Got ROTF Voyager Megatron? SS Megs has made him obsolete.
Bought Classics figures of the Ark crew? All obsolete.
Bought MP Optimus? MP v2 has made him obsolete and- wait, wait... MP v3 has just made v2 obsolete. Stay tuned for v4.
And 3p is so much worse. Paid $200 for XTB Apollyon when he came out? He’s now obsolete 10 times over and you can’t sell him for $50. His replacement is obsolete. The replacement of his replacement is obsolete.
Bought FP headmasters? Ahahahahahaha OBSOLETE.
Whatever you just bought is going to be obsolete and worthless soon.
CAVEATS AND DISCLAIMERS
I’m not really complaining here. Well I am, but I know it’s stupid to.
- there will always be better figures, one could wait forever and never buy anything
- better figures are, well, better. That’s a good thing.
- my older figures don’t stop being what they are just because newer, better figures come out
- this hobby is never an investment, we will always lose money
- those older figures brought me joy etc etc
- and so on
I wouldn’t change it. I wouldn’t want it to stagnate. I like new and better figures.
But I am also painfully aware of the thousands of dollars that are now worthless. And the hundreds of better figures I can’t afford and have no space for... unless I sell old stuff... to a fandom that doesn’t want it.
Rant over.
Beautifully said man!
Couldn't agree more
