price or at least free shipping cause that’s not included x_x#riva.ask

The thing I can't help thinking about in the wake of yet another preemptive TV show murder, is how terribly BAD these execs are at Making Money!
Like, okay, you have a show with great word of mouth and a loyal and passionate fanbase...
Do you make that show available to be paid for all over the world? No. If people outside the US want it, they can pirate it I guess.
Do you give people the opportunity to pay you twice by releasing physical copies?
No.
Do you merchandise the FUCK out of this property you own, that was the most popular new fandom on AO3 for a year?
No. Oh wait, after a year they released a couple T-shirts.
Being in Chinese fandoms has forever changed my idea of what actual people who want your money look like. Trying to watch a Chinese show? Cool, there's a partner to take your subscription fee for wherever you are in the world and episodes are released same day in most cases.
Want merch? Good cause you're going to get literally every type of possible merch from cheap plastic stuff to fashion lines and fine jewelry and candles and books and soundtracks and collector's editions, and it will keep coming for years and years.
Like, how do these people think Star Wars makes money? It's not tickets or Disney + subscriptions. It's fucking merch.
You could have SO MUCH MONEY if you wanted to actually make it. But what you want isn't money, it's Amorphous Cool Points you can turn into temporary stock increases and a better CEO job.
These networks have no interest in building fandoms and properties that continue to rake in cash over time. They just want to keep rolling the dice until they suddenly get a lightning strike of the biggest show in the world, and if it doesn't happen they lose interest.
And fewer and fewer people watch their new shows because they know it'll be two seasons and then cancelled unfinished like every other fucking thing.
These people are SO BAD AT CAPITALISM and it OFFENDS ME.

For all you collector fans rn
My only gripe with the finale. Little guy should have stayed
Edit: ok so if you want my actual rational opinion then look at this post!! Cause I see people in the tags making good points and I think “wait that’s not what I mean!!” But then remember that THIS is the post they are reblogging and I go “oh yeah haha”
#like not even that!!#he’s just a little guy who was so distraught at the thought of being alone#let him know he has a place with them and can stay…#toh#the owl house#the collector#toh spoilers#the owl house spoilers#toh watching and dreaming

The only thing I’m upset about is P3 isn’t releasing first over P5R. u_u It’s the only one not on a..uhh...”modern console” (I’ll include steam as one I guess). Of course it’s P5 too >_> Yeah unless it’s a physical release, I’m gonna wait till it’s in the bargain bin (esp on steam).
But I guess it makes sense from the PS5 angle.....BUT at the same time you can play the ps4 vers.......so you should port the older games first......sigh I just hope the turn around is fast. u_u
#you won't get ALL my money Atlus! *shakes fist*#probs won't get p5r for awhile just for spite#not cause of p3p not releasing first but just cause i don't like p5 and i have other things to plat first#i'll get the physical editions tho >_> cause y'all making physical collectors stuff hard to get nowadays fkljfs;a jk jk#it really comes down to physical vs digital#p3/4 are a diff story that's an instant buy i'mma support you whole heartedly (even tho it's the version of P4 I don't care for)#silly talks#i'mma be honest all this should've happened like........months after p5 vanilla's original release#on ps4 at least#other consoles can wait just get it on the main console you had p5 on at least!

the thing is that i genuinely think the idea of batburger in current continuity is kind of dumb (jokerize the fries, rolling my eyes) partially because it's clear it's a concept so you can have 5 panels go viral for humor partially because the way everyone's fast and loose with secret id's in the field they may as well have a bruce wayne burger on the menu-
but there's a part of me that thinks that the concept of batburger (sans jokerize the fries, because again. rolling my eyes) would have been absolutely hilarious and on-brand for 90s comics during the urban myth era.
because fast food today is nothing compared to the branding and advertising of fast food era of the 80s and 90s. like when mcd's got swarmed for the teenie beanies by collectors causing fights and injuries over kids meal toys??? you could never see that kind of passion today.
imagine. you are a local businessman in gotham. you are trying to think of a fast food restaurant to market to 10 year olds. you hear of a local urban legend that all the kids are talking about, the batman, and you've decided you've struck gold. you get to work. batburger. you make mascots a la ronald mcdonald and the crew, but you don't have any idea what the batman actually looks like so you just make it up based on what would appeal to kids and make them want to eat your food. i imagine your batman has vampire teeth or is literally a man dressed in a bat costume. your robin is a man dressed up as a literal robin. you make a tv show about them where the crimes they solve are the mystery of the missing fries. you have commercials. there is no copyright on batman as a concept. bruce wayne is powerless to stop you. when you do a special limited edition superhero toy series in your robin meals, collectors come and start a riot. batman comes to break it up.
#tim drake shows up with a robin meal on patrol and bruce's frown intensifies#batman? oh you mean the fast food mascot yea i've heard of him#i just think the concept would have been infinitely more hilarious during the actual heyday of fast food
