bingo...I stated more than once that a person has every right to sell their collection if they choose to do so...like a few of you has stated,there are different reasons why a person would sell their collection, the people who just got into gi joe when the classic line started and who are now bailing on the line because it is on hiatus is the people who I consider "fair weather fans"....I am totally aware of the current state of the economy,and I do sympathize with anyone who HAVE TO sell anything that they are passionate about in order to survive. With that said, anyone who believes that the economy is bad isn't a sells pitch for some people,is a complete fool...like I already stated,the economy has been messed up for awhile,actually the economy has been messed the entire time this toyline existed,yet people continue to buy joe after joe....I can garantee that there are people who are selling of there gi joe collection who will continue to buy and collect other toylines, if that's not a fair weather fan I don't know what is.

I'm definitely a fair weather fan. I stopped after UBP last fall. nothing else interested me. ALL of the movie stuff is lame spring loaded shit like we all knew it would be. Good times or bad I'm only spending on what interests me... period.
PS. I'm avidly collecting 1:18 scale 21st century WWII - which is WAY more expensive |

I have been a Joe fan since 1982. Re-releasing this figures was the best thing Hasbro could have done. There are still lots of joes they still need to release. Arriba los G.I.Joes!!!!!

A true honest collector wouldnt be so worried and bothered about the conditions and motives of other collectors so badly. This type of behavior IS elitist, and symptoms of some insecurities that transcend "toy collecting". You have ZERO authority to call anyone a band wagon collector, that is absurd.
The fact that you are trying belittle people selling their collections during hard times is pathetic. You do not have a clue, and no your prediction is pretty far fetched. |

What makes a true collector? Is it just owning a hundred action figures and a leather vest or does one have to trade a kidnapped asian chick for a carton of cigarettes and a bottle of Jack Daniels?
