I’ve been working on a project for the past few months I am so excited to share! I’ve just launched pre orders for my Nostalgic PC Ita Bag design and Mouse coin purse! The folks in the ita bag reddit suggested I come share the design here 🩵

These are large and roomy bags featuring swappable inserts, deep pockets, and lots of fun details like mouse pointer zipper pulls.

The ita pocket has enough room for small plushies and figures to fit, or has velcro swappable inserts that sit flush with the bag window.

Bags are $100 and the mouse coin purse is $16

I hope you like! I made these with my fellow virtual pet collectors and 90s nostalgics in mind.

Id love to see some PC games, webcore, Serial Experiments Lain, Touhou, Webkinz, Vocaloid bag themes made!!

I hope you enjoy them and I appreciate any shares for support 🩵

why is LEGO harry potter either $469 or “retired forever and now $900 on ebay” there’s no in between

i don’t want to pay rent. i want to emotionally heal by building hogwarts in my living room.

and somehow every time i check amazon it is: • full price • “limited stock” • or $40 cheaper but i missed it by 6 hours

why is collecting lego a part time job

anyway. i got tired of manually checking prices like a Victorian child waiting for crumbs so i built a free price drop alert that emails you when LEGO Harry Potter sets actually go on sale.

no spam. just “hey, your childhood is 18% off”

if you’re also financially irresponsible but in a magical way:

In 1995, the first item sold on AuctionWeb, the early website that later became eBay, was a broken laser pointer. Founder Pierre Omidyar was surprised someone bought it, so he checked if the buyer knew it was broken. The buyer knew. He collected broken laser pointers. Iconic niche behavior.
