You shouldn't be collecting toys on a weekly chore allowance anyway...

^^ See, that's where things get complicated. You have to be a smart collector to get the good deals. You can't always rely on others to drop their prices for you. You don't always have to use your money btw, you can buy something inexpensive or in your price range, flip it, and use the proceeds from that to buy what you need or want to get started. I put over $600 into my Jack Nicholson Joker figure alone, it wasn't easy at first acquiring all the parts, but I never stopped to think "Wow, that's ridiculous, I could buy an HDTV with the money I spent on this", no, I never did, because the Joker figure meant so much to me, it was something I always wanted and I still cherish it, it remains a true collectible in my mind. So once again, you can't expect someone to drop prices around the Holidays just because the local retailers are dropping their prices (for items that run by the hundreds, btw) in this case, some of these figures are 1-of-a-kind.

I won a HT Michael Jackson Thriller that I sold and used the money to pay for a HT Resident Evil Jill!


I can understand people complaining about Sideshow's QC issues and some of their product choice, but complaining because you can't afford it or because people make fun of your hobby makes you sound like a goober.

Mike,

If you think these collectibles are made out of crappy materials.
Then don't buy.

If you think these collectibles are to over priced.
Then don't buy.

If care so much what others think of your collection.
Then don't buy.

I consider this a hobby. Mine and nobody else's.

*uses Jedi mind trick* You will give me your Jill... now.

I hear ya. Most of these newbs pop over from the Spawn boards (or after getting booted from other forums like Hunter's Lair), thinking they can hang and are "experts" on what real collectibles are, only to go into sticker shock and instantly start bashing every single high-end company in an effort to justify their kiddie collectibles and weekly allowance-based budgetary constraints.
