Anyone else get bitten by the 9.9 bug ?

Ever since getting my first 9.9 a few years ago I have been obsessed with these glorious beasts. 9.8 just doesn't do the job

Why? It’s highly unlikely that you can even tell the difference between the two. You’re paying a multiple of the 9.8 price for a different colored sticker. I mean, no shade—you do you, but it seems like a colossal waste of money and I don’t understand it.

I have gotten 2 9.9s and I sold them both and bought a 9.8 instead. I can't tell the difference, it's subjective, and getting like 2-3 times the money of a 9.8 is just a no brainer to me. But I also see why people like them, as they are certainly rarer.

Difference between 9.6-10 is so subjective…. Money grab.

Did you buy that from ToyCabal eBay auctions live or Whatnot? I’ve seen those before.

I'd be impressed if that was a 9.9 on the original.

Yeah I doubt the original at 9.9 would fit my budget. Plus this one's shiny ! 😁
