    This includes the P-Body Nendoroid and the Atlas Nendoroid. You can get each of them for 5,800 Japanese Yen or about $53...

    PSA: Get Destiny 2 PC for $12 via Humble

    Humble is offering up Destiny 2 for just $12 if you subscribe to their Humble Monthly deal. While they call it a subscription, you are free to cancel at any time.

I'm not 100% sure on how the whole monthly subscription thing works, but I think they add some additional games during the month? Whatever, it's Destiny 2 for $12. It's an Act...
