$20 a month for the least popular $10 plastic figurines that cost $2 to make and the manufacture has thousands sitting in overstock that they sell to loot box for probably 50 cents each, then a bunch of promotional comic books and stickers and XL tshirts with nerd poo poo that are probably made out of burlap

:eyepop:

This is stuff you literally would struggle to give away but somehow if you put $20 price tag on and it call it a nerd game thing then its worth something.

they have "$67.85 value" with decimal points and everything so you know they couldnt have made it up

its like when you buy lovely legal firework stands with a big box that costs $100 but they say $450 VALUE and it actually works because enough people live their lives in complete ignorant bliss
