It is only money, and if you enjoy the figures, what is the difference between 15 dollars, which is what TVC Star Wars goes for, and 30?
I do like the Planet Green Valley, are they even available anywhere?
I find I'm not really spending more, but just reallocating to fewer figures.
My big line was Marvel Universe and I might have 300 figures I don't know. So while still at the tail end of that and its mass-retail price point, I was balking at Acid Rain prices.
But since moving to these premium lines, I'm not spending more, maybe less, as there is less product. So I'm paying more, but buying fewer things that I appreciate more.
That said, there are more and more premium lines. But I just dip my toes in strategically, where I was all about quantity on the Hasbro stuff.
Planet Green Valley got to production on a six-figure first wave I think it was, but wasn't satisfied with the production quality. So it all got really delayed as he convinced the factory to redo stuff, which is expected by year end.
The creator's a real artist though and was seriously bummed out by the toymaking process, so I don't know if he'll continue or not. I really hope so, as he showed off some really next-level prototypes.
