The high cost of exclusives makes me not want to open them and makes me want to sell them. The parts are available to do them as customs, but by the time you buy two or three figures for parts, a cast item or two, and accessories, you could have 40 bucks in the project and it not be factory paint, potentially have paint rub, and probably no named stand. On the other hand, with a custom you can do things differently if you liked.
If you can make something similar or better for less money, go for it. I've been selling off higher end exclusives, because they're often way overpriced, in my opinion. And i did have a plan to make customs of most of them, but kind of lost interest at the moment. Lack of painting skills, and having too much fun with BFS figures.

Yeah that Dialtone in particular is a stinker. I was so happy, when i finally got one. But now, years later and having seen so many better customs, i hate that piece of crap.
