And you know what, I'll likely sell the damned thing too. See what you haters have made me do? Now I'm after some evil profit. Good God!! What'll happen next? Will I open a MISB Fortress Maximus for a custom project? I just might. Don't force my hand, people! I might deny some anal collector somewhere a MISB TOY.
There, that's out of my system. Time for a drink. White Russian and some GTA IV. That'll help.
Don't feel bad, I've been stock piling 08 BBs since they're all over now. Also used the Hasbro discount codes to load up on that Animated crap.
Guess what I'm doing with all that stuff
Somethings I collect to collect, and it's not for sale, these sets for example, but then I realized, why not take advantage of the market the way it's been taking advantage of me?
Very much agree...
I've ordered 3; one to open, to to keep MISB, and one to sell.
I started collected right as the Classics weren't being found in stores any more,
and because I enjoy them so much, I wanted 2 of each.
Guess how much this has cost me????
I don't even know for sure, and I don't think I want to.
But 2 Soundwaves and 2 Megatrons (voyagers)
were somewhere around $180-$185.
To get 2 Magnus/Skywarp 2 packs was a total of $72.
I also know I spent over $40 to get 2 Bumblebees.
Those alone are getting close to what I would've spent to get 2 of the figures I have if I could've bought them at retail.
*I hadn't started collecting while they were in stores,
BECAUSE I didn't even know about them at that time.
It wasn't a situation where I had seen them and said, "Nahh, maybe later".
So me selling 1 C.C.S. will only make up for a small fraction of what I've had to dish out to get my Classics.
And I don't even have a Rodimus or Jetfire yet.
