Quoted from IdahoRealtor:I feel extra bad for any new blood of average means entering the hobby today. With the B List now out of reach their choices are very limited. Want ads for Waterworld, Shaq Attack, and Raven are not far off.
As a young, new collector,
(early 20’s) I enjoy some of the seemly despised themes. I’d love Shaq Attaq and I’ve always got an eye out for Space Jam. For me, I don’t mind buying and owning something to mock and laugh about. Those titles are hilarious and gameplay really isn’t that bad imo. Tbh I think most Segas/Capcoms play pretty well.
I’ve also found I’m way more attracted to games based on oddity of them. Even if it plays like garbage, I really enjoy rare and unusual novelty games. That adds to the allure of them to me. I’ve still found really great deals on almost every game I own. You just have to try harder, hit the pavement more often, and really expand your reach. When you cast a wide net you’re bound to catch something.
People new in the hobby now seem to be afraid of working on their pins, or at least shy away from it. Unless it’s adding blinding LEDs and tacky figures, they don’t wanna do it. Now we have an economy that’s all but forgotten the recession and they feel more than comfortable throwing down big bills to get what they want.
