I had a massive brown shipper come in Friday and went like this...
Wife: I didn't know you were getting another one, the UPS guy scared me and woke up the baby
Me: I'm sorry, I thought I told you he was coming in
Wife: Nope, looks big, who is it
Me: Its Sauron
Wife: Hmmm, I'm gonna finish dinner are you going to open him up

5 minutes later

Wife: Who is that again
Me: Sauron
Wife: He is much bigger than your other ones, how much was he
Me: What was that
Wife: How much was he (looking down at me skeptically while I'm sitting on the floor adjusting the armor)
Me: Oh, he was $600, a little more than usual but I thought he would look good in my room, I made payments on him all year.
Wife: Yeah, I agree, there is a lot of detail, lets eat

Bullet dodged. True he was 900 but this way everyone is happy, a half truth per say

Man talk about dodging a bullet...

Super cool of her to be ok with a $600 purchase though. I too have to stretch the truth with my wife but usually I can't be in the $600 ball park.

Congrats on the great statue pickup though.

Wifey and I have personal spending accounts so fortunately I don't have this problem. Course, I gotta save for birthdays, Christmas, valentines, and anniversaries so I can't go too crazy.

Lol. My exact life except mine goes.

GF: "how much was that?"
Me: "what?"
GF: "How much was that statue thingy?"
Me: "oh Skaar, he is... ( 5-10 minutes of explanation hoping she forgets)"
Gf: "that's cool. What did he cost?"
Me: "I got lucky, a forum member sold him to me for 250$, but he's worth like $500 now!"
Gf: "wow, sell him. Just kidding he looks so cool"

Haha

Bullet dodged...

I see a lot of us use the improved resell value to justify our purchases to our GFs/Wife...truth is lots of people probably wouldn't understand the reason anyone would spend so much on these statues but I'd like to think for the majority it isn't about the perceived end dollar amount of a statue. These statues are far more than that. They are a link to our past memories growing up reading about these larger than life figures that we dreamed of being even if for just one day. That's why we are willing to spend what we do because at the end of the day each of our individual collections are a reflection of us.

 

[Ondi]

For sure man it just helps justify it to my partner but even she is fully aware I will never ever sell them. She has even told me so

Yes. Same here. Never selling unless I'm replacing. Haha

It's just for purposes of our niece and nephews breaking them or some ****. Little ones can be statue devils. Been thinking about getting a gun safe for mine.

 

[Ondi]

Good idea Savage I think I'll get a gun safe to put my nieces and nephews in aswell

Haha. I need to get a new house with a man cave already! Ahhhh

That's why I like this board so much. I never talk pricetags with anyone but the wife because they don't understand.

I think the only people who truly understand why we spend what we do are right here on this board.

Haha right? I legitimately want to get into a new house so I can have a man cave for collecting and movies... That's it.

I don't think even we truly understand why we spend so much on this stuff. One thing never to do in this hobby is add up how much all your Pre-Orders are going to cost combined

Or work out how much you've spent on your entire collection to date whoever said you couldn't afford a Ferrari?
