True that. I'm not that young though. I'm just short...![]()
I'm really feeling this way lately. I had been collecting all deluxe and voyagers I can get my hands on from Generations and Prime (and before that HFTD, RTS, DOTM) while also tracking down a few G1's and getting the latest MP's and I have a whole bunch of preorders for upcoming toys from these lines along with a few expensive 3rd items (TFC not-Superion, FP Bruticus, WFC Omega Supreme) but lately I find myself wondering if I should keep these preorders or just cancel them. There's a few reasons I guess but the biggest let down for me was High Moon Studios statement that they will not be making any new DLC. It's really got me sour. I haven't opened half my last acquisition and just have no urge to. What to do.... :-(
i think every collector goes through it.keep ur pre-orders and ride it through as u know as i have before that u'll be kicking ur self when your love for collecting returns.
I had a similar feeling when I saw voyager class Starscream from Prime on sale at BBTS for $15. My initial reaction was 'woo-hoo' but then I thought, 'Do I really give a enough of a crap about this character to bother getting him posted over? I already have him in deluxe size in the 2-pack with BBee anyway'. 12 months ago I would have lept at the deal, now I just couldn't be bothered. And that is a very rare impulse for me when it comes to my beloved TF's.
That said, I did pre-order wave 3 of the FOC toys and a Masterrpiece Sideswipe![]()
I don't see how the game should affect the way you enjoy the toys. You can have a character who's awesome in the media, but craphouse as a toy (e.g. TF Prime Airachnid), or a character who's awesome as a toy but crappy (or almost non-existent) in the media (e.g. G1 Hubcap). I mean, it's not as if killing of Sludge in FoC has in _anyway_ changed my opinion about my G1 Sludge toy.![]()
