SS pieces CAN be investment, this has a good chance but not for many years I believe. High ES, not enough Joe fans willing to plunk down that amount of $ but once sold out that is when prices increases. Some statues can be sold for 2-5x its retail price. I buy them because I like how they display, I have a toy room and I have a statue and art room, the toy room is not as popular to spectators as the statue and art room, looks more like a show room and it is well received.

1 - They definitely are more impressive for display. You can walk into a room and immediately notice a statue for it's size and detail. That just doesn't work as well with a jumble of toys. 2 - For quite a while now I've been into the concept of quality-not-quantity. I actually want to have the least amount of items possible while still being an active collector. Sideshow products can not be bought on impulse. I have to truly want every piece I get. 3 - Honestly...I would like to move away from toys in general. Statues simply come off much more adult so my house doesn't look like a child's play room.

good reasons! I love my toys, but don't have too many loose, statues are awesome, detail action figures cannot get.
No you definitely cannot buy impulse, I still have that problem once in awhile, usually when I am at sdcc I will order alot, luckily once you order it takes many months before it comes out and the excitement for those impulse buys tend to die down a bit, but some I still end up purchasing, I usually lose interest and sell them, sometimes getting a couple hundred more than what I paid for each one...I still do have impulse buys but the sculpt is so well done I find it hard to sell when the time comes to downsize. |

Just took the plunge and placed my order. Can't wait for another expensive toy to sit in my closet until I get more room. So sad.
