You know statues prices are getting out of hand when?

Sideshow is now offering loan credit (AFFirm)

Because its a first for sideshow at their check out,which it will make it easy for collectors to start taking on more debt.. To stretch out those payments a lot easier..with interest.

It's a sign that sales are dropping off... with unemployment on the rise it doesn't surprise me.

What it does tell me is I need to sell off the rest of the statues I no longer want ASAP !!!

I have been hard on myself in 2020. Sure there has been much temptation. #restraint all the way!
Fact is, i am waiting on 3x Hot Toy's, 4x 1/4 scale statues to ship. That amounts to final payments + 7x shipping + 7x 20% Import fee's

By the end of 2020 all 7 'should' have cleared

THEN i can think about picking up something new
..and there is alot of new pieces out there to choose from.

Although collecting statues isn't my only hobby, I set a strict budget for myself every year. This is just another temptation to the mix when considering how to pay for purchases.

Reminds me of a Jeff Foxworthy joke: “If you have to finance a tattoo...you might be a redneck”
