How many collectibles do you have pre-ordered?

[Darkseed]

I cancelled most items at the moment I kept:

The Crow
Battle damage Mark VII

Lack of interest in items available :-(

 

[Biojex]

Eh one or two

 

[Solidus]

Wow, most people have 10 or more on pre-order. Do you guys have money growing on trees or are you just going into massive debt?

 

[Solidus]

As for me...

Hot Toys:
Ada Wong
DX 13 Battle Damaged Terminator

Medicom:
Skyward Sword Link

Nothing else interests me at the moment in 1/6 scale. I've also got a few smaller things from Play Arts Kai on pre-order. But, I don't think those are worth mentioning .

Take away the NRD POs and I'm sure the number would halve immediately

If there is no charge from the Supplier for placing a Pre-order then you are simply securing the option to buy at retail.. in some cases a very long time in advance of a request for payment / decision to cancel.. for example, my oldest pre-order was made in October 2012.

.. that said, I would strongly advise against funding a hobby by using a credit card.. for the same reasons that caused the 2007 financial crash.. credit can make it too easy to get involved in an unsustainable, economic lifestyle.. 0% interest, payment plans can be a better option, but remember this may restrict some of your consumer protection (due to PayPal's 45 day protection deadline on a single payment) if an overseas supplier fails to fulfill their obligations.

TLDR
1. There is no such thing as a 'free' lunch
2. If it looks too good to be true.. be very, very cautious.

Well they are scattered throughout the year.
But still pretty fearful...

This. There is not way I can afford 37 items on order at once. It's mostly Play Arts Kai and Figuarts and they're cheap in the grand scheme of things.

I am a Hot Toys addict ('nuff said!)

I like how you used "grand scheme of things" cause most still are quite expensive. Not as horribly expensive as hot toys, i wonder how much do statue collectors spend. I rarely buy statues, i like them but they are typically more expensive at least the sideshwo ones.

Man of Steel: Superman
Eric Draven
G.I. Joe Retaliation: Roadblock

I'm debating getting the SS Exclusive Storm Shadow.

Pre-ordered The Mandarin today from OSB for £168 shipped. Not a bad price.

So this is all I got on PO right now:

I don't actually pre order anything. I just tell the store what I want to be kept aside for me and they let me know when it comes in.
At the movement I'm waiting to hear when my Superman 3 is in store.
