You expect people to care about Wicked merchandise, misprint or not, in the future?
The value of these items isn't purely from their rarity but also their demand. If it was Star Wars or something yeah maybe it'll last.
This is such a Lemmy take. Ariana Grande is one of the biggest pop stars in entertainment, and Wicked is ONE OF THE BEST SELLING BROADWAY SHOWS EVER. Only behind the Lion King in total sales I think.
If a doll from Ariana's dinky little Nickelodeon tv show (don't come for me Victorious stans) is selling for this much, how much do you think her doll from Wicked is gonna sell for to the Broadway enthusiasts and Ariana stans?
Not everything is for you, but that doesn't make it irrelevant.
Because she’s popular right now. We’re talking about the future, do you think Wicked has the longevity of other popular franchises? Is Wicked as big as Harry Potter was? Because that has some staying power behind it.
You do realize Wicked is based on a 85 year old movie right?
