So we're just about to Summer of '24. Where are you with your collecting/lines/thoughts of hobby? To me, it seems we're still in adjustment down. Not seeing excitement from most I talk to. Many are burned out. Many say they can't afford it anymore. Post anything you want!

@GovernorVA You didn't follow the state constitution, you put deceptive ballot language and you put this on the ballot when it was illegal to do so. Good faith is not doing all the above.

Governor Abigail Spanberger
The Supreme Court of the United States has now joined the Supreme Court of Virginia in choosing to nullify an election and the votes of more than three million Virginians. These Virginians made their voices heard — casting their ballots in good faith to push back against a President who said he’s “entitled” to more seats in Congress before voters go to the polls. As Governor, I will make sure voters know when and how to cast their votes this year. Because our votes are how we choose the representation we deserve.

🚨 WTF?! Exactly *ZERO* Senate Democrats showed up to the bombshell CIA whistleblower testimony regarding Dr. Fauci's COVID coverup They're ditching it because they KNOW it's a real scandal! SEN. RUBEN GALLEGO walked by, joking, "what's going on here?" "The empty seats of Democrats. Look at that room." They LOVE lying to the American people.

I am excited to announce that I will be chairing a new House Oversight Committee Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses. This new effort will investigate and expose government agencies, non-profits, and other institutions that are defrauding taxpayers, abusing our immigration system, engaging in illegal discrimination, and trampling on our constitutional rights. Our first target: Medicaid fraud in Ohio.

@collector075 @destrodesigns Line prob has a few years left and then they decide to reset to next gen figures/sculpts/tech etc or just end it. They could outsource but have to wonder the interests especially with so many 'outgrowing' collecting again like as a kid.

@destrodesigns Hasbro is struggling & I thought these guys said that they’d consider licensing off the IP . I’m concerned about the classified line after these two guys left . Maybe they shave a few more figs doen the pipeline but I wouldn’t mind if Hasbro let another co use the Joe license

My uninformed answer is no, unless this was planned by all parties, Hasbro, BFS, Lenny and Tony. If my two best guys left to go to another company, then that same company asked for the rights to my stuff so the stolen guys can work on it, I would emphatically say "Get Fucked"

@destrodesigns Is Boss Fight in position to buy the Joe license and produce figures? Playmates is doing Power Rangers and the amount of Offical 3rd party Transformers stuff is crazy.

Last one out turn the lights off! #GIJoeClassified has been a excellent line and fortunately they've either produced or are likely to release in the next 18 months or so most of the characters I wanted but it'll be interesting to see how it progresses with both Lenny & Tony gone.

@robbystarbuck @derrickvanorden @DerekM121 This has been going on for decades not sure where you guys have been. It should’ve stopped a long time ago almost every DEI/MO contract like this sub down to a subcontractor and they just take a cut of it off the top. They are fleecing taxpayers and enriching themselves.

This isn’t something to be proud of. If she is just subcontracting every job with no experience in that field… How is this not just fleecing taxpayers? The hundreds of thousands she pockets is unnecessary to get the work done. She likely "won" many of these bids due to DEI too.
Chris Koerner@mhp_guy

Meet Natalie. She makes six figures a year working one to two hours a week. She has no experience in hazardous waste disposal. No experience in landscaping. No experience in catering. But she won contracts in all three industries. Her first deal netted her $800 profit per pickup over five years. That's $10,000 net profit every year for making a few phone calls and submitting one proposal. Her second contract paid her $11,000 profit in two weeks. Her largest contract was $962,000 over five years. Her subcontractor charged her $700,000. She pocketed $262,000 for work she doesn't even do. What is it? Government contracting. She bids on jobs on sam . gov, finds subcontractors to do the actual work, and captures the spread between what the government pays her and what she pays her subs. The government is legally required to spend money with small businesses. You don't need experience. You don't even need money. You just need an LLC and an internet connection. In this episode Natalie: - Breaks down how she won her first contract bidding on something she'd never heard of - Shows me the exact AI prompts she uses to analyze 20-page government solicitations - Tells me why contracts under $350K don't require any past performance - Gives me the playbook for finding hungry subcontractors who actually deliver Why aren't more people doing this?

@robbystarbuck Been saying for decades it needs to stop. Almost all minority owned businesses with gov contracts do this and become middle man. Issue then becomes almost all minority own businesses go out of business and then resort to other means to survive

@EnergonStudios I think there's fatigue in many lines across all toy brands. JOE's have done most of what people want from the golden years of '82 - '86. With costs, space, amounts, lots are getting out or reevaluating what they collect. I think we have 1-2 years left of classified then new line

@HordakGrim @LylesMovieFiles Agreed they are probably going to get into that stuff OR they are going to start a military line with Boss Fight which I think could be more likely. Try to pull some JOE collectors that are ready for something new.

As for the overproduction, it's hurting the hobby. Every local person I know that collects has basically moved to the deep discount mode because everything is overproduced, which continues to put downward pressure on the lines/hobby.

@HansMahncke The @WhiteHouse needs to dismantle the Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria federal workforce and purge the non-essential workers. It would absolutely change these areas back to red. It's a jobs program for DEMs basically with out of reality salaries and benefits.

I do not think people outside politics fully understand how insane what Virginia Democrats did actually was. They redrew the map so that five congressional districts effectively originate in Fairfax, which is packed with left wing government workers, and then stretch outward across the state like tentacles.

Sean Davis@seanmdav

Hard to overstate how much Virginia’s insanity, led by Democrat Louise Lucas, pushed multiple red states to redistrict. The Callais decision from SCOTUS was obviously important, but by itself it wouldn’t have led to TN or AL redistricting. The insanely corrupt Democrat overreach in Virginia is what tipped the scales for a lot of red state Republican legislators who were on the fence.

@MakeTexasBlue22 @GavinNewsom No, that's what happened here in VA. They tried to ram this through and broke various constitutional laws in doing so, from this actually being brought forth, the ballot language, etc. Stop whining when you got slapped down for doing what you are suggesting by rushing things.

@GavinNewsom Incorrect. The constituents voted for their State Representatives and Senators who voted in their interests. You don't need a general ballot for every issue.

@BillMelugin_ 10-1 is not shocking at all. It was never constitutional. When you don't live in reality, everything is SHOCKING when the adults take charge again.

At my store, the entire Stranger Things display is gone and I was told that it was most likely going to a "clearance warehouse" as there was a large number of unsold items and they didn't think in store clearance was effective.

@elonmusk @MarioNawfal Hamill became the very thing he sword to destroy. He's got one of the worst cases of TDS out there. It's amazing that before he ran, Trump was loved by almost everyone in Hollywood. Hamill should try to come back to the light & arrange a meeting with him.

🇺🇸 Star Wars actor Mark Hamill posted “if only” with an image of Trump, dead in a grave… unbelievable Obi-Wan Kenobi once said to Luke Skywalker: “Don’t give in to hate. That leads to the dark side.” Seems Luke did not listen.
