You have reasons for thinking it'll shelf-warm and I have my reasons for thinking it won't shelf-warm so lets just agree to disagree.
You don't get to claim "let's [respectfully] agree to disagree here", when in a case of the pot calling the kettle black here accuse me of being condescending. I never said I spoke for everyone who had a wallet; I said that this is going to be a bridge to far in terms of cost for many of the people who would normally have jumped at this, as someone who arguably has typically fallen into the "fans with more money than sense" category.

I said it from the perspective of someone who has thought nothing of shelling out hundreds of dollars on actions figures, spent close to $1500 in one hit buying a lot of MISB and MIB MASK figures a few years back, has shelled out hundreds of dollars a hit on boxed G1 and pre-Tf figures and who resolved the dilemma of whether to open my Diaclone 2.0, Legends and Masterpiece figures (where I own almost all of them since MP-10), by buying one to keep sealed and one to open.

If I step back and take an objective look at my collecting, I think it's pretty safe to say that I fall under the category of "more money than sense".

Yet your response was essentially to accuse me of specious reasoning, by invoking the very group of fans that I'm a textbook example of, which is in and of itself, highly patronising and condescending.

Yet when that predictably blows up in your face, you have the gall to accuse me of being condescending?

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
