Indeed. The flip side of that is when you've regularly exercised the willpower to conform the senses to reason, coming back to this forum and seeing the normal hype for most pieces, feels so over the top for me. I mean I still have a pulse, and I can get excited over a piece, but I don't care anymore to invest in that kind of energy into the preorder phase.
At this point, my tastes are such that most pieces won't make the cut, unless they satisfy most of my most personal criteria, which discards all external factors like, character B has to be bought because I already have character A, or "I'm glad Company even made C-list character at all, buy 2-3 copies to support production of the D-lister"
One character statue is good enough to carry the franchise or theme for me. Having things on preorder isn't a thing for me anymore. Catching up on what's new, a few days a month is enough for me.
The sculpt, paint, scale, price has to come together as always. No second hand, not worth the headaches, unless it's old stock from a reseller. If I miss out, there's always something else coming out.
