wow super jelly on the lat@s figs; you got any pointers on getting some of those?

Stalk ebay and wait. Everything in my Lati@s collection that wasn’t a gift or a handmade item was purchased from ebay. You’re also going to need a LOT of patience because a lot of the less common items in my collection are items I had to wait YEARS for a listing to pop up at a respectable price (if anything in my collection is something you’ve never seen before, chances are you’re gonna be waiting a WHILE because I was likely waiting a while for the same exact item). You’re also gonna have to be prepared to deal with wading through bootlegs, damaged items, tons of repeat listings, and people wanting frankly unreasonable amounts of money for particularly rare items. 

It’s been a super slow process for me cause my collection as it is now is the result of over 8 years of collecting and it’s still tiny compared to a notable few Lati@s ones that I’ve seen just because I personally like to know that I’m not gonna be going broke doing this as a hobby because I’m getting actually fair deals on my stuff. In the end really it’s all about playing the long waiting game for basically whatever it is you’re looking for.
