I'll never lose interest as well, but unfortunately reality is that prices will one day reach critical mass where I have to say "That's it". It's already done so with polystone statues and PFs for me. Unfortunately, I see it happening in the future with the 1/6 Joe line. I've already had to bow out of anything Hot Toys releases.

I can no longer buy anything and everything I want like before when I had no kids. Children get more expensive, not less, as they get older.[/QUOTE]

Meh, I've axed Star Whores, so I'll buy every exclusive Joe Sideshow puts out until I deem them absurdly expensive (ATM, SE's bordering on "ridiculously" but not absurdly). At that point, I'll just bash the ones I want. There were some outstanding customs pre/concurrent with Sideshow (MANDO/Ski), I've no doubt the tradition'll continue long after Sideshow has dropped the line like almost every other 1:6 license they've had.
 
Kids or no kids, the prices keep a lot of folks from getting everything they want. With each increase, it becomes harder and harder to justify the spending on what is more or less a hobby. And while I'll never argue against more frequent releases, I'd hate to miss out on certain figures because I really, absolutely can't afford it. Much like Dino, there have been a number of HT releases that I've had to pass on that I might have otherwise purchased if not for the price. I love the Joe line (I'm hopelessly hooked), but it's going to be real tough come release time if/when each figure is $200 or more, which is the way the prices seem headed. It probably won't deter me, but it certainly won't make it any easier.
 
I have three kids and it is true, they are expensive.


But I just went out and got a better job. There was no way between heaven and hell that I was going to let my children defeat my collecting habit.:monkey1

Ski-Man needs to make a good custom quick kick because we'll never get one from Sideshow
 
More important than anything else it's good to see that this SE still doesn't have an ES or low quantity bar. That makes me very happy. :cool:

Me, too, as I'm seriously thinking of cancelling now to see in-hand pics first.

Also, this might be the one that breaks my Elite streak.
