After receiving Aragorn, it pretty much confirmed I would not pre-order Legolas or other Inart release due to increasing price. Love the proto of Thorin but I feel I cannot do $750 Canadian or more (price of Legolas) on 1/6 figures. Current $400+ on HT is hard enough to swallow!
LOL for me - who time to time re-imagines scenes that may have happened - well, Aragorn can't hold anything except what InArt designed for him, so I sourced some ASMUS hands. Still waiting on the TOPO cloak. Then I thought about it for a while, and sourced ASMUS' Aragorn vambraces. Yes, the InArt ones are very nice. But I got paranoid thinking what if they peel, I need a backup.
So, like, if I am just going to turn around and kitbash my pricey fig, what am I doing $$$$. I'll get Thorin if they make him, but if that doesn't happen I'll be content with my ASMUS since that's an awesome fig - in pristine condition even after all this time. Sure, I'd love an improved Legolas sculpt, but not at InArt prices.
Current $400+ on HT is hard enough to swallow!
Yep. Like there's always FOMO, but lol I never thought about, when I started collecting, that sure, "better" stuff would come out, with a price to match.
I didn't think about the 500, 600, 700, 1,000$+ prices
. Er, nope. At least most of the time.
