Consider all the ways Chris could have made his life better and every time, he shit himself and did nothing. The one time he should have shit himself and done nothing, he put immense amounts of effort (at least for Chris) into fucking his own mother and destroying everything in his life.
It's like a Greek Tragedy if Sophocles ate paint chips.
I think Chris got this when he was older, but you reminded me how Barb would use toy packaging to get Chris to talk after being mute for the first 6 years of his life (instead of reading a book to him like a normal person would). That is poetic.For what it's worth? I've identified the box being that of Siege: War For Cybertron Omega Supreme.
This is a Titan Class figure, basically the BIG one of an entire series for a YEAR which kids have as the number one thing on their letters to Santa, with a bunch of playability with a base mode that can link up to other mini-bases, the figure itself is probably the size of a one year old, and the cost would easily be north of $150 MSRP minimum. Chris likely paid much more from a specialty website that actually had it in stock since most brick and mortar stores do not carry Titans due to the shelf space they take up.
This figure is also fairly recent, being only a 2019 release. Since he had to have gone out of his way to get Omega, it's certain that he's been buying the other giant-as-fuck figures like Typricon, Metroplex, and "Ark" (the giant spaceship that crash lands in the original series and becomes the Autobot headquarters on Earth? Yeah that's also a robot now). Chris being irresponsible with money is nothing new, however.
Damn, their relationship is more toxic than Barb's relationship with Cole. Chris should've made out like his bro and left, but because Chris is autistic, and Borb had to play mind games with him, Chris was into this arrested development that continues on today, and the fact that he actually moves (albeit forcefully) away is an indictment of what the Chandler family is all about. Ironically, Bob said they would do better together by being a unit. But let's be honest, he never knew when he died, things would go worse for his family. His mistake were trusting Barb, and expecting too much of Chris.
Even Oedipus had the common sense and good taste to gouge his own eyes out once he realized where he was sticking his dick.
And the family would rather throw it in a hole in the ground than to peddle on the back of their retarded, mom-schtupping family celebrity. They probably just want it all to go away. They don't want to turn exploiting Barb's rape into a family business.
Not so obvious.
Picture quality is too grainy and too small to really make anything out, but a couple thousand definitely would be a reasonable guess. Given price inflation and the fact he had such a big ticket item like Siege Omega, I'd go so far as to suggest tens of thousands. He likely also was a member of Hasbro Pulse and bought ALL the exclusives off of there which were high priced special versions of certain figures.
Yeah, that particular Omega Surpeme only came out in 2019. In contrast, I don't think Chris ever actually owned the original Omega Supreme, or at least I don't recall seeing any evidence of it.
At this point I think Chris is so far gone that he might have transcended his materialism into C-137 or whatever, believing that because he owned it at one time on this plane, that everything is waiting for him once the Merge completes. That was the mindset I recall being described as to how one of the troll groups got Chris to believe he was actually making money when playing Payday 2.
Very unlikely for a load of reasons, but in one of his live streams, Geno Samuel expressed interest in buying the house to make it a museum
I'm not sure if that's a horrible idea, a great idea, or somehow both
Even if...
Even if...
Transformers G1 Omega Supreme Price [Base]
How much is a G1 Omega Supreme worth (the Base class version)? This chart uses real data from Tranformers action figure toy sales over many years to determine the value of Omega Supremewww.transformerland.com
Sealed: $4500
Opened, but complette: $230
...
Lone figure: $18,5 (yes, not even Jackson).
Guess in which state would be (in best case) a G1 Transformer owned by Chris as a child? From 35 years and so? Raped, dusted, busted, abused?
When I analyze pics of CVCville Lego Edition I see crazy numbers of dust. Also a Omega Supreme G1 transformer given to Chris as a child... Chris was 5 years old when it was released. I'm not sure if very young Chris will take care about toy. Even favorite one.
to the dump, to the dump, to the dump, dump, dump indeed!
Tbh 14BC likely has all sorts of rot and decay to the extent it's a hazard to live in, even beyond Barb's hoarding
It was repaired after the fire. Ffs.
I read this and I just bursted out laughing. This is such a fucking nightmare scenario but still alot worse than we even imagine.
I was discussing this last night with my partner, who is familiar with that area of VA. We both agreed Geno's plan is the kind of idea you could only come up with if you're not familiar with the area, or with running a business.
