I just hope scalpers don't ruin it for us this time around. I'll never get over the Pepsi Perfect fiasco.

It's an excellent watermelon flavor!

Also makes it easier for the scalpers. It's horrible.
Assuming Ecto Cooler gets a miraculous resurrection, hopefully the rollout is better this time around and everyone can get some.

I have a bin full of real/Extreme ghostbusters toys & Matty collector stuff.
When they released that 4K Blu-ray set with all the extra scenes, it was never available here and was sold on Amazon.ca by scalpers selling for over $150+!deadderek wrote: ↑January 28th, 2021, 10:21 pm It's annoying to have Walmart & Target exclusives.

My country expects to vaccinate everyone around September, and we are the slowest country on the list.The only country that matters is the US. I don't have much hope these days.
I think it's very likely!

Canadian retail is just dying all over. Zellers? Gone. Future Shop? Gone. Sears? Gone. Toys R Us? Gone. It’s sad but honestly? I do all my Christmas shopping online, my movie purchases and electronics too. The only thing I don’t do online is my grocery shopping.
I think Canada got Ecto coolers back in the ‘90s? Didn’t we? At least here in Ontario. I know we for sure had Real Ghostbusters Chef Boyardee! I use to love that as a kid. But I seem to remember something called Hi-C that had Ghostbusters branding on it as a kid. But I could just be remembering the commercials since we got access to the American networks like Fox, ABC, NBC & CBS.
I was lucky enough to get that 4K GB set with all the special features like the GB2 commentary for free(long story) but when I saw the price on Amazon I nearly shit myself.

timeware wrote: ↑January 30th, 2021, 8:08 am I doubt they're will be more stimulus checks if the "little people" are learning how to invest. It wouldn't surprise me if they place regulations on the next incoming bill. Just like they do with Social Security.Eh, a $2,000 check isn't enough to make investing worthwhile. Say you open account--you have an account fee of $25 if you don't put more than $250 in the account each quarter. It costs $10 to buy and sell a stock, or an exchange traded fund (etf). Sure, you could have invested all $2,000 in GameStop at $2.80 in April and be sitting on $230,140 today, but let's be honest: it's impossible to know if a company (which in the case of GameStop is basically a cash incinerator, btw) is going to see its stock price go up 11,507% ahead of time. So you take the $2,000, and you put it into a market index etf such as the iShares Core Moderate Allocation ETF, and put your $2,000 in that, spending $10 to purchase it (and $75 in account fees for the year, since you don't keep adding money to the account). After a year it returns $140, or $55 after fees. A piddly 2.75% return.

The reason it trended was because a bunch of amateur investors ensured a bunch of Hedge Fund managers bit off more than they could chew thinking the underhanded gamble they were playing with GameStop was a sure thing.

Outside looking in it seems like there's a push to squash this thing.It definitely looks like they're scared. A group of people were able to flex a financial muscle they don't get to use very often, and it cost some greedy bastards money.
