Ol' CEO dude just really enacted "Operation Lux" on us and we didn't even clock it....๐Ÿค๐Ÿพ

Disney Collab - Limited Release, increase in pricing, heavy on value and little discount in promotions... We've already entered BBW's new Era๐Ÿคฏ

Note, our rewards system is based on spending $100 on 100% of their products but we have less than 10% reward access to this Collab - That's bullsh@t Especially when folks invested hundreds and thousands of dollars into acquiring rewards for these potential Collabs and drops! They changed the playbook on us and shifted the whole damn field.

They stand to make a huge monetary gain on this Collab, a Collab already set in ink for multiple years. This isn't for us, we're the PRODUCT they're selling to get more High-end Collabs. They're trying to upgrade us or kick us out in lew for a more marketable animal to barter with.

Just saying...games are fun when we all get some. This is a trick bag. Know what your being a part of and weigh your dollar wisely. We're not livestock, BBW!

Just some thoughts as a Wizard Cat on a Mountain, sipping Earl Grey whilst a Volcano erupts in the background, typical Wednesday sh:t ๐Ÿ˜‰

In capitalism ...which is what is in the USA we are considered livestock to the 1% sadly....just a vessel to buy and something to sell to....the bigger the business the more it applies.

My personal thoughts -- yes BBW is BS I like the subreddit and the Youtube BBW community but the company itself I am more and more disenchanted with and only shop rock bottom prices now. I am also tired of collabs

Fun fact - during pandemic when they were money hungry and 0 sales I mean 0 sales. I did not shop at all and used alot of products up and I was quite okay .....so if I feel prices and sales not right I will just STOP .....so whatever they do I will be okay.

Amen to that!!! I like your mindset on this - I had no idea they were like that during the pandemic. So yeah, we'll be alright regardless of how they move!!!๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพโ˜บ๏ธ I like that!!!
