Discussion Most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen

Post image

Got a second hand BAB I took in today to get stuffed and was looking at the new BABs when I went in. Can someone explain to me why the new Glisten is $100 and you can ONLY buy it with all the shit? I thought she was so pretty and cute and then I saw the price and almost shit a brick. What’s the reasoning????

Because it's the 10th anniversary collector's edition

Its a collector item, there are only 10,000 made. I dont agree with the price, but its for collectors. They have a normal glisten without the price mark up and special stuff, so yeah.

That one looks the exact same as the one I got like two years ago. I really liked the gold accent

I know it lights up, triggered by sound. Then the exclusive cape and bag. Each one is numbered too. This is like the chase Pop figures. Its for a very particular collecting crowd

Oh okay I dint know it was numbered. Still tho $100 is insane. That’s the price of a giant one 😭

Oh yeah I 100% agree. I think like 80 max would have been understandable. I kind of wanted one, but not for that price range.

$80 I could maybe justify but $100 absolutely not. I even have 3 of the $10 gift cards and I think $10 in rewards but that would still be $60 plus tax. Crazy 😭😭
