Title: I never ever have brags but...
Post by: Silverflame on December 10, 2021, 07:08:12 PM: I had a half day at work today and decided to swing by my local comic shop with my extra time. They've had an out-of-box My Little Pony bishoujo figure of Fluttershy I've been pining for for months, since she's the last one I needed to complete my collection.

Today, the employee misread the $299 price tag for $29. I gave him EVERY OPPORTUNITY to correct himself, even pointed out how much the price must have dropped since last time I was in.

After my $20 rewards coupons, I walked out with a figure that regularly sells for $500-600 for 11 bucks after tax.

I am the HAPPIEST COLLECTOR

The Kotobikiya bishoujo line is mostly comic book women and re-imagined horror characters, but they started doing the MLP line a bit ago and I'm completely obsessed with them. Luna and Celestia are coming out soon and I can't wait to get them!

Congrats! I like these figures a lot especially Rainbow Dash.

Post by: Silverflame on January 03, 2022, 07:45:08 PM: For everyone wondering, the employee seems fine lol. The shop doesn't track specific inventory (It's one of those places that just lists everything as "action figure" or "comic book"), so I doubt anyone is even aware of the error. And in fact, upon seeing him behind the counter today, I think he's actually a manager. Somehow? XD

Post by: Snapdragon on January 15, 2022, 04:26:02 PM: WOW what a deal!! I'm glad to hear that the employee/manager didn't get in any trouble!! Maybe (if he's a manager) he made the executive decision to mark down the price, if she's been sitting there for months? Who knows! Way to go!!! :heart:
