I recently got a conversion info, but canceled.
Because the Street Fighters are picking up steam again, my priority lies on them.

Also grating doesn't really fit, not exactly a sound here :P

Your view of the world isn't the only view of the world, and just because you see something as a personal truth, that doesn't make it a universal truth that applies to everybody in all situations. Maybe someday you'll wake up and realise that. Until that time, at least do others the common courtesy of not speaking for them, or painting bland and inaccurate pictures of people you don't even know. Thank you.

Heh, if you don't think anyone looks at the world through the world then their own eyes I think you need to reflect on a lot of things :P

Sure, other people may well get those same pieces for cheaper down the road, but good luck to them I say, it doesn't make me regret my own purchase, nor does it take away from the enjoyment owning those pieces has given me over the years.

If I had to worry about the long term value of every piece that I purchased I don't think I'd end up buying anything. Which wouldn't be very much fun at all. To each their own though.
I agree

For example...why does anyone buy a brand new car that loses 10%+ of its value the instant they drive it off the lot ?

How about a brand new guitar ? A TV ? All very expensive items that instantly lose value.

Statues shouldnt be purchased because they *might* go up in value...they should be purchased because someone likes them.

if they do go up in value, thats a bonus.
