  for the colourpop makeup, it was much more affordable when it came out! and was definitely not only aimed at kids😅but its now been long discontinued so that may be why the price is so high now ☺

  For the socks, since I have some niche knowledge: novelty socks are generally more expensive than regular socks because of how many colors are needed. High quality novelty socks are either woven a specific way, embroidered, or both. Multiple colors of yarns and threads are used, and it’s a highly specific design that has to be programmed into multiple machines. $13 for two pairs of a super niche fandom’s socks is actually a steal!

  the colourpop makeup was really well priced at the time, and they used the same formula for their other products. I already liked the brand so I picked up the Abel Sisters quad and I still have it!

  I'm glad that you covered the Build-A-Bears! I work at Build-A-Bear Workshop and I LOVE our Animal Crossing friends!! Fun fact: they each have "secret sounds" if you scan their tag on our sound machines! They each have the New Horizons theme, Isabelle and Tom Nook each have sounds of their voices, and KK Slider has an assortment of KK songs you can choose from!! Bubblegum KK is, of course, one of the options x3 They're so much fun!!!

  Colourpop is a very popular brand not aimed at kids, the price is definitely reasonable for the quality! They often do collabs with IP’s like Star Wars and Disney! It’s common now among drugstore and high end brands!

  The colourpop makeup was actually well-priced before it was discontinued!  Definitely not for kids either, their formulas are great and made for some fun looks :)

  The build a bear franchise is huge!!! Also it has a crazy huge adult following. They are even gearing Bear specifically for adults. I own all of the ACNH BABs, bought then right when they dropped.

  i actually think its really cool how diff AC monopoly plays, it makes it feel like an original board game that just happens to have some monopoly theming. my one complaint is how theres nearly 300 TOKENS with no way to organize them. they all just shuffle together once you put it back in the box, makes it a pain to set up each time too. i had to make my own divider just so everything gets put away neatly after playing

  Build a bear has crossovers with nintendo all the time. One that reoccurring is their pokemon stuff. I'm pretty sure all their cross promotions with companies keep them in business because of collectors

  I agree that at first it seems weird that Hot Topic carries pop culture stuff when they&apos;re so punk/goth oriented, but it&apos;s literally in their name... They&apos;ll stock the current trend or &quot;hot topic.&quot;<br>That took me years to understand 😩

  Also, the Nintendo Stores in Japan, including online, always have Animal Crossing goods for sale, and they often do seasonal sets of stuff, including real dishes and stuff. It&apos;s almost always classy-looking, and well made. I would kill for that stuff to be sold here. Oh, and back when the OG Animal Crossing came out, there was a series of tiny house dioramas that you could by in Japan, and they were adorable. They had puzzle-piece bases that you could connect together to make a village.

  The animal crossing/colourpop collab was the best. I use the lip tints regularly still. Colourpop is known in the makeup world for doing lots of collabs and their makeup is great quality for a good price.
