That looks like a fine plump boi what has he ever done to you that you compare him to Patrick? That is very unkind of you.

Not fair to this adorable and absolute unit of a frog, child.

Anyone actually bother to read fatrick's novels? I cracked open In The Black out of curiosity and it doesn't feel like a novel. It reads like a crappy fanfiction.

It wasn't a painful slog, it was just... cheap. It's the same experience as watching a low budget youtube film project but in literary form

Objection! Frogs are cute. Even if Pat was on a lily pad and all he had to do was eat bugs and chill out, he'd still find a way to fuck it up.

She took his fucking star wars comic books in the divorce. Rib status: shattered.

Divorce hack: you get half, so take half. Even if it's stuff you don't care about. Even if it's stuff you hate seeing around, or stuff that has no value to you. Take half and have a yard sale.

Most people are aware that there are collectors comic books which sell for large sums to the right buyers.

Yup. People hear that an Action Comics #1 sold for six million at auction, so they think that all comics are worth something.
Star Wars collectors have always valued the toys more than the comics.

Spoiler: Take my Lunch Money

Star Wars collecting is also in a wierd place right now where a lot of people are starting to age out of it. Pokémon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Bionicle and other properties from the 90s/00s are starting to see growing collectors markets, because that generation is now the one with nostalgia and money.
Kenner Star Wars toys are valuable collectors items because they're very rare. No one in 1977 expected Star Wars to be a hit, so barely any Kenner toys were produced, and a lot of the ones that were produced got destroyed by happy late-70s children. Prequel and Disney-Era Star Wars stuff is worth way less because there's way more of it, not just because the movies weren't as good. Disney has the production power to make as much of a thing as they want, so there's no scarcity, so prices are lower. Disney has been trying to cash in on engineered scarcity recently, but it's never quite the same as the real thing. The most valuable Star Wars comics are the variant cover ones, cause those are more rare. A lot of the Star Wars comics, even the older ones, only go for like 10 or 20 bucks. They just don't have the rarity that leads to higher perceived value.

Collectibles only work when people don't expect them to be worth anything as a collectible - or in other words, it's stuff that kids/teens play with that nobody cares about that becomes subject to nostalgia later.

And even then, if it's not super rare AND super famous AND super unexpected, it really only goes up in value "somewhat". Never buy anything based on it being worth more in the future.

 

[Chirping Smoke Detector]

Full set of 18 issues ungraded is like $80cad or $65usd, cheaper if you avoid Ebay. Like most comics after the 90's they're not worth that much. Only time a modern comic is valuable is when you have variant covers but there's so many out there that even that ruins the prices. It doesn't help that Legacy wasn't very popular because Cade is a terrible Skywalker.

Star Wars Legacy values have picked up since a lot of the early issues have 1st appearances people are banking on seeing in whatever the next Star Wars slop movie comes out. The first 3 issues are like $45 just for those. Not huge amounts but more than cover price. And not to get too autistic about modern comics but there are plenty that are valuable, even if they aren't variants. Those also tend to be 1st appearances.

This just isn't true. There was so much demand for the toys they sold a cardboard standee with pictures of the toys printed on it you could buy before the toys even came out so you got something before the toys were available. The figures went through multiple waves of production.

That's enough autism about collectibles. Patrick is a fat retard.

But does he have bitch tits? Sir, please, my dying child needs to know if he has, or doesn't have bitch tits, its the only way the doctors said he can beat the cancer.

Legacy is from Dark Horse, they're not worth much. They were also released in the mid 2000's. Nearly a decade before the movies were released. Legacy was also one of the worst selling books for Star War Saga.

Doesn't help that they weren't made that well so finding anything back than still in good condition is pretty hard. I remember how bad some of the paint was and rubbing off.

Weren't those comics that basically said lmao the Empire is actually a good thing?

I'm just telling you what comic people are doing. They did release before the movies but since Hollywood is a creatively bankrupt enterprise they pull ideas from somewhere else. So when they put Cade Skywalker or Darth whoever that first appeared in a Legacy comic, comic people go crazy cause they gotta get that 1st appearance. It's happened for just about every Marvel or DC character that gets put into a movie (unless it's like Superman or Batman).

Yes, the Imperial Remnant became the Fel Empire. Personally, I'd take an Empire over a Republic.

If you add the pit stains and the smell of rotten milk and BO you'd have the typical MtG player that no one wants at the store and also hits on any random girl that shows up to play no matter the age.

his compulsion to have the last word will destroy him if fatposting really catches on beyond kf and ona-- which may be in the early stages of happening. if he gets to the slightly more mainstream point a few other lolcows have where there are randos holding up signs about them at sporting events etc, fatrick's thumbs will melt off. even at the astounding xeet-pace he's shown in the past, he will be unable to keep childing every xeeter

This thread is a safe space for us mouthbreathers cause we can take a break from discussing Star Wars minutiae, look at Patrick, and go "hey, at least I'm not THAT guy".

Patrick should really clean his face so he doesn't look like a pig all of the time. It's so greasy and potmarked.
