Re: Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 33
Not able to pay $25 for something you love is just downright the BEST example as to why said people shouldn't collect high end figures. They just shouldn't. It would just create more problems they don't need in their lives.
You say buying a figure, that is widely available for pre order right now with just a $25 deposit down, and was (wo a deposit) at BBTS -those are just TWO stores of the many- and then resell it to someone that couldn't, for some reason preorder, is just like selling drugs? How? How is it even the same? Can you overdose on Iron Man? Well, with some of the behavior some IM fans were basically begging me to cancel my ebay transaction and just sell it to them, it somewhat does not surprise me.
And what makes you think I don't have the money to buy my figures w/o selling others? It helps, sure. But I could do without it, and VERY well at that.
But if there's people that offer three figures, and in some cases two, PLUS cash, for a $250 figure that at one point was WIDELY available for preorder, hey, I'm all for that. Not my fault.
You tell people who don't have enough money to pay an NRD to find another hobby, yet you can't afford to buy your DC collection without scalping because you can't afford it.
Which is it? Should people who can't afford to buy these figures all by themselves get out of the hobby or not?
Sounds like you can't afford this hobby without scalping, yet you chastise those who can't afford an NRD right away. That's hypocritical.
