after what we have witness from covid19, it all just feels materialistic. i dont even know if buying toys for the fun or for the sake of buying. so i wonder if a gem is truly a gem. for now more interested in the upcoming big game.

For me it is more FOMO than actually missing out. I talked myself into buying the Hulkbuster, Ecto-1, 66 Batmobile and more, when all I really needed was the batmobile. I have a basement stuffed to the gills with collectibles.

I have been out of work for 4 months. Before then, I preordered many figures. Now a bunch of them have a balance due. I still do not want to miss out on them, but cannot afford them right now

current hobby totally relies on FOMO. quantities are made to fulfill mainly preorders. they figure this gurantees purchases and reduce risk of overproducing, which results in clearance sales which would devalue a brand.

I once read an interesting essay about rare collections but can't remember where, if I'm not mistaken the site was called fastessay but it's not exact

Just remembered a key point: Don't overlook local meetups and collector's fairs. Sometimes the most elusive treasures pop up right in our backyard! Plus, it's a great way to meet fellow enthusiasts and swap stories (or collectibles!). Anyone else found a gem at a local event?
