They're pretty horrible investments, but they hold their value well if you know what you're doing. Look up the price of the Evangelion DVD set- it still goes for $150+, which is insane for a DVD set that was released in 2002. Like any collectible commodity you're going to incur some losses of value (inevitable if you know how the marketplace works), but if you invest wisely you can end up on making some big pocket change. You have to look at the big picture 10-20 maybe even 30 years down the line. For a classic example, look at the Star Wars figures from the original trilogy. I had a whole collection of them. Unfortunately, I opened the box and played with them. Threw most them out when I moved out to college like an idiot. If I had kept them in the box in pristine condition, they'd be worth thousands by now. Not going to make that mistake again. If you buy a "collectible" set, the whole point is to not open them and keep it in a safe place. I invested in a climate controlled storage unit basically filled to the brim with collectibles, but you don't even need to go that far. Let the idiots open it. After all, they're the reason the price will skyrocket decades down the line. Basically, don't look at them as toys, look at them as an investment. A long term investment. No, your collectible from 2001 isn't worth poo poo right now. But just wait. If you can pick em right, you'll come out on top. Then again, if you're a complete idiot and you have no idea what you're doing you end up with a garage full of beanie babies.

These next ones aren't as good as the top three in the OP, but I'd bring them up anyways. Knights of Sidonia: Season 1 Collector's Edition I'm mixed about this one because I don't think this looks like a bad anime, but how many art cards does it need to pack in?  Denki-Gai Collector's Edition 3 (Eps #9 -12) + CD  Gurren Lagann Collector's Edition OHHHHH I bet ADTRW's going to get pissy at me about this one, especially because their favourite anime of all time besides Eva has a "totally not a body pillow" Yoko poster.

That's not an expensive Gurren Lagann box set. THIS is an expensive Gurren Lagann box set. To the tune of 500 dollars. You're paying a lot more for the extra quality of Blu-Ray(tm) in addition to all this poo poo. quote:* TV series, eps 1 - final (English audio, English subtitles) It comes with a fully written and annotated translation book for the original Japanese version of the show, as well as a fuckin huge concept art/production book that is exclusive to that box set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cICXH56h11U Here is a man unboxing it if you for some reason want to see what the inside looks like, I can't find any still promo pictures of it because it's so drat rare.

Dr Cheeto posted:The anime industry depends on the filthy dollars of disgusting otaku purchasing an enormous amount of merchandise. Proof lies in the 15 user purchase reviews on that Amazon link for the box set I just posted about; at an average of 600-ish dollars for new and used ones, that's nearly ten thousand smackers right there for something that probably costs less than a hundred to print including the DVD's. Let alone how many have probably bought it without leaving a review.

no one is gonna buy a deluxe box set for beyond the boundary because it had real nice animation but was real bad in every other way. oh im a super badass with a tragic past but i am also somehow incredibly clumsy and fall on my face all the goddamn time but only outside of fight scenes because that is an attractive trait to otaku. fix my broken life with your dick bland-as-gently caress-protagonist-san. poo poo tier show, poo poo tier waifu.

i could see someone go for the highschool of the dead boxset, though. it is a real dumb show but sometimes ultraviolence and physics-defying titties are fun.

I'd never heard of Denki Gai, so I googled it. It sounds like a fun little show Umio is a shy kid who just started his part time job at a manga store smack dab in the middle of the city. But his lifestyle isn't as glamorous as the neon lights that illuminate the city. Umio's closest friends are his co-workers who are all unique characters, to say the least, and although they're nice people, they have their quirks. They are a tight knit group of friends, have nicknames for each other and spend their weekends inside, sheltered from the extravagant scene happening on the outside.

Whenever I investigate a sexual abuse/pedophile case the perpetrator almost invariably has a separate account on their computer that "isn't theirs" but a "friends and uh he doesn't live here anymore" that when we eventually gain access to is loving filled with anime and other child porn, if theyre particularly sneaky they try to hide it not only by just putting it in a random folder but by changing the file format lol
