It is the year 2026 and I finally redeemed the in-game codes from the #GuildWars2 #FunkoPops that came out in (and which I've owned since) like January 2020

ENTERING THE NEXT CHAPTER : HAMLEY’S SECONDHAND BOOKSTORE OPENS IN CAMBRIDGE

In Nov. 2025, Jamie Hamley and his wife Sheri opened Hamley’s Second Chapter at 132 Main St. in Cambridge.  

Jamie, a resident of Waterloo, spent 15 years of his life overseeing operations at Petro Canada gas stations within the city. But his love for literature started early. Growing up in Owen Sound, Jamie spent his after-school hours immersed in local used bookstores, hunting for western novels by Louis L’Amour.   

His passion for reading and books inspired his goal of opening a second-hand bookstore, especially when he discovered there were none in Galt.  

“My employment at Petro-Canada moved to 3 days a week, so I was looking for an add-on opportunity,” Jamie said. “I have always been a used bookstore customer and an avid reader, so the choice was easy for me.”  

The couple collected books for their inventory at a four-day used book sale in Guelph that had 80,000 books available; out of these, they purchased 4,000.  

They continued their efforts by purchasing more books through online platforms such as Facebook Marketplace and Kijiji, as well as from individual residents.  

“We have an open concept in the store,” Sheri said. “We don’t want to be overstocked and cramped. We like to offer open space for the customers to look around.”  

To further support the neighbourhood, the couple has dedicated a table at the front of the shop to showcase local authors.  

Aside from books, the store also offers second-hand puzzles, Funko Pops and DVDs. Jamie said they plan to sell games in the future, but since his stock has grown so quickly, he decided to stop buying merchandise for his store in January, to focus on organization.  

“It’s important to recycle products to a second or even tenth user,” Jamie said. “Everybody is a reader—some people just haven’t found the right book yet. Maybe they can find it here.”  

“We are just starting to see what the community wants,” Sheri said. “We have expanded our non-fiction section to try to meet our customers’ needs.”  

Although having space for their store was a big dream come true, Sheri explained that finding a rental space that suited their needs was a challenge.   

“I have always wanted a physical store,” said Jamie. “Customers want to have the book in their hands, and you never know what you will find when you search the shelves.”  

With a three-year lease in place, the couple hopes that the store will become their full-time focus. Jamie sees it as the perfect “second chapter” and a meaningful project for him and Sheri to share throughout their retirement. 

#TIL after decades buying 7" and 12" #vinyl and even occasional random sized discs I found out that #TinyVinyl is a , uh, new thing... A pocket sized 4" record format devised to squeeze into #FunkoPops packaging and/or provide a 4 minute per side collectable playable format in the streaming era ...

All I know, is many "automatic return" turnturntables are not going to play these tiny discs!

SQUEEEEE! Look who arrived earlier than expected!

#BTS #FunkoPops

I bet the director of the OG #Noferatu film only made it so in 100 years they'd make #FunkoPops of that shit

With @itchio being down due to #AI abuse by #FunkoPops and their registrar enshittification, I think every single creator on #itchio should send them (, registrar and Funko) an email threatening to sue for loss of income.

I remember thinking that people who collected PEZ dispensers were hopelessly kitsch, but at least the heads on those things were more interesting than #FunkoPops. Someone pointed out to me that FPs inherently look more like one another than they do the thing they're nominally representing, because that draws the consumer back to Funko instead of toward the represented media.

So your Billy Pilgrim Funko Pop (please tell me that's not a thing) takes your mind away from Vonnegut and toward all the other nearly-identical plastic blobs so they can sell more.

WTF. The indie game website itch.io site has been taken down by #Funko because of some bogus #AI brand protection report. This could happen to anyone. AI is literally destroying peoples income.

UPDATE: They're back up now, glad they got this sorted with their provider quickly. Still terrifying how easy it is to take down a site.
