Cubimals

I tried so hard I really did. I'd lived happily and carefree up until that time when in a moments weakness I went and bought one, and one quickly led to another...and another...and another...and another....etc etc etc
What am I talking about? Why it's my crippling cubimal habit of course. I'm facing imminent bankruptcy because of it. I just can't make, gather and sell stuff fast enough to keep pace with it.

Please TS hear my plea, can we have cheaper cubimals please or at least be able to buy them on auction. Market forces may drive down the cost for us sad desperate wretches addicted to right angled clockwork toys.

p.s. check profile for evidence - have already sold the shirt off my back (kept underpants on, I do have some dignity remaining)

  • Personally I'm not going to pay for a single cubimal until I can sell them in the auction.

  • sigh. I'm with you on that. I'm trying to save enough currants for another batch of cubis. I'm still missing the 3 most rare and cant see me saving enough to buy them from a dealer.
    Not at over 150K each anyway. I've stored all sorts of stuff but cant even sell the emblems at a reasonable level now to make up for my habit.

  • I see that you didn't have to sell the rug off your chest, though, yet...

    Good luck!

  • I recently bought 600k worth of them. That is my story, the end.

  •  heh.  Cubimals exist so people have something to blow money on.

    They are not likely to get cheaper.  Now there are lots of giveaways and contests to join  to get your cubi collection.  

    No one can make you stop buying boxes but just know that you will have likely spent more buying boxes then going through a cubi dealer like Jess. ( no she didn't pay me to say this)

    One box leads to another and another.... So just join cubi trading groups and watch the market or make a deal with Jess.  

    And just ignore the floating potatoes when you pass them. :)

  • RJ - did you get them all? or are you still in need of that missing one? Wondering if a large batch buy will get me the super rares.

  • Nah, I got the trophy a long time ago with the help of Jess.... I just did it to see if I would get a rook or rube and... No. I bought 107 boxes in one go, and the best I got was two UF's, and a magic rock... all the other were either uncommons or commons....
    Yes, I am selling them all, and here is the link: www.glitch.com/forum/market...

  • I help a lot of close friends with the trophy.. but I have found that buying boxes and trying to get that rare takes a lot more money out of your pocket (in the long run)

    I have accumulated so many cubimals over the months and sold them for quite cheap to help others NOT spend so much money on boxes to end up with pigs and chicks.

  • Jess, if I cant get any of my spares shifted via market place, I may be back for another trade off.

  • I spent another million currants on them last night..the 2 good ones I received were Helga and Gwen...all the others were commons and bureaucrats...:? I've spent approx 3 mill on the boxes and have yet to get a rook or rube from the toy vendor! Thank goodness for the Empire that is Jessenya :O)  She was the only way I got my collection complete..now to work on my cubi box buying addiction.

  • Good to see I'm not alone, it provides me with some comfort although I realise others are suffering with the pain of this addiction too.
    @Jessenya - I need 5 more. I can send you money, my neighbours car, my cubi addicted soul or whatever you want, just let me have them please!
    Thank you

  • So addicting. I need cubimals anonymous

  • I think it would be awesome if we could craft the boxes.   You craft a box and either open it to see what you got, or sell the unopened box (with a random cubi inside) on auction.

  • I'm a retired cubie collector. I kicked that habit, and it was very hard. I don't think the price of the boxes will change because they are already the perfect price- cheap enough to get a regular fix, but expensive enough to keep you wanting. Purple and No-No are just clever ruses to distract  players from the real drug ;)

  • Personally I hope they never do anything like this... I've got a ton I plan to sell someday down the road. :)

  • i am with you, jess (et al). i used to make my currants regularly selling emblems. now that they are available on auction the price is way down plus you have to pay commission AND there's no guarantee they'll actually sell and then youre out the listing fee too! 

    keep cubis off auctions!!!

  • Well...this explains you running around in your underthings, with your curly little chest hairs blowing in the breeze!

    I have a bunch I can give you, if that helps? I'm such an enabler!

  • I really really want to buy more but my one look at my low currant amount and I stop, though I don't know if I had lots if I would spend it all. So I see how this could be a problem for others. But my biggest question is how are we going to get cubimals when the vendors are gone? The prices will go rocketing up and I'll never be able to get the few I need to complete my collection. (I don't need the trophy but it would be nice to have all of them) Maybe we could make them but things like the rube take 5 bigger bags of boards and some elements or something boards NOT planks and maybe some snails?

  • I'm fairly sure things that aren't craftable will be available from (some sort of) vendor.

    So you'll either to be able to make them (unlikely) or buy them as per normal
