@@flavioshouseofcollectibles haha you got that right. Thanks for watching dude!

[@martinporter5219]

I enjoyed the discussion on $$$, being smart w/your $$$, a uncertain economy, etc

[@thejediknightswatch]

@@martinporter5219 glad you enjoyed it! I think it’s not talked about enough in the community

Catching up on the second half of the replay as usual! My Thrawn is coming in today and I’m so excited, today’s work day is gonna drag. Prices are rising now to a point I can’t keep up anymore. I’ve been tearing to get out of collecting for some time, not entirely but not nearly as much as I’ve been doing before. Got a few more pieces left I’m aiming for and I’m set.

[@thejediknightswatch]

@@Gioven740 thanks for catching up with us! Where did you get Thrawn from? Thursdays are always rough for me lol. Running on 5 hours of sleep and maybe slightly hung over haha. I don’t ever want to get out of collecting but I def need to slow down, which sucks cause as a KZbinr I want to do as many reviews as possible. The economy just isn’t great right now, with so much inflation!

@@thejediknightswatch I got my Thrawn from toysbuyingagent. There and kit are the only two places I pre order my “I absolutely need this as soon as possible” figures so I’m not paying an excessive markup. And yeah I’m reaching a point where I am just about out of space and the figures I have I don’t want to part with in the slightest. May swap a couple here or there for potential 2.0 if they are worth it to me but other than that I’m hoarding what I got!

[@darthkibbles93]

Agreed with your comments about Game of Thrones figures. I have a good deal of Threezero ones but they aren't great. Was hoping Inart would get some out

[@thejediknightswatch]

@@darthkibbles93 need HT to get the GOT license! Otherwise we are waiting for InArt for another 50 years

When it comes to sixth scale manufacturers, Hot Toys has never been a top notch manufacturer but has ALWAYS been much, much more expensive than other companies. And it's for the simple reason that they are the only manufacturer of very popular lines that everyone wants.

@@daniel_sc1024 very true!

The Chewbacca price is crazy …I think that stuff like Inart competition has been great for quality improvements from hot toys but it’s also come with a overly hefty price for the consumer. Hot toys saw that people are willing to pay insane money for the Inart figures so they’ve copied. It’s never been a cheap hobby lol but it’s the kind of hobby where you want to collect and once that isn’t possible for most collectors on a somewhat regular basis, peoples interest will go elsewhere and they will start to tap out unfortunately. The rate of price inflation isn’t correlating with people’s pay check inflations. There also needs to be an entry point for younger collectors and these prices seem crazy to most people who don’t collect high end collectibles already and have accepted their fate lol so long term it’ll be interesting to see how sustainable it is. I know there’s hono but can’t say I’ve been super impressed so far. I love the hobby and I’ve been buying less and less, still enjoying what I’ve got. Still grateful they even make these things but just voicing a concern, no hate towards these companies or the people who can afford the steep rising prices and don’t have a problem paying up. More power to you. Rant over 😂
