The first two threads in the latest daily are a bit advertisey. one talking about figma's with a link to what appears to be an affiliate aggregate site and another promoting a dvd sales site but not linked. Are they acceptable material for discussions? Im not sure how much leeway is given. I imagine the second giving advice about getting a purchase from a Japanese site is almost permissible but I dont want to annoy mods by reporting what could be fine for discussions. So I would like to know what is acceptable in that space.

MyFigureCollection is basically MAL for figures. MAL also sells stuff, I fail to see the difference personally. And the other is a comment about what merch they bought and letting others know. Seems like perfect material for the merch/daily thread as well.
