Have you ever bought video game merch, Yea Forums? Things like artbook, soundtracks, figures, etc. Funkopops don't count.

I've considered it but I can't really see any point. For... figures and artbooks at least. I've seen cool figurines or artbooks but what the fuck do you specifically want that for? Not that I care about having video game stuff, but what difference does it make to have it sitting on a table nearby so you can look at it every once in a while and say "cool" and forget it again? Just looking at a picture of it and acknowledging it's cool is the same, or reading a PDF over buying a physical artbook. It's a bunch of money poured into a sink that accomplishes nothing but give you a physical tether for something you like as if you have to prove you're dedicated by buying some trinkets. I never see anyone address this so maybe I'm just the most oblivious retard ever but I don't know how you can drop two hundred dollars (or however much these things cost) on something you'll only get novel interest out of. Unless you just pore over them all day?
Nicholas Roberts
Ye. Artbooks and figurines really. Collector's Editions too if those count.
Aaron Parker
Thanks to Trump, you'll have to pay $300 for shipping if you plan on buying anything outside of America.
Absolutely based.
Henry Smith
I'm not from america.
Kayden Ramirez
I cannot stop fucking buying figures. I have 70 already and 14 on pre-order.
Chase Cooper
Hilda doesn't have blue eyes
Carter Richardson
I actually envy you. I wish I still had the money for it. I'm only at 9 figurines. I bought 8 of them in Japan a few months ago. But unemployment fucks with you hard here.
Kevin Stewart
Who the fuck is hilda?
Joshua White
This was the most recent thing, I need to dust off everything else and add it to the collection for some new pictures, I'm just too lazy though.
Landon Myers
They're lovely and all, but you run out of room for them all really quickly in a small flat.
Hope things get better for you user.
Josiah Collins
Thank you, user. I hope so too. I haven't even opened up mine yet because of a lack of room, coincidentally enough. They're all still boxed.
Samuel Evans
Jackson Morgan
>Have you ever bought video game merch, Yea Forums?
Nope.
Christopher Foster
Bro, that's margarine luka.
Aaron Edwards
Why would you lie?
Thomas Ramirez
I've got 2 Monster Hunter figure builder figs, Deviljho and Pukei-Pukei.
Juan Green

Well I got two Funkopops as gifts about a year apart from eachother, the only thing people seem to know about me is that I like a "Team Fortress Two", so I've got a Scout and Heavy Funkopop now.
No other vidya merch, I don't like the idea of wasting my money on plastic. Pixels already take enough of my money.
Jason Cook
I've got 4 figures and 5 artbooks, I don't think anyone's scanned the Unlimited SaGa artbook so there's a plus about doing that. Want more but I need to finish college and move out.
Nathaniel Carter
I used to buy strategy guides for games I didnt own as a kid. They would sell like 3 of them for 10 at kb toys I think so I had a nice stack. Nowadays I just buy models and figures. For rpgs and such
Samuel Phillips
I own all the figurines.
All.
Ethan Torres
I'm her fag and i knew it
Colton Smith
Why would she need a fag?
Justin Foster
No. I grew up dirt poor and anything that doesn't pass a certain usefulness threshold won't get bought no matter how much I want it.
I'm not poor anymore and i still can't break this way of thinking.
Nicholas Bennett
fag=equals fan or xfag
you newfag
Isaac Allen
I've been here since 2008 and I've never seen someone say that he's someones fag. If anything they'd say "I'm a x-fag" and not "I'm her fag".
Caleb Jackson
I bought a sword.
Not some wallhanger made in China, a proper forged sword made from spring steel.
No affiliation to any vidya, but vidya definitely helped me wanting a sword.
Michael Lee
Well, it's also a way of saying it?
Josiah Johnson
>spending $150 on cheap plastic toys
No thanks.
Juan Green
I'm tempted (heh) to get that Luka Temptation figure. Then again, I haven't really been into anything Miku in years.
Liam Anderson
Damn I love blackjack Luka. What a babe
Nolan Price
Not Vidya but I bought the boogiepop light novels
Joshua Sanders
Figs and artbooks mainly
Leo Sanders
I harbor a visceral hate against Funko Pops. All the weeaboo and comic book stores now have a billion of these ugly things instead of high quality figures. They are cheap and appeal to normalfags so they can have epic Avengers and GoT merchandise, so they sell way more than regular figures.
