Line 134:
** Brett treats the new iPhone as this, wanting to be the first person in the area to get one. To accomplish this goal, he gets a job at the local Apple store in the hopes that employees get first dibs. It goes horribly wrong when he tries to quit at the premiere to get the first spot in line, and he ends up hospitalized.
* The gag comic ''[[Vegetables for Dessert]]'' had a one-shot depicting how teddy bears are made. Hunters shoot them in the wild, stuff them, and sells them as collectible toys. All as black comedy, of course.
* In ''[[Real Life (webcomic)|Real Life]]'', Mae's friends and family display this tendency naturally. ** Mae has spent hours collecting rare items in ''Ultimate Online'' and ''Zelda'' in the 90s, before she transitioned. Her relationship with Crystal started when Crystal gave her [[The Big Damn Kiss]] to snap her out of the zone.
** The gang has also used time-travel to go to the future and buy the newest game or Harry Potter book, rather than wait for it like a normal person.
** Mae and Liz once camped overnight in line to get the new Nintendo WII. It was a very long line, though one person thought they were getting the PS5.
** One 2020s arc had the gang pull a heist for lightsabers from the Disneyland ''[[Star Wars]]'' backstage. Tony questioned the wisdom of this since he could just ''make'' a lightsaber with his [[Evil Genius]] tech skills.
