Why are these things big in britbong land? Is there a huge amount of normalfag "geeks" there?
Still kudos to them, making money off wanna-be "in" idiots.
>>335912424
Erm, they're not big?
Never heard anybody mention them, I don't know anybody who buys them and they're not advertised anywhere.
Who told you they were popular?
>>335912627
not the brand, just the concept of grab bag catered to "us gamers huh"
>he doesn't subscribe to Dorkcube
Lootcrate seems to profit the most
>>335912697
They're a gimmick that normal people have no idea about.
More than likely only bought by progressive hipster cunts who populate our unis nowadays.
>>335912904
aren't college students generally the "us gamers" normalfag geeks anyway?
>>335912940
Well, not really during my time there. But in my final year there was some kind of student council election and prospective members had tables set up around campus; one in particular caught my eye as it was completely covered in reddit memes and people around it shouting 'me Gusta'.
That was 4 years ago, so it's probably worse now. Which means you're probably right.
>>335912424
Why would buy shit like this? I cringe everytime I hear about a "true geek" who spends his money on a box filled with all sorts of normie crap.
>>335912424
Well Fifa, UFC and Wrestlan games sell big here. so yeah most Brits are casuals.
But what you posted is just normies since it has absolutely nothing to do with video games.

they're still selling trollface
>>335913467
they have a video-game specific grab bag line, forgot the name though
MOST of those create things are a scam. It's just useless junk that didn't sell. So they buy them in bulk for mad cheap and then stuff it into these shitty crates.
Only paid youtubbers ever get the good items while everyone else who brought a crate get suckered into shitty crap.
>>335914536
Wait, so the stuff video makers get are different from the ones actually given to regular subscribers?
>>335914536
Is that Robbaz?
>>335914632
>Wait, so the stuff video makers get are different from the ones actually given to regular subscribers?
Most of the time, yes it's different from what youtubers get. Youtubbers get the good shit so they can promote the fuck out of the crate and get suckers to buy it.
>>335914536
they are a huge scam, the most popular one lootcrate, they design everything in-house or higher some unknown deviantart faggot to draw something
then they send it off to one of those shitty chinese print companies like vista print, which is why they give out stuff like stickers, shot glasses with a slapped on logo or lanyards and of course the forced shitty as hell designed and see through t-shirts in every box
win win for them because they can claim its "exclusive" and its cheap as fuck
at the very most they get a variant of a shitty funko character every so often
its hilarious to see how much normal fags eat it up, just watch an unboxing, they cannot even name half the IPs in the box.
Oh, are you kidding? I wish I had come up with that idea.
>get some merch that doesn't sell for a cheap price
>get one or two actually good things
>put it all together in a box and say it's a surprise
>send a couple to popular entertainers
>they do unboxing videos of it
>profit

Watch this.
He got bag and 1 out of 10 hogwards letter in his box. Very lucky or suspicious.
>>335912892
It's like 2009 summed up in one picture.
>>335915302
Same here, these "mystery" boxes are the current hot fad, they have one for just about everything now.
>>335915424
At least Ashens has the decency to take the piss out of them and be honest when it's trash.
>>335915424
I always skip Ashen's loot box videos because I cringe on them (not because of him mind you, but because of the content). Good thing he shares the same sentiment, especially towards those disgusting pop culture figures.
Also that fake nendroid lol
>>335915424
>the Loot Crate guys literally sent him an entire fucking box filled with fucking inflatable fucking crowns and a piece of paper with a troll face on it
I'm not sure whether I should hate them even more or be impressed in some weird way.
>>335915942
You should be disgusted
>>335915424
Didn't ashens reveal one of the grab bags being full of bootleg shit? Like I remember one featuring a statuette that came with Majora's Mask 3DS, but he saw the logo of Nintendo being wrong. And then it apparently had a nendroid too.
Aren't these things liable for suing on the grounds of infringement?
>>335915775
Yeah that episode. It was a video-game centric box.
>>335915942
disgusted in that they think trollfaces are still funny
>>335916083
>Aren't these things liable for suing on the grounds of infringement?
I do not think you can. They didn't made them, just send to some people.
>>335914536
>Glasses, beard, NES memorabilia and gaming headset
>>335916201
Still, isn't selling bootleg stuff still on the grounds of being sued or something?
>>335916301
You can say you didn't know. You also selling surprise box, not specific figures.
>>335915424
I'm surprised they send it to him if he actually honestly says how about they are
>>335916301
But hey, this boxes can be actually cool, if it was only cheap unlicensed stuff.
>>335912753
>mfw i open the dork cube
>>335916489
I think it is all about exposure to the audience, not good coverage.
>>335916489
bad publicity is still publicity

>>335918968
That's a thing
