It's their money and if they want the figure now and can afford it, why not? I myself am waiting until summer to buy these figures but I understand why someone would want these early. Seriously in this hobby, this is not new at all. There are fans out there who genuinely want the figures because they are available now and like the figures, and aren't buying them for bragging rights. They just want the figures and if they are available now, they are willing to pay for them. Many of the guys that I've seen do this aren't in it for bragging rights at all. Hell I enjoy watching pictorial and video reviews on products months before official release. Most of you do too.
Just because you can choose to wait until summer to buy these doesn't mean you have to constantly criticize those who buy these figures early. Just as you constantly ask why someone would buy these now, one of the guys buying these can ask you why you keep questioning their purchases. They aren't using your money at all. Not to mention, none of the above things you mentioned have anything to do with buying an action figure early. Hell I don't even army build, but it doesn't bother me when I see someone display 500 Crimson Guards amongst 400 Cobra Troopers and 300 Vipers. It's something I myself don't ever intend to do but if someone else does it, I don't question why. It's their money, their choice, and if it makes them happy and doesn't harm anyone, then that's perfectly fine. Last edited by spacemonkeymafia; 04-14-2009 at 03:43 PM.. |

I have bought a couple of the more modestly priced ones loose, for some custom stuff I wanted to do. Why? To help the poor Chinese Economy. (not really, but it sounds better than because I can!) If your paying more than 12 bucks shipped for them, hey, I'll sell you mine! (Suckers)
I am looking forward to the unmasked SS, just for a 25th tommy head! The Jessica Simpson figure sucks! Why the tag on her shirt? Is she just a visitor? Last edited by BadWolf; 04-14-2009 at 04:39 PM.. |

Well, having seen those pictures, cover girl looks not quite so bad.

Yeah Covergirl's supposed to have that x-factor look but the vintage one doesn't have it either. I say it's not bad.
