Has anyone else noticed that whenever you get into something, EVERYONE else wants it?
I was helping a friend several years ago with his toy store when I came across some M.A.S.K. stuff. I asked if I could have some of it. Then I decided to go ahead and collect them all. I went on ebay and found many pretty cheap. Then, when I started buying they all shot up. What was once $15 went to $50! Then when I got it all, prices started leveling off. I sold it off last year to someone here on the tank and now the prices are super low. I think this is what is happening to the 1:18 world. A few people start getting stuff, sellers take notice, buy up the stock, up the asking prices ad Viola! Expensive ass hobby. I don't know, maybe it's just me. |

So I know I'm not alone, what one thing do you most regret not purchasing? I recall the same time I bought my F-18 in early '07, I passed on a Jolly Roger for under $100. What in heaven's name was I thinking? It makes me throw up a little every time I think of it. |

Bidding $180 for a $40 toy did seem like a premuim... but when that crazy NSA guy and his deep pockets set their sights, there's no hope for us regular poor schlubs ;)

Anyone ever see this pic of an early P51? I found this awhile back looking for something else.

That's exactly why I passed on the helos on clearance at target. The wife was looking at me like "What are you going to do with those monsters". I felt silly at the time and now I again wonder why I cared or what I was thinking. That sale was my #2 regret. Fortunately I got over it a week later when I picked up the M1A1 and several hummers, but no choppers.
