What’s up dude! Yeah, the market is taking quite a hit too. Some big toy stores are having to close. People gotta make better decisions and this includes the toy stores. Stop being braindead and ordering so many figures that don’t sell.
Honestly, if I were BBTS, I’d stop dealing in the anime pvc market. Not only do they take up way too much space, but they order too many and are just far too expensive for the average collector to justify. There’s a pretty clear market for Hot Toys figures and even those preorders don’t sell out anymore.
I try to stick mostly to collecting Star Wars and Dragon Ball. For Marvel, it’s mostly Marvel Legends and some Figuarts here and there. DC figures are kind of dropping off for me. I only really get the 1/6 scale stuff and even then it’s just Hot Toys Dark Knight Trilogy stuff—and the new InArt Joker. Everything else I collect is so few and far between it’s not even worth mentioning—outside of Resident Evil, which I’m done with after Claire and Ada are finally released.
It’s all become dull and boring though. I go through phases were I’m excited about certain figures, I suppose. Right now, I’m really impressed by a lot of the 1/6 stuff coming out, but just limited in what I can and will buy. I ran out of space years ago. So, everything I get now just sits in a storage closet until I can get a proper collection room going. A very big one.
