Your narrative is not accurate.

This is it!

This happened in Democratic Republic of Congo. A man had a crocodile in a duffel bag, yes a duffel bag. A flight attendant saw it and freaked out. She hustled to the front to tell the pilot, but the rest of the passengers saw the crocodile and panicked. They ran to the front and even thought the pilot told them not to all gather in the front, they did so anyway.

There was one survivor to tell the story.

Well, two. The crocodile survived, but was killed by a machete soon after.

Anyone else have one?

I’ve got one, though it’ll be several hours before I’m available to answer questions.

A toy company in the early 2000s released an unsuccessful line of collectables. If you were to try to collect them now, you would likely find that the pieces that were meant to be the least valuable are now the hardest to find, and the pieces meant to be the most valuable are now the most common. The reason for this is directly tied to the reason these toys were unpopular. What is that reason?

Were they toys that needed to be put together in order to work? As in, was putting them together part of the fun?

Were they battery-operated?

Were they supposed to be cute?

Were they supposed to be played with at all? Or more for display?

If they were meant to be played with, did you need more than one person to play with them properly?

Did they come with a main part and then accessories or components sold separately?

Were they cards?

Were they coins?

Did people deliberately save the ones that were “supposed” to be valuable, while tossing out or ruining the ones that were “supposed” to be common?

Was counterfeiting involved?

Did the “common” ones have random variations?

Are there other collectibles in direct competition to these that were more successful?

This was predicted to happen with The Death of Superman when it came out. The black bag versions were kept dearly, but the standard over the counter normal edition was not valued.

However, both are not worth anything I think. Everyone kept everything.
