What have you recently had to pass on & why?

[Boba Ben]

I had to pass on the Tumbler because I can't find it at a discounted price and it takes up a lot of room.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Had to pass on SS Boba. Didn't have enough push room in the budget.

Glad I did though.

Have you looked at the statue, he's looking over his shoulder, the ideal way to display it would be sideways to show the mask the rig and the cutter all at the same time. We view Isaac from behind at his rig 99 percent of the games. His mask lighting up but not his rig makes no sense. It's like if Iron Man's eyes and repulsors lit up but not his arc reactor, thats the only really important to keeping him alive thing.

had to google it in case I was remembering wrong. I agree with your pose ...which again means you wouldn't see the spine?

but anyway.... I guess if this causes people enough grief not to order then its wrong

That figure was a bit of a let down, but. . .one of the most bad-ass Star Wars characters around, and undoubtedly the best version of him yet in 1/6. Was still a pretty essential purchase for me.

Sell your washer and dryer, and put up shelves instead.

Now there's an idea! Clean clothes are overrated! Laundromats are the new hot spot to mingle with others. I can see it now....instead of spending my evening chatting on a board with all of you...I will be dancing in the aisles as I wash my unmentionables!

Baroness PF...

Too many other expenses for me right now with school and having to take the entire summer off to complete my clinical rotation. I'm planning on keeping just one piece on order at a time from Sideshow nowadays. Now is Freddy PF, and next is hopefully the Boba Fett Mythos.

 

[jkno]

Sideshow Scout on Speederbike Premium Format - too big, no space to display it
Sideshow Dewback - too big, no space to display it
Sideshow Palpatine 1:1 bust - didn't like its look and got the Elm-Studios Emperor bust instead

 

[Vaako]

Colossus PF Excl. - had to cancel him to have the funds for Skaar PF and Joker PF Excl.

 

[wax murderer]

Everything,because i'm between jobs and have no money for non-essentials. And is it wrong that I was hoping Blondie jr. would fall on her (admittedly)pretty ass getting out of the laundry cart?...PS

 

[Irvy]

Cancelled the tumbler. Just too damn big to put anywhere right now, even in storage.

 

[Cleveland_Brown]

HT iron man mk VI avengers promo. Just too damn expensive.

 

[FLOSI]

All the Burton Batman stuff... The leaking thing scared me and the Joker looked like crap IMO.

**** Hot Toys.

 

[minivader]

entire HT avenger line. No way to complete it due to price so might as well forgo the entire thing.

 

[VS1976]

Masterchef PF. Something about the helmet I don't like. Wish it wasn't based off the first game.

Elvira PF. Really wanted her but no room. I also think she is on the short side.

 

[choopie]

Alien Big Chap maquette: No room and more than I want to spend for one piece. But it's a great-looking piece and if I had the space, I'd bite the bullet on it.

Terminator PF: breakage issues (sunglasses) and the sticky jacket

EB MiB figures: poor quality, IMO, for the price being asked

Indiana Jones Tanis Map room environment: Love it, but no space for it. And I'm not going to keep it boxed up in storage.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Hot Toys Avengers line.

Just bought a house and furnishing it is a pain in the a$$.

Not only have I passed on a few things, had to sell my LOTR PFs (all exclusives ) and a lot of Hot Toys figures.

Holding on the Sideshow's G.I. Joe line, but when the price increase comes, I may be out of collecting altogether.

Really? I didn't pick it up, but think that Nicholson Joker is about as good a product as HT has produced.

 

[creature4000]

Ring Wraith on Steed PF- can't decide if I want a lotr display anymore.

I'm either going to sell my GTW PF and Fellowship Litho and:

1) Move Thor PF (for full IM display) and get Dead Pool PF and possibly one more. for a Marvel display (plus HT figs)

2) or Buy Rex PF and Rex LSB for clone/ 1/6th Greiveous display

3) or buy Jack reaper and make Horror display (of course we don't know whats coming)

4) sell off LOTR stuff all together and keep shelf as is.

Something about it that I didn't dig... The hat? Hat hair?

 

[karamazov80]

Oh yeah, that's true. He does have a bad hat AND hat hair. But apart from that, good stuff.
