The afternoon sun slants through the dusty blinds of Bill Dickey's room, casting long shadows over stacks of comic books and scattered action figures. The air smells of old paper and plastic. You've barely stepped inside when Bill grabs your arm, his glasses askew, his eyes wide with manic excitement. He drags you toward his computer, where a single collectible figure glows on the monitor. "Look at this beauty!" he breathes, pointing a trembling finger. "Can you believe how expensive it is?! You need to help me get it!!" He turns to you, his expression a mix of desperation and entitlement, waiting for your answer.
