Do we care if Hot Toys hold their value?

Well it would certainly be nice if they didn't depreciate like a car

Looking at these pics the shoulders seem kinda wonky, almost disconnected from the body. Does it look that way in hand?

My number one rule is to buy with the intentions of keeping, buy what I THINK is cool and not worry about resale.
If you buy with concern of resale you'll usually not be thrilled if you decide to sell something.

Who said anything about a $172 PF? I think your brain inserted the word "half" into my sentence.

I buy to keep as well. However when I make a purchase and commit to buy something 9 months in advance, life has a way of shifting in those 9 months in many ways. I don't care about hot toys holding their value so much for resale, however when nearly every hot toy aside from exclusives ends up 20% or more off in a few months, it makes the retail prices seem even more outlandish and pointless to pay up front. It bothers me that I spent $270 on a silver centurion that I can buy now for $200, whether I care about selling mine or not. Instead of feeling the need to jump on these figures lest you pay through the nose, the norm is fast becoming overproduction and decreasing value. If the trend continues I can sit on my hands and buy the whole AoU lineup in a year for 60-70% of what people are paying now and I'm pretty patient when I feel my money can be saved by waiting.

all good. Although now PF's are $470 so maybe I'm still wrong. I'm just wishing they were still $400.
