"Price for this figure is $70, for time and energy". This is the type of offer that a collector can usually read for a figure that cost $29,99 at retail.

 

BREAKING NEWS:

"TIME AND ENERGY", A NEW TAX FROM UNASSUMED SCALPERS ?!

"Price for this figure is $70, for time and energy". This is the type of offer that a collector can usually read for a figure that cost $29,99 at retail. Those offers generally come with a disclaimer saying that they are not scalpers.

What is "time and energy", you ask? It's the time and energy used by a person driving to the supermarket, where they were going to because they needed groceries anyway, and they happened to stumble upon one of the popular toys that everybody wants, by accident.

ToyFarce News asked mathemacians and experts to try to uncover the truth behind this "time and energy" tax that so many have been adding to inflate their prices, and this is the answer that was given to us, unanimously:

"Time and energy means nothing, they're just scalpers".

We hope that it helped fellow collectors to understand the intricacies behind it.

HELL HAS FROZEN OVER: DC DIRECT BUYS MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES ?!

It has been a crazy week for all the comic book fans!

BREAKING NEWS:

HELL HAS FROZEN OVER:
DC DIRECT BUYS MARVEL LEGENDS SERIES ?!


It has been a crazy week for all the comic book fans. First, Dan Didio, co-publisher of DC Comics was removed from his place by Warner Bros/DC Comics. A few days later, the CEO of Disney (who owns Marvel), Bob Iger stepped down from his position. It didn't take long before rumors started to spread that Warner would try to sell DC Comics, and that Disney and Marvel might take over DC! There is even words about an eventual merging of the Big 2! Imagine Batman and Spider-Man sharing a same multiverse!

But in a plot twist that nobody saw coming, it seems that the legendary line of action figures from Hasbro, the Marvel Legends Series has been bought by DC Direct (formerly known as DC Collectibles)!

DC Direct plans to rename the line 'Marvel Essentials' to go with their 'DC Essentials' line, and plans to sell them without any accessories or extra hands, just like their DC figures. "They are called Essentials, so that is what you really get: barely the essentials to be called an action figure." said a long time DC Direct/Collectibles employee.

Additionally, they might eventually give a try to the Build-a-Figure model with their DC Essentials line, which has always been a ploy to sell people characters that nobody wants if it wasn't for that 'left leg part' from a character that people actually want. Be ready to have more extra heads, legs and torsos to throw in a drawer!

We, at ToyFarce News, sincerely hope that this rumor about a merging is true and hope that DC and Marvel will continue telling stories in comic book form until the end of times (so, in about 7-8 years.)
