Yeah, same. I’m ordering much less from Hot Toys these days. I have two on preorder but that’s it. I’m mainly ordering from InArt, Soosoo, and any other third party company that releases an offbeat figure that might catch my eye. And I’m building some customs. For the mainstream popular stuff that interests me it’s mostly InArt now.

Similar,

My tastes are mainly Horror and Sci-Fi and I have never had a huge Marvel need and SW is not really making the figures Id buy.

I also now like figures that may require a bit of work. Kinda like a starter kit figure, that needs some work.
 
Over $600 CDN before shipping & customs for the new Hot Toys Chewbacca is just kinda gross to me. I just don't place that high a value on these figures...

Can I afford it? Absolutely.
Do I want to? No.
Chewie, or plane tickets somewhere? Plane tickets wins.
I wouldn't be able to look at Chewie in my collection without feeling slightly foolish- & that's where the hobby stops feeling "fun". So, yes, unfortunately being "priced out" too 👍
Completely agree. I mean Blitzway is offering 1/4 scale Anakin and Obiwan statues for around $6-700USD (depending on where you order from) using real leather that it's hard to justify a smaller scale purchase with pleather.
 
@Wor-Gar I'm thinking much farther ahead. Imagine aliens visiting Earth and discovering someone's 1/6 dolly collection long after humanity has wiped itself out of existence. That collection might end up in an interstellar museum somewhere.
RIP pleather
