The most popular merchandise for Minecraft is, of course, the plush toy of the "Tintin" Creeper.
A grotesquely green body, adorable round eyes, and a touch of fluffy texture that looks like it could explode at any moment...
Hmm, this is a strangely silly piece of merchandise, but it's still the most popular one.
Minecraft players really love this kind of thing!
The mosaic monster is a familiar stranger to them; it is the most recognizable monster image.
They felt that using different monsters for merchandise wasn't fun enough.
The peripheral item for "Hachiko's Story" is a Q-version Hachiko badge.
Something like this would be of little use in the interstellar age; it's basically a collector's item.
Just like Blue Star in the 21st century, who collects stamps.
It is very memorable.
Furthermore, Bluestar has pledged to donate all proceeds from this badge to the Bitot Dog Rescue Foundation.
This message will be displayed directly in the badge purchase information.
Players who see it can't help but feel a little proud, but also a little worried.
—Sigh, Earth is throwing money around again! Someone, stop him!
The merchandise for League of Legends is a mug.
The game map was carefully modified into beautiful patterns and decorated on the cup.
Players who purchase this cup will also receive a "little cup" emoticon as a gift in the game.
The expressions are adorable, and the price is very low.
Even if you just sell the emoticons at this price, many players will still buy them.
What's more, there's also a limited edition cup.
Even before the official website started selling them, a large number of players had already set alarms, ready to start their rush to buy them.
On the day of the sale, all 100,000 mugs were sold out at an astonishing speed.
It's important to know that the first batch of merchandise from Blue Star was limited to one purchase per account.
Even so, it sold out completely in just two minutes!
Players who arrived late could only refresh the page repeatedly, only to look at the message "The item is sold out" with frustration.
They knew their favorite game was popular, but they didn't expect it to be this popular.
Most of the players who buy these merchandise items are genuinely drawn to these exquisite and meaningful little things.
However, a small portion of them actually want to send money to Earth.
There's even a small group of people who come to "invest".
It's worth noting that the first limited edition merchandise of some classic works also has a high potential for appreciation and is collectible.
As time goes by, players' feelings for good games will gradually grow.
The limited editions sold back then naturally saw their prices rise accordingly.
Therefore, they believe that League of Legends will eventually reach a level of emotional resonance.
This allowed them to collect these limited-edition items, which became high-end goods on the market and eventually sold for hundreds or thousands of times their original price.
Each of these first batches of merchandise has a limited stock of only 100,000 units; once they're sold out, they're gone.
It also brought millions in sales to Blue Star.
However, this is not very profitable because the cost of prototypes is actually very high.
Costs will only drop to a level sufficient to generate profit once mass production begins.
After some internal planning, Blue Star Studio placed an order with the contract manufacturer for the first batch of merchandise to be officially sold.
If all goes well, the official merchandise store can be officially launched early next year!
The production of this batch of merchandise suddenly made Blue Star Studio feel a bit crowded.
During this period, the studio gradually expanded to a team of over a hundred people.
After receiving their desired merchandise, employees typically place it near their workstations, in a spot where they can easily admire it.
With the addition of large servers and workstations, the original seventh and eighth floors are really not enough to accommodate them all.
Ming Yan has already asked a real estate agent to help him find a more suitable location.
Blue Star Studio will have to relocate sooner or later, and it would be best to do it all at once.
If we have enough funds, we might as well buy the whole building and turn it into the "Blue Star Building".
However, he is also currently looking for a suitable alternate world.
Well, once "Blue Star Apocalypse" is released, as long as the sales aren't too bad, the funds on hand should be enough.
