No receipts, no guarantees.
It starts with a whisper. A quiet exchange in a backroom lit by dying neon, where Go Figures trade limbs like currency. A hand for a foot. A torso for a dream. The dealers don’t ask where your last piece came from, and you don’t ask why the one they’re handing over is still twitching. The Pop ‘N Lock operates on one unshakable rule—if it fits, it’s yours. If it doesn’t, it’s still yours. It’s meant to be an upgrade. A clean swap. A second chance at being whole. But sometimes, a piece from The Pile sneaks in. And once it’s locked in place, that’s you now. Maybe the new leg bends the wrong way. Maybe the new arm won’t let go. Maybe the new head has memories that aren’t yours. Either way, The Pop ‘N Lock doesn’t do exchanges. If you walked in looking for an edge, you’d better hope you can live with what you found.
The Friendly Robot Travel Agency recommends walking in like you belong and leaving before you don’t. The only way to win at The Pop ‘N Lock is making them believe you did.

Rick’s Review:
"It felt like an upgrade right up until I tried to run. Now I just move with character."
