Those in the know appear to think the future, the foreseeable wil be somewhat bleak.

Myself, i've taken a head in the sand approach, to some degree.
Fact is, COVID-19 has caused delays. I am still waiting on a piece from 2018 that was supposed to ship in 2019
I have 3 Hot Toys on pre_order. Captain Marvel (non EX) still hasn't shipped? Wasp has been pushed back time and time again.
I sense anything ordered now, won't been in collectors hands for atleast 1.5 to 2 years time. Then there's the dreaded shipping prices on the rise.

I mean it hasn't hit everyone the same way. In fact I've experienced a raise by working from home if anything. I think the only reason we aren't in free fall is the internet itself. It still allows people to shop and use services.

There is a bigger picture of the amount of borrowing that has to be paid back. Then there are those that have lost jobs, now claiming. There has been mention of tax hikes to cover the borrowing. News today of impending recession. In all situation's there are winners.

Haven't you heard?



Just trust this guy wearing a mask in a homemade bunny suit.

We all have the right to get infected, spread it, and then give it to your favorite health care worker when you get sick.

We're all good...

On another note.. is prime like XM studio? Are these Made to order? or do they already have a production run # of units?
You gotta learn a trade that's recession proof. Your "friends" may not think highly of you, but you'll be working and buying statues while they are starving.

Depression is for sure coming. They say you won't see the effects though till another 6 months at least.

For example they are saying unless you want to lose a lot of money don't buy a house. We're about to see all those dominos fall just takes a while to get it motioned.

Truth is everything has been hyperinflated for a while. It needs to reset

Russia mentioned not being hit by COVID-19
Later on, Russia admitted they had a COVID-19 problem.
Did anyone catch the Russian advice: Drink Vodka (seriously).

I know someone who is Russian, but does not live there anymore, and they told me the infection rate was 43% of Russian's have it.

Sadly, that photo was taken about 5 miles from my house.

Yeah even though I'm still working, it still feels a bit insane to make any gigantic statue purchases right now, unless it's something that's an absolute must-have. And unfortunately this just doesn't quite rise to that level.

Same goes for the QS Alita bust I was close to ordering before all this happened.
