It’s great that musicians can sell a high cost item (vastly greater revenue vs streams per customer), but I do worry the labels are over-indulging here and heading the market towards a Funkopop like crash. Most record stores I go into have reoriented towards very mainstream new releases and overpriced ‘rare’ vintage albums. Meanwhile the more serious collectors market has moved to Discogs and Bandcamp/direct. So when the market turns on vinyl, physical stores will be the biggest direct losers. And even an average shop in the neighborhood is better than none at all.
- Gigachad 3y ago>a Funkopop like crash. Could you explain this?

- kugestu 3y agoThis answer doesn’t explain at all what a "Funkopop like crash" is and sounds straight from ChatGPT. Particularly the jump from "crash" to "Crash Bandicoot like figurine". I am really sad that even high quality discussion platforms are flooded with low quality, non-content AI comments like this.

- atdrummond 3y agoFunkopop collections are a 2010s/2020s Beanie Babies. They released so many licensed lines that eventually the demand waned and collectors had ‘lost’ thousands.
