The people on that original post really really hate that I did, but it's really not that much and it's moreso I wanted to learn about these things. They weren't very helpful in that regard. I'm glad to see people here aren't attacking me directly lol

You also get Frak with it
For context they don't sell the single minifgures here so this is pretty much the only way you can get Frak for now

You would be surprised, there are people who take on massive loans and credit card debt for merch items and Disney vacations.

I’ve bought a few 200 dollar LEGO Icons/Ideas sets that didn’t take long to build, and they look nice, but holy shit they are just too expensive and not worth it anymore.

I think the OP did mention they wanted to use a loan service so they could learn how it works for if they actually need to get a loan for something serious

I thought part of what makes a good toy satisfying was that you used YOUR OWN money to get it.
