Guest alex Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Seriously though, what is wrong with these dweebs? Pay off a chunk of your mortgage or something. Don't spend thousands of pounds on a little plastic figure that you won't even take out the box. 86012[/snapback] I'm surprised you all think like this to be honest. It's no different to people who buy any other investment that gives them pleasure. Like a cellar full of wine you'll probably never drink. Or paintings that live in vaults. Many of the fine electric guitars from the 50s and 60s are now "too" valuable to play and many just get put into glass cases in Hard Rock Cafes and rich Japanese businessmens' apartments. I don't share the enthusiasm for these toys but I can imagine if they make you happy you could get into spending your money on them. 86475[/snapback] I can understand your point, but the things you mention are a bit different surely, works of art and even rare guitars and bottles of wine are unique whereas these are just mass produced bits of plastic that happen to be valuable because some sad fucker has kept in the box. You collect them, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manufacturers must absolutely cream themselves that people will buy twice the normal amount without them having to do any extra work to shift the units.
