Hot Toys Sandtrooper and Dewback 1/6

[Wor-Gar]

This might be one of the few HT pieces that actually is worth something in 20-30 years.

But then you have to ship it. Is someone going to pay $150 or more to ship this thing on top of the price? I can’t sell my sealed 89 Batman deluxe for cost because of the shipping price. Once people hear that price they back out and I’m getting exact quotes for shipping.
It does look great in that beskar kid video.

It’s even worse for statues. I am having buyer’s remorse over a custom Obi vs Anakin statue I got, but it’ll probably cost $400+ to ship the two giant boxes it came in.

The craziest collectible I ever purchased was the Hot Toys '89 Batmobile; showed up in a box the size of a small fridge. There was a point I thought I'd never sell the thing, but during that first COVID lockdown was when I lost most of my enthusiasm for maintaining an elaborate collection and off it went -- but I got lucky because it was a local buyer, so no shipping necessary.

With the cost of shipping these days, I'd certainly think several times before committing to a big, unwieldy specialty purchase.

I think the Dewback looks great and I was tempted, but only for a while. Personally I'm glad I didn't encumber myself with this one, but I don't collect much anymore. Jury is out on the Sergeant, though. May pick one up since it did turn out great.

Shipping has definitely changed the game. I splurged for the XM Prime and Megatron, but these days I’m pretty picky with what gets added to the collection.
