[QUOTE="HothJim, post: 299233, member: 5824"] I think this depends on what you collect, and for how long you have been collecting. I am a new collector, so for me prices are what they are. I collect mainly loose, which has allowed me a way into the market and has proven a rewarding introduction to collecting. I do/would pick up the odd loose vehicle or even small boxed stuff if the price was right. Just stuff I like the look of basically! I keep a track of everything I spend so it is easy to look back over a month and judge for myself whether I have overspent. I do feel for the more experienced and/or MOC collectors though. I can see myself adding the odd moc of focus or favourite characters over time, but trying to complete a run must be tough on the wallet. Will the burble burst? Doubt it. Will we really be sat here in 10 years time saying "It is so much cheaper to complete a MOC run today than it was"? Just can't see it happening folks. One thing I have noticed in my short time as a loose collector. Anything Leia is getting pricey on Ebay.......I'll wait and buy from the forum when I have some cash! [/QUOTE]
