Loot Crate files for bankrutcy

Hopefully the era of stupid geek collectibles is coming to an end. I see Gamestops pushing stupid overpriced statues and Funko Pops more than games now in some locations.

Yeah I never understood any of that crap. Why would I pay for boxes of random crap each month.

I did it once during the buzz in 2014 when a lot of YouTubers were pushing it. Felt ripped off. Never again.

It would've been a different story if you had the ability to pick what you like of each category.

I'm a massive nerd, but some of the shite on there screams loser.

I canceled all my online scrips except my sock one.

It's mostly just junk for $10bucks.

I got loot anime a few times. It started off decent and quickly declined. Not to mention they would often have shipment delays, not include promised items, etc.

Not surprised they went under.

What an odd thing to be triggered about....


Not sure how the collectibles are affecting you but no one is forcing you to buy them or anything...

GameStop should go the way of selling hardware. Imagine GameStop as an Amazon or Newegg type company. They already sell consoles. Now they should offer GPUs, CPUs, RAM, Coolers, etc.

Can you imagine having a walk-in type store where you could "trade-in" a graphics card for an upgrade every year? They'd definitely have to evaluate their trade-in values for this though to make it worth it for the consumer.

They're just vinyl figures. I have Master Chief and the Arbiter next to my computer.

But yeah, they don't do anything but sit there. It's just something to accent my desk.

"we will give you $5 for last generations gpu"

Trade ins at GameStop were by far the worst value in the store.

The only thing it was good for was buying a used game when they ran a promo. Then you could get a decent price.
