[QUOTE="Nita Nitro, post: 538110, member: 7495"] I’m not a prolific vintage collector, instead I have tended towards picking up items as and when I had the money, and seen them at a price I would pay. I have a few carded vintage figures, not many, and what I do have has never broken the bank, (although when I paid £6 for a carded Klaatu in the early 90’s, it did seem a lot at the time when compared to my weekly earnings!). I just feel that some of the prices are too ridiculous nowadays, and it doesn’t matter if I could afford to spend the money on this stuff, or not, I cannot bring myself to spend a fortune on something just because that’s what someone else would spend. I wouldn’t enjoy that experience of feeling ripped off. It may be that I never add a Yak Face to my vintage loose run, (he is the only one missing, plus a load of weapons), but I would rather that than pay a couple of hundred+ quid for a figure I never even knew about in the 80’s, and have no nostalgia for. I do find that my collecting goes around in cycles, and it seems natural that there are times when each of my collections goes on the back burner for a wee while, so there’s probably nothing out of the ordinary there, especially this year! :) [/QUOTE]
