Re: The Siege Ultra Magnus pic, seems like Voyager class
When I first started collecting MP Scale Transformers I was able to justify higher costs because the rarity held their resale value. It held it's monetary value for it's collecting supply/demand status.
Then the reissues started coming. And it essentially devalued original runs.
So this isn't a gripe I have with other collectors being able to acquire the pieces they want, it's a gripe I have with how the companies use a supply and demand quandary to illicit high price points, and then devalue their own product by changing the supply parameters later on.
Of course that's so 2017 and here we are now in 2019 all trained like little monkeys to actaully pay 700 bucks for an Optimus Prime to replace our 300 dollar Optimus Prime. Ya.
And the phrase "Take my money now" is starting to wear off. That's so 2018 ��
Now it's the Elitism driving sales. The belief that you won't fit in with the crowd if you don't boast about spending foolish amounts of money on toys.
It's not really that cool to encourage companies to price gouge just so you can once again be that guy who manages to get that figure not everyone can get.
