Too many reveals and not enough production. Feels like empty promises from a lot of these companies. And no you may not hold my money for 2 years, those days are long gone. Im enjoying what I currently own and work on my displays which scratches my itch to not have to buy something.

I think it's a combination of things... Product teases, reveals taking too long to go up for pre-order and release. Then there's prices going up, shipping skyrocketing, as well as import tax. Many can't be arsed anymore. It's too much of a hassle. A few more pieces on my radar, then I'm taking a step back.

At the end of the day all good things come to an end. Been collecting for over 20 years product of growing up in the early 80's. Very blessed but getting close to enjoying what I have and slimming down the inventory. Good luck out there fellow collectors.

Love your chanel Mike,Ive been collecting for nearly 3 years now and have really enjoyed the hobby. Ive learnt alot,been disappointed with pieces I've received for various reasons but also been elated with others or bargains I've managed to get my hands on. The prices are certainly going up and the novelty for me has certainly slowed somewhat but im super happy with my collection and certainly have my eye on a few more due out at the end of the year so who knows what the future will bring. Its an expensive hobby thats for sure but i love it. Cheers from New Zealand and up the Irons! 🤟🏻

Shred my man I can 👂 you shredding maiden all the way from New Zealand. Of course we as collectors ain’t going to turn that switch off and stop collecting, I just wish we would not get hit with a title wave of stuff every day. Resale is being killed by it and that is going to price out lots of people in the market and turn this into a rich man’s game especially if you know you can’t fund your new piece with the sale of a old piece.

For me, I haven’t bought any new statues for awhile now. And it’s not like there hasn’t been anything good coming out. It’s just the prices of the statues, shipping costs, and space in my house is what’s killing it for me. I’m learning to be content with what I have. Maybe when my kids move out, I’ll have the extra money and space. Then I can start up again. 😆

Too many Joker statues! Too many Wolverine Statues! Too many Batman statues! Don’t get me wrong, the variances in them make most (but NOT all) of them cool to own. What get’s me is why some characters, like Pennywise, have not been made in 1/4 scale. (Did I just miss that one?). Also, there are a number of X-Men characters that the licensed companies have overlooked…….while they’re making another Wolverine or Batman or Iron Man. Love this hobby because I love collecting to rekindle and re-live my childhood through these great statues, but I’m challenged by licensed (and unlicensed) manufacturers repeating the same characters over…..and over….and over…. Thanks, Mike, for another great video!

Wow your responses always knock me on my ass buddy. Great all the time. But you think these companies are printing the same characters because it’s there money shot, at who is going to make the next best joker wolverine Batman? Cause let’s face it some characters just don’t move. ( sales wise). Even though we would like to see them made.

Its the prices that kills it, at least for me. Other thing is the flood of statues to me there is not one thing that stands out where I think "I have to have this special piece" where I am willing to put money in the hand. When I see something special it's most of the time an older statue you can't get anymore.

Greetings Bro. It may be slowing for us seasoned collectors but I’m sure for every one of us that may be pausing, there are two to three new collectors entering the hobby. Just a thought.

I agree. I’ve definitely been loosing interest, we’re getting to much of the same characters and the prices are getting a bit outta hand. To keep my interest going I’ve been on eBay winning pieces that I missed out on in auctions for way cheaper. This kind of got me back into collecting again. Now it’s the hunt for me and the satisfaction of getting a new piece for below retail price.

The problem is reselling. In the old days, you're selling an older piece to fund a new piece, which is basically over..scams, low ball offers, shipping, fees, etc. not worth the hassle.Then prices that the quality dosn'st justify it either. So now, you have too many statues to display. Game over😢

Hi clutch. You have a point, other than it not being a license piece it is a smart move, especially since resale is dead.

@@MrGizmo5602 it's funny because I think 3D printing is partly to blame. Because everything is digital, there are no limits to how big you can make statues now. They keep making them bigger, people run out of room and they stop buying. Bigger also means higher price/shipping.
