Tbf I think they have gone about this very well. Bendies are possibly the worst type of figures to go about doing - everyone is a brand new mould which is where a huge amount of cost is, the packaging looks great - a modern take on a retro design with the removable / replaceable bubble. They have been honest about the reason why it’s sold as a full set. They have done unexpectedly good talent on the like danhausen etc. The my world set was inspired. Honestly I think they’ve done a great job Very cool man and again as my above post pointed out your take and mine are very different and that’s ok I can respect yours. Again not being a listener of the pod I would be interested to hear the reasoning behind them being sold as a set of you like to share what that is. Thanks. Quite simply some will be in more demand than others and with minimum orders needed they can’t sit with the less desirable figures in hand. They’re not doing an unlimited pre-order as they don’t want to take cash then sit on people’s money waiting for them to be made so they’ll ship pretty quick after pay from what I gathered. For the figs they’re doing I think it’s a pretty sound business model and fair too |

Nit everyone can drop one or two hundred for a set that you might only want 1 figure from. |

I think Bendies apply to a certain collector also and won’t have universal appeal so quite a few of those who would be interested would (I imagine) pick up a full set with Jeff being the exception since he fits in the original bendies timeline |

Nit everyone can drop one or two hundred for a set that you might only want 1 figure from. Yeah, it definitely will. But, in saying that, it will actually do wonders for guys not committing to the full set that just want 1. If you buy a full set wanting 3 and selling 1, then the eBay/aftermarket world will be flooded with singles, so if you want 1 it'd be easier to attain. I think that will do well for it's audience, I just want Adam Bomb and I'll have to go on eBay when it comes out so unfortunately for me, but fortunately for the line going forward, the price will be high/go up and then the line will be more widely known and in demand. That's a good thing for the makers of the line, and it's one of those things that'll make the collectability go up. |

Did anyone follow the OG Bendems prototype ring with Dink figure that was on the 'Bay over the weekend? I assume Broski bought it.

Don’t think so as the pod account (which they don’t directly run anymore I don’t believe?) asked the question Tbf I think the way they’ve done these bendies had been really well done from announcing to production - they have actual samples for finished product all ok’d and ready to go - other lines are only having the metal mould produced despite announcing the line months before |

Their Xmas specials are really good imo |

Tell you what I'm starting to get sick off though, all these paid advertisements in the creators video's. I get why it's done, but honestly if I see one more add for a VPN I'm throwing a tantrum! haha. |

How does this work? How does YouTube put in all these ads if creators don't want them -- and more important, how are creators able to edit them out?

eBay get revenue from ads Ebay want as many ads as possible to maximise revenue A % of the ads goes to the YouTube creators However there’s lots of criteria to meet to even start earning That’s for the add which pop up every few mins. The ads read in the video are obviously between the company advertising and the video creator - nothing to do either YouTube Video creators can change all sorts of things - they can chose if it’s wn ad which lets you skip or not, if it’s a long or short ad, if it’s 1,2 or 3 etc |

Then I wish Major Pod would choose less ads. It's a reason I stopped watching their videos. They just have way too many now...

Just get YouTube premium you'll never look back I watch YouTube primarily for my TV watching (and twitch but that’s even worse at times), but I’m seriously considering it. I’m getting sick of ads run every 5 minutes, it’s so off putting to the point that I’m giving up on videos I am actually interested in because it’s annoying me. |
