[QUOTE="Wreck-It Ralph, post: 530753, member: 8648"] When I restarted my collecting and joined the forum I was told the best way to secure the rare pieces I desired was through relationships with other collectors. I didn’t have time to make friends as that can take years so I just got on with buying and found I could buy the majority of what I wanted with no contacts. I am happy to help people who help me but I have not met many people who are as in most instances we are in competition with each other. I can see Edd’s frustration in posting information that other people use against him but the only way to combat that is to not post and keep the information to yourself. I am particularly interested in rarity (opportunity to call me an investor) but there is little to no information on MOC rarity so you have to read other people’s posts to try to gather as much information as you can. I am not sure of any other way of doing this. I presume the catalyst for this post is the sale of the 45C LXW as I know you have a LXW focus, I don’t think you can own a character focus so just because you start collecting it first does not mean other collectors will clear a path for you. I think your collecting of Jedi MOC’s (I presume both 45C and 65 back) with Trilogo bubbles is much more specific and if someone was to collect the same then I can understand your grievance. Buying Etiquette sounds like a great idea but when there are only 5 known examples or less then you are asking people not to buy something that they may not get the opportunity to buy again for years or ever, so I can’t see that happening.
