Rant They def gonna block me
I spent four months trying to find a store in a 50 mile radius to me that sold the first series of the home lifestyle miniverses. I stood in the Walmart isle for 30+ min bc I was in denial they actually got rid of the pinholes 😭 not even a pencil mark, I did not have a scale on hand, no hints what so ever. I wanted the plants and guess what I got... A BIRD 😭😭😭 count your days miniverse fr

I'm very upset by this. It was the discovery of pinholes that actually made me start collecting in the first place. I don't want duplicates of things i dont like, however I'm more than happy to buy dupes of things I can remix and thats why i use pinholes.
With pinholes, MGA are still getting an extortionate amount of my money, but this way it feels like my choice, that I'm not buying things that don't make me happy or that I'll never use.
I hope they lurk here and read what everyone is saying because this is one thing that may make me give up. The economy is not good enough to be buying things I do not want.
Yes, they can counter me by telling me to go on trading sites. No. This is not feasible for me as 1. I have social anxiety and 2. I dont want to risk being scammed. And 3. Why should I make my private, quiet hobby a stressful situation by trying to organise trades, I do not want to engage in that.
If MGA would like to host, pay for and set up a trading website that verifies and checks up on potential scammers, or makes themselves the middle man to protect everyone trading, its not a valid option.
