😭 🥀 God I wish I had gotten more of those novelty homewares while I still could. I’m an adult, I accept I need a laundry basket… but nobody else would’ve sold me a collapsible radioactive waste barrel.
I enjoyed the ‘bloody handprint’ shower curtain, but by the time I had enough money to get such items as yhr matching bloody-footprint bathmat with intention, ThG was gone for good.
a few weeks ago I went into a Gamestop just to see what’s new, I hadn’t been in one for a long time. Holy crap their stuff is way overpriced. I looked at the Gunpla kits and the prices even for old High Grades were insane. They had Master Grades for nearly $200. It’s cheaper to just import the stuff directly from Japan. And the games sections were slim to none. I was also the only one in there at the time. I honestly don’t know how this company is still going. who buys that crap?
Let me know where you find master grades shipped from Japan for less than $200 lol. Not defending GameStop but everything in this comment is a gross exaggeration. I was in a GameStop last week and half the store is games and peripherals just like it has been for years. Sure that means half the store is stuffed animals and trading cards, but “slim to none”? Why lie about this? It’s weird
If you think that’s cheap you should check the prices at GameStop. Just found one for $25 lol. I want to smoke what you’re smoking. Don’t be so mad. It’s just Gundam models
To be fair, GameStop has essentially become an overpriced merch retailer.
I’m honestly surprised they haven’t merged with Hot Topic.
They did buy out ThinkGeek, so… very close.

I miss thinkgeek too! 😑
ThinkGeek used to be so awesome man. I really wish I had held onto more of that stuff.
I still miss the ThinkGeek of old, back before they even had stores.
They have stores?
they did briefly in the late-2010’s. They only sold the most kitschy mass-produced items.
GameStop beat out Hot Topic in bidding for ThinkGreek, with a winning bid of $20/share compared to Hot Topic’s bid of $17.50

So that’s where that went.
I never bought anything but it was fun seeing the items
