I have an epidemic of people who just sit on the floor and read stuff. When I shoo them away they say they'll just go rad it at B&N. Fuckers.

As a paying customer (of other places unfortunately), I appreciate this so much. I've had to return books with pages torn out because of that behavior.

one dude who is getting close to being canned because he's just too loving weird.

Define weird. What are we talking about here? Is he a bit to passionate about certain comics and goes into customer offending rants or does he fart into cash registers?

Have you tried talking to him about it?



Also in that same vein of not carrying comics, I know a hobby shop guy that tried to do comics for a bit. After a year he just gave up because no one would buy from him. Including regulars, who would actually meet up at his store, then drive to another store, buy a comic there, and then drive back and read it in his store. I think he had one guy that had a decent pull list, and I bought a few trades from him.

I genuinely don't see the appeal of most of them. I bought the Saga set because I freaking love the book and there's not a lot of merchandise out there, and I've grabbed a few others that aren't horrifically misshapen, but for the most part I don't see the appeal of a bobblehead that doesn't bobble.

That's all you need to know about why Funkos are/were popular, once they started going hyper mainstream, they started dying.

and a lot of my friends have got Steven Universe ones because that's the only merch you can really get).

There are some Mcfarlane fake lego things of the SU cast, I kind of want the Van, but it's basically a sticker with some Legos under it.

Those things are junk and the price point is insulting. We opened a Rick & Morty set for display and there were a bunch of essential pieces missing.

I was just saying there were alternatives to Funkos.

I picked up the Governor's room with the light up head cases, and it was pretty dire. Kind of magical that the Governor can't sit on his chair.
