I can imagine, based on the single figure cost.
Sad thing is that in a few months you could easily get that for it.

I'm still sitting on an Anvil from last year with no takers, so it's no guarantee...

Beginning to fret that I may have paid slightly above market for a Sky Patrol Sky Striker last night...but it looks like by only about 10-12 bucks or so. I can live with that.
If in two weeks it's going for $50 less than what I paid, I may kill myself.

You definitely advised me. But my lust for sky patrol chrome and my love for that mold AND finding out that the detail is painted on rather than stickers told me BUY IT NOW YOU FOOL so I did.

As long as you didn't bankrupt yourself buying it (which I doubt is the case), then you're golden. Or chromed... something. It's all a great big stupid game. None of us can accurately predict how things are going to shake out with this stuff. If the price bottoms out (witness Freefall's price doing his namesake since last night), you still paid what you thought was a fair price at that time. The reverse could also be true, and the big shiny wing thing doubles in price. Or triples, or quadruples... do I regret selling Sparta for $50? A bit... but at the time that was considered fair. It even sat in my BST for a while at that price. Everything can go either way.

Good news, Hellion, ToyWorld's not our only option... so it would seem.

I love the IDEA of this "Legends of the West" line that has concept art at Joecon. I mean, classic Cowboys, I am here for it. But how on earth are they gonna get away with CLEARLY using some famous IP/likenesses? They can call that character the marshal but if that ain't Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp I'll eat my hat.

In the end, it comes down to what it's worth to you because it's never really about the thing itself, but the experience of the thing. Searching for it, buying it, finally getting it in your sweaty collector hands and then dicking about with it whenever you want, for as long as you want...all of that is where the value lies. It's what the entire experience is worth to you that matters. Otherwise, if we were just buying toys, none of this shit would make any logical or fiscal sense. |
