I've paid more than I care to admit for some MVH pieces, but it is only because I know that I have a very finite end to this collection. I'll never own 27 Ollies, 9 Krawlusses and enough DXes to field a vinyl army because I would rather share the love I have of these toys giving others more opportunity than to be either opportunistic hunting for trade bait or just being a greedy dickhead.
Hating opportunists is one thing but how can you think people are being "greedy dickheads" when they own toys they like. collectors can buy whatever amount of the same sculpt that they want... I own tons of multiples of sculpts I like. and the ones that are harder to get are in my collection because I put a lot of time and effort into getting them.
and nothing in my collection is just sitting there for trade baits sake either..i think there are very few people that have a "finite end" to their collecting like yourself.
I understand getting bummed out about missing releases a lot, but no need to hate on people that are dedicated to building giant collections, which is a lot of people on this board.
ps. all my toys are in storage..
only till I move, normally all my toys are on display and viewed everyday
