Yes, Chris spat in all of our faces for doing something...actually kind of reasonable for money for once. Conventions are expensive things and I'm guessing due to the financial situation of the Chandlers, Chris can't just bankroll this on existing credit as he did in the past, so he's actually putting up stuff he's willing to part with in order for a greater reward.

He wasn't entirely good about it - there still was ulterior motive about selling Cole's shit because he's been trying to be subtle about wanting Cole to take responsibility for their mother's care for years - but we're talking about a mentally exceptional man who is on the record for begging for money in a room full of expensive toys. He's gotten to the point where he is selling those toys. It implies that maybe he's actually started to understand the value of money.

He's still going about it in the most autistic way possible but it's still progress no matter how minimal.



I suspect that him trying to bankroll Bronycon through this manner is a sign that the Chandler finances are too tight compared to last year. Which is saying a lot, frankly.



A poor condition Cybertron Leader Galvatron, missing parts, a lot of tarnish, and signed in his name after it was explicitly pointed out to him that kind of shit is stupid and devalues the toy - Chris got the message when it comes to vintage figures, but nobody wants his signature on toys of ANY kind.

Also Leader Galvatron retailed in 2006 for like, $40 (this was before the great price hikes of 2010).

I disagree, people buying these aren't look for mint condition collector pieces, they want something of Chris Chan's. His signature adds value to that. Nobody is buying Chris's shit cause it's a good investment.

Ahahah, oh fuck, that's amazing.

Chris hit that one out of the park. "Pleeease! pleeeeeeese! I might not be able to fart around with neckbeard bronies in an expensive hotel room for a weekend!"

Chris will try to borrow money from friends, or mooch off any of them that want to go, or ultimately if he can't pull any of those off, he'll try to sleep in his car. He wanted to do that for magfest a few years ago.

I want Chris to go, but I want him to just barely scrape by in paying for it. (And hopefully not by leaning on his friends.)

That may work with $10 items, but if he wants to make more than that, he has to make it himself. The medallions, commissioned art and the totem are a whole different class of thing than autographed stuff from the hoard.

:story::story::story:

And here we were all speculating about mortgages, payday loans, trespassing fines, some people even brought up loan sharks!

But ultimately, it was fucking BronyCon lmfao.

I applaud Chris's moderate personal growth in thinking of his commitments 1st, and in selling his toys rather than outright begging for money, but I still legit laughed out loud at this. Chris is still the same hilarious beast we all know and love.

I personally look forward to the combination of gopnik hat/pony get up he will wear of he gets there.

Would be interesting if he gets to work there, bronies can't say no, it's all about love and tolerance right?

I think it'd be funnier if he couldn't go. We'd have more of a chance of getting a chimpout video or him doing something again.

Why do people believe in this mythical chimp out video phenomenon?

Is it incorrect to say that the only 100% genuine chimp out vids were the "THAT IS MY HOUSE!" and the post Jessica curse video?

I'd need to go over the history, but there's very few of them and he got burnt out pretty early on in the trolling.

We have fun exceptions once in awhile, but betting on chimp out videos is the tard lottery. Chris going is much more predictably funny.

Would a more realistic expectation be "let's hope he spends a whole week posting passive aggressive tweets where he bitches about not getting to go and people not buying his crap"? People might be down to see that.

What would I do without you?! It doesn’t look too bad, I don’t see any obvious gloss rubs, the play wear is considerable though. Maybe it wasn’t a sharpie and some shit crayola marker that actually DOES wash off. I’m impressed he updated his photos.

You'll have to forgive me, I don't know transformers, but I do know cleaning second hand crap working in a pawn shop. That cassette looking one. That looks washed. You can see the swish on the left hand side. Considering the lightness of it, I'm guessing it was some washable markers.

And yeah, maybe people calm down. It's Chris. He does dumb shit.

On one hand Chris is willing to part with personal property to fund a personal want/need.

On the other it's the bottom of the barrel shit or incredibly overpriced piece of nostalgia.

Settle in for a rant kiddos.
This shit started with the totem and has only escalated to the point where Chris is convinced anything that so much as grazed his hands is worth whatever amount he attaches to it. 10000$ for a WalMart quality class ring? His ratty, mold eaten shirt?
This might not be a popular opinion but anyone that bought an amiibo, necklace or piece of art is totes in the clear for paying Chris in my eyes; they wanted a piece of Christory and Chris had to actually work in order to get paid. It reflected his personality perfectly as well because as work started bogging him down he completely gave up and bailed on his responsibilities. Making Chris earn money is on a different level then just him slapping his name on an old broken toy or actual garbage and calling it a day; can you really call it a piece of Christory if the amount of effort it took to 'Christify' was a sloppy signature written with a marker?
It's fun watching him flounder now, desperately digging through the bargain bin of his life in order to scrape up cash to do things he wants to do. If Chris is willing to work for his precious toy/game/food fund that's one thing...if you're gonna buy a piece of shit old ass stamp book or school papers there's something fucked up about that.
It's been said plenty of times before but it bears repeating; Don't give Chris money. You won't be seen as a hero, no one's impressed and chances are you're gonna get mocked.

Nah, man. I don't buy the bronycon thing. It's just a sales ploy.
The way he words it, like "don't all my fans want see and meet me, their beloved Christine, there? Here's how!". He's in deep on some real world bills and he's wracking his autistic, narcissistic brain on how to get this crap sold. To him, depriving fans of his presence should be enough to get the money rolling. He's always done this shit, going back to his "everyone do as I say or no more comic! And we all know you don't want that!"


lol also niggas got court in like 3 weeks
