Great show, guys! This is why I came back. As you know, I sold all my Black Series figures. I didn't have a single one. I missed it too much though. I missed your channel too much. I'm starting from scratch, again, but I'm being more discerning with my collection. So far, I've got three figures and I rejoined the channel. I've been an action figure collector coming up on twenty years. I've watched a lot of KZfaq on the subject. You guys are the best. I even put your channel above Shartimus Prime's. I'm looking forward to a lot of great Black Series figures for 2024 and a lot of fun on Out of the Basement.

Justin 'flailing' at 23:15 is probably one of the funniest things I've seen all year. In fact, that whole end montage was brilliant! Excellent video! Lots of stellar figures this year. Yes, there were some flubs, but overall, 2023 was great for TBS. Here's to 2024!!! Happy New Year, everyone!

Malgus is definitely the best of 2023, but Padawan Ahsoka is my favourite. Hoping for more SWTOR and KOTOR figures in 2024! Just found your channel recently, really enjoying it. There is so much over the top, relentless negativity about Black Series its really refreshing to find a channel that doesn't give Hasbro a pass when they screw up but doesn't just reflexively hate everything either.

@OutOfTheBasement 7 ай бұрын

I appreciate comments like this! So glad to hear that's a sentiment with people discovering the channel. I never understood that part of the toy community. A hobby they willingly choose to be a part of (who can stop at any time) and they just keep buying and keep collecting despite being pissed off all the time. The over the top negativity and toxicity is something we never want our channel to be associated with. Yeah Hasbro, like any corporation, "messes up" all the time and we point it out...but the moment we stop enjoying the line is the moment we quit the line. I don't understand why so many people continute to torture themselves being in a hobby they clearly hate?!? -Justin

@whitefriarnerd 7 ай бұрын

@@OutOfTheBasement Exactly. Especially when they start torturing other people with it too. Like yeah it sucks when you fall out of love with a toyline, I've done it quite recently, but its my problem I'm not going to go make it the problem of people who still collect that line. It's all just a hobby, if you aren't enjoying it, move onto something you do

Hello Nate and Justin. Wow the intro for the OOTB Awards Show looks wonderful 👍. And both of you gentlemen looking sharp, great Vader tie Nate. Darth Malgus is definitely an amazing figure and it's my personal belief Black Series needs more Sith Lord figures in the future. Definitely agree with you Nate BBTS can take forever with getting figures. I'm still waiting for Jedi Vader and Jedi R2-D2 But BBTS told me yesterday that R5-D4 and Mando were possessing for me and they've got the Mando R2-D2 in stock so I might ditch the Jedi R2-D2, considering 🤔 Thanks for the video guys and I loved the "after party" looks great and fun.

I didn’t buy many black series this year. But I did get the recently released phase 2 clone trooper. That clone is really good. So I decided to buy a phase 1 trooper aswell because I prefer that design. Other than that, it’s been just Luke and ahoska. But the biggest win for my black series collection was finally getting my hands on Rex. That figure is amazing and still holds up. I got Cody for Christmas to go with him. So the clone flood gates have opened. Hopefully I do fall too far in the trap. Next years phase 2 clone and b1 battle droid set looks to have serious army building potential.
