Figures you couldn't bring yourself to part with

[Legendary Hunter]

My PREDATORS! they were the main reason I started collecting HT and also my vintage G.I. Joe Cobra Rattler that my dad got me in 1985.

Anything can go if the price is right, except gifts from the missus.

 

[tomandshell]

I never met a 12" figure that I wouldn't be willing to part with. But if we're talking PFs, that's a different story...

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Do the guys who can part with any figure in their collection hold any personal value to at least one figure?

 

[Rotfish]

Well, let's put it this way: I love my HT Celtic Predator, but if someone offered me $2K for him, I'd gladly drop the thing.

(and re-buy it brand-new, mwa, ha, ha, ha!)

 

[Darth Madden]

I thought there were a few things I could never part with, Trick R Treat Sam, Sideshow Darth Vader, TS: Battle Damaged John Connor but 10 months of unemployment put an end to those thoughts. I am back to work now and rebuilding the collection but nothing is untouchable now.

 

[Alice]

Several for different reasons.

Ones that were gifts from the missus: 3AA Blanc NOM Commanders.
Ones that I've given to the missus as gifts: HT Robo and Medicom Snape.
Ones that are mine, but the missus likes too much to let me get rid of them: HT T1 and T2 T-800s.

Any of my Terminator collection. Even though I have multiples of pretty much everything I'd still stop and think 'yeah but what if I think of a variant I could have made out of that' etc etc

Priorities can change in life though so who really knows for sure.

 

[JD18_92]

I keep telling myself that i should sell off all my HT and get into something more focused, but then i just wanna keep my IM, and WM. . . .and everyone else. . .i just cant seem to let em go. . .altho as Darkness said, money does talk

 

[a-dev]

I haven't regretted selling anything that I've sold so far although things will get increasingly difficult. I'm running out of items that I feel have been non-essential for my collection.

 

[Gipetto0812]

I battle a lot with the figures I want to sell and keep b/c i dont buy to sell later, i buy to keep. Then I gain a personal attachment b/c most of my figures I've tweaked and shave added my own personal custom touch which make it hard say "ok I'll sell that." there are only a few that haven't been customized or modded and those are even special b/c they were so good that I didn't need to mod them. But the ones that definitely will never go unless I financially need it are my Supermen, LOTR, SW and Depp figures. The rest can go for the right price even my T2 T-800 but that would be the last to go of the selling bunch

 

[jkno]

I think I wouldn't part with my HT Endos. Even if they make new ones these still are a piece of art.

 

[fosing]

last one to go if and only IF everything must go.

 

[Rotfish]

That is and always will be a hell of a nice custom, fosing. Figures like that are a different story when it comes to the "money talks" philosophy.

 

[fosing]

yep, some sentimental values cant be tagged or prized. :]

 

[King Darkness]

Pfft....there is nothing material in this world that I couldnt part with for the right price.

Anyone who says otherwise is completely full of ____.

 

[Wanderer]

^^ That sums it up

you are talking to a person who collects fingernails btw.

reminds me of that chick who tried to sell her virginity to the highest biidder.

Well of course there is a price for everything but would you part with them for current prices? If somebody offered me $1,000 for Jack Sparrow of course I'd sell it but at its current going rate (about retail) no I wouldn't.

I beg to differ, sounds like someone has never seen the show Hoarders.
