The Deals Weren’t Hitting This Year

[@demetricsmith471]

I feel u on the quality, UNC.

[@demetricsmith471]

Most of the good figures from Hasbro, Mattel and McFarlane were NOT available at retail stores in 2024. The most wanted items by far were exclusive to online purchases ONLY!😢

[@DrugTalkTV]

Yeah, I'm pulling back from collecting or waiting on sales, and there are tons of Marvel Legends and GI Joe Classified that are getting fairly old in times since delivered and no discounts or trying to move them out. Those that were actually finding decent crap at Ollie's or Ross I am envious as the KC market was crap for their toy offerings.

[@dennisbalch2217]

It's getting damned near impossible to find a McFarlane toy at a reasonable price. I'm almost done. Mcfarlanes distribution blows.

[@e.j.o.3991]

Maybe it’s your area. His prices are down to $20-23 for a lot of his figures. Plenty in my area, except for Warhammer, which is a pain in the ass to find ! And it’s my favorite stuff to buy from him 😢😂

[@sunman1235]

They ain't playin no more fam. Mass production is over. They just puttin out what ppl buy. No more excess for deals.

[@kernsanders3973]

Figure collecting has been on life support in my area since the global pandemic. The prices went up with no sales what so ever. Individual sellers, no more retails. And they super over charge. If I want to buy anything, have to import it myself and the prices to import stuff went crazy. Love your collection

[@nickwilliams1714]

I’m hear you Unc! This world is insane

[@genx7006]

Unc, did not expect you to drop a video this early!

[@renevaldez5717]

Man you guys are right this Xmas sucks. 😫😫😫😫

[@Roland-v4x]

I can't blame my particular Walmart or target but they have a lot of one or two figures and didn't restock anything after black friday

[@prymetyme2171]

This is comical.

[@Reptoidvenom]

In my city there was a 10% off sign for the first 20 people in line for electronics, what a joke. Also I live in a cold ass climate. Definitely no time for that crap

[@KingJamesP5310]

You’re right but still I’ve never seen anyone complain because they spent less money that last couple of years. 😂 Or ranting about taxes/shipping cost on preordering or online shopping where you’re guaranteed the figure vs wasting gas driving around & coming up short?! C’mon fam what’s really going on?! 😂

[@ericchan5055]

No video games deals. Only thing I bought on Black Friday was boxers

[@deancolbird2240]

Preach It Unc Tim

[@andrewunderhill1260]

I've only been getting Hotwheels and Wonder Woman comics, so I've done good.

[@richardgarcia9075]

Was a Walmart earlier no sales no deals same shit sitting full price shit even the clearance is full price They can keep it 💯 I'll keep my wallet 😤

[@BumblebeeTuna8]

This Year sucked.

[@felipelovecraft1767]

Pretty much the whole year has been a giant dumpster fire.

[@williams8953]

25 dollars a figure at target is crazy

[@e.j.o.3991]

Not a lot of great deals before Xmas, in the stores. But NECA had some really good deals online. 5 for $100 was great and I can’t wait to get our horror mystery box!! I did find a LOT of gold label and platinum McFARLANE in the stores tho! & he has a big discount sale going on now, at the online store

[@teeveeparty]

It'll never be as good as post-pandemic ever again.

[@goatcity2266]

Ever go to thrift stores? I've found some nice vintage stuff here and there.

[@chrisoliver2]

Yeah Ross and Ollie's I don't consider cheap cheap anymore they've gone up on price in almost everything which are still good deals for the most part but not like it was last year

[@floydforthought9998]

I got a second chance to pick up Transformers ROTB Battletrap at Ross. A deal for what it goes for on second hand market.

[@robertsinfiniterealms1308]

I got some MOTU from BBTS clearance, and Ollies had some deals for me, but past that I agree.

[@jamesdavis5555]

It sucks I been mostly using eBay cause most lines I hung they are almost all discontinued so I have to buy second hand got into collecting to late

[@IntheL1ght]

It's like since pre-orders, there has never been a decent sale on figures since. I was lucky to find Battletrap from Rotb on ebay for its regular store price. Gone are the days when you walk around the corner of a Target ailse and find a clearence half price Armada Unicron.

[@FigFinder78]

It was pretty weak this year 💯

[@Woodstocks]

Even the hot wheels were kind of disappointing this season

[@tombowling8646]

Maybe it depends on your area. I didn't get to Ross this holiday season but I did visit Ollie's a number of times. I thought the deals were good there. I got a few Marvel Legends at great prices. I got Elvis MODOK for $29.99. I got Joe Fixit for $14.99. I got Spider-Woman and the High Evolutionary for $9.99 a piece. I was pretty satisfied.

[@MIRLZY]

Loll you must've not been hitting Ross

[@jamesdavis5555]

My girlfriend actually got me into collecting I had a few figure but she bought me one last Christmas and something clicked and we collect together

[@joseortega7815]

Ringside Collectibles really let me down this year. A couple of years ago, they had really good WWE figures for $3.99 to $5.99. I bought like 12 figures from them. But this year, the only figures priced that low were either old AEW or the new bendies (which I'm not looking for). BBTS had some deals, but again, mostly old stock of Legends or DC Multiverse that no one is looking for. We want the good figures on sale. But they ain't trying to put them up for the low.

[@gordonsisk9814]

Did you ever get the coveted question action figure?

[@uncletimrantingsreviews]

No lol

[@gordonsisk9814]

I know how you like to take action figures out of a box but if you manage to find that one don’t take it out of a box

[@ErikSkovgaard52]

​@@gordonsisk9814 why?

[@gordonsisk9814]

@@ErikSkovgaard52 I think its really nice is all

[@1marvelfan707]

i found none, even ross had ml figures but were priced 12.99, non of them sold,lol, last year were 5.99

[@mariusbabii]

ucle Tim, here's my secret, i only buy from toy companies like Mattel and bbts, only on christmas even amazon,.....because of the great lowwwwwww prices, but during the year I shop, ROSS/ BURLINGTON/TJ MAXX,...GOODWILL/ SWAP MEET,...so I shared a secret to saving money,....you cool dude,.......marius(punk rules).

[@wolfmansgotnardz8000]

The only decent figure I found at Ross was the Skywarp G1 TF86 movie reissue for $10.

[@ghostdestron]

And that shit ain't even decent

[@Mmantis]

your area probably got hit with scalpers more .. I seen a dude load a cart full of figs at ollies 😂

[@ghostdestron]

All trash no-one actually wants

[@FadedHolySoldier]

Little lego mini figures are like 6 to 7 bucks each!!! I dont have the funds for it. I only collect pokemon cards