There were cool stores in my city full of HQ anime and vidya merchandise(figures, plushes, artbooks, etc) and now they are all full of Funko Pops instead and barely anything else. I fucking hate it
Connor Green
I bought the Prey artbook, i liked the game very much
youtube.com
Joshua Wright
I already had the US release when I got this.
Leo Phillips
Brandon Ross
You are correct, there isn't much of a point. It really is just a money sink
James Evans
Well theres nothing wrong with collecting vidya shit. My dad collects stamps and they just end up in a folder and i collect my toe nail clippings.
Cameron Morgan
I don't understand the appeal. Even nendoroids look better.
Jayden Butler
yes, i have a few plushies and many figures.
i´ve been thinking about buying her lately.
Levi Fisher
I just happened to have some leftover credit at Gamestop and grabbed a few bargain bin games and a Megaman amiibo going for cheap before the store went out of business. I don't even have a nintendo console.
Jacob Hernandez
Not really. I think that the only artbook I have is Fire Emblem: Fates one, and that’s only because in that case collector’s edition was the only way to get all 3 Fates story paths on one cartridge.
I really just don’t see the point in most cases. Artbooks are nice but you only really look at them once, soundtracks are the only ones that interest me but they are usually comically hard to find and overpriced so I get the songs through more practical routes (props to devs who put them up with digital versions of games tho, I’m not beyond paying for them as long as they’re sensibly priced), and figures just go into the ”can’t understand how hard I try” bin, shit’s just kitschy.
Nolan Morgan
I own a Pikachu amiibo.
Anthony Miller
Vidya soundtracks would make for a good object of collecting if CD wasn't going the way of the dinosaur
Henry Miller
i've got the hotline miami soundtrack on vinyl
Eli Turner
the release date keeps changing
Carson Williams
whats the point of anything, really?
Ethan Lee
Just Dorbz.
Carson Torres
got the bonfire on the way now, cant wait
Ian Garcia
been waiting for them to put preorders up for thsi for a little over a year now, supposedly wasnt cancelled so im still waiting
Logan Bennett
I don't understand how this set could be so beautiful in 1 and 3 and so meh in 2.
Thomas Sanders
The point is to look at panties when you can't see them in-game
Liam Hernandez
I got this near Doom collectible replica. Even plays E1M1 when you push a button. Fucking worth it
Hunter Torres
No it's not
Adam Myers
international shipping is as expensive as it's always been
>spend $150 on plastic shit
>save the box and sell it for double in 2 years
Carson Campbell
i think 2's lighting and texturing (material looks specifically) was just dogshit, making lots of sets looks like garbage
Nicholas Flores
Pops look better than amiibos at least.
Gavin Wood
My only complaint is how loud the E1M1 sound is. I can't wait to see Eternal's collectible figures. They said the demon's get figures now, too.
Josiah Russell
I'm playing that game for the first time when I get home, mail should be in today
Nolan Rivera
Used to heavily buy figures of anime and video games. Probably about to get banned from amiami after 7 years from just ignoring orders. Been buying OSTs instead since I'm way more passionate about video game music. Just got the Mega Man Battle Network Sound Box.
Kayden Hill
I wish I was either self-confidant enough to not give a shit or was friends/family with people who were okay with or better yet appreciate sexy anime/vidya figures.
Michael Scott
>mfw all the vidya model kits I want to buy only have Japanese instructions
Matthew King
Never.
Daniel Cook
Huh?
Owen Hernandez
yea all kinds, wearables, posters, figures, collectors editions, artbooks
the thing i can recommend the most is pic related.
David Walker
That's like asking why people buy statues, ornaments, paintings or any other decorative objects you most likely have all over your house or your parents house.
Chase Foster
I don't know how to setup the girl I bought because she comes with wings and stuff and I don't think there's an manual
Carson Martinez
inb4 that autistic normalfag anti buyfag sperg shows up in the thread to ruin it again
Matthew Cruz
Just learn japanese
William Davis
I got the Atelier Arland artbook because I love that series and it had design notes you couldn't get in the games. But they went and released an updated version afterwards with even more stuff in it which is annoying.
Nicholas Jenkins
Yes.
Ian Baker
Here's your Bomberman figure, bro.
Blake Johnson
Been a few years since I last bought something.
Cooper Richardson
Delete that figure
Liam Bell
There hasn't been anything new announced that I really want. Maybe that Kawakami figure if it turns out alright, though I would have preferred the teacher version over the maid outfit.
