It's inevitable that a better version of pretty much everything will come out eventually.

I used to collect HT stuff, but seeing the line they are going here..i might just wait until they are done with re-releasing figures.)

Not to mention that the first part of your post is very contradictory to your whole argument. (which part?.. about the cars compare to collectibles?)

You're saying there is no point in buying an HT figure because you know there will be a newer improved version coming down the line. Yet you point out that it is perfectly understandable for someone to trade in their car for a newer improved model. Why does the car philosophy not work for HT figures?
That's because cars are 2ndry needs for ur life. Collectibles are 3ry needs. Maybe that's the case for me..i dont know about other people. .

Its very simple, buy the HT figures that you think are worth owning then sell that one if you feel the newer one is better. No one saying you have to own them all or any for that matter. Yes, i agree with u in this matter.

Buying HT collectibles is the same thing as buying anything else. Show some restraint and patience and you will enjoy the things you spend your money on. Completely agree!
Peace out bro!!!
