PLEASE READ THIS POST!
For the past few months, I have been on the hunt for Basic 48 Brie Bella. I have posted about it numerous times and have been greeted with high-ball sales offers of $30-$45 on more occasions than I can count on my two hands. While I am not keen on paying more than double a figure's retail price, I decided to kindly decline these offers and hope to find Brie in store.
Just yesterday morning, a complete stranger on this board messaged me telling me he found a Brie and picked it up for me. I was very gracious and asked how much he was looking to get for it. To my surprise, this member (who will remain anonymous), told me it was free of charge and that he'd be shipping it to me immediately. His only request was that I pay it forward and perform a selfless act for someone else in return. This shocked me as I have never been on the receiving end of such selflessness.
Needless to say, this selfless act has brightened an otherwise very tough week seeing as my area was hit with a bad storm which left some in the area without power for 6+ days, uninhabitable homes and shattered windows. My house alone had 2 trees fall on cars and siding damage, but that is besides the point... I have been touched by this experience and plan on practicing the act of giving in my own life. I encourage you all to think about this and possibly do the same. It does not mean you have to buy figures and send them to someone for free. It can be as simple as taking time to help another in need.
I cannot thank this member enough and I hope good karma comes his way!
Also, here is a picture of the Brie he sent me. Super stoked to have this. I know a lot of people weren't a fan of this figure, but it just jumped to being one of my top favorites!
