I hear you Vrac. With today's pricing, we all have to be sure of what we PO. You being an international buyer only makes these decisions even more difficult. I knew you would end up loving this PF though. It's absolutely stunning. Those are some phenomenal looking pics you took by the way.

Yeah dude I think I am done with the hobby to be honest . The second hand market here is dead in Australia, so I can't even sell the weak pieces in my collection to fund ongoing. Even then i could'nt pass this one up.

I think I have Punisher and the new logan on pre order but that's it.

Yeah, I've been at this for awhile myself and I'm nearing the end as well. I have a few holes in my collection that I want to fill and I'm done. Need Martian Manhunter to wrap up my JL lineup and a fully sculpted classic Cap for my Avengers lineup. Oddly enough, I'm a MASSIVE Byrne era X-MEN fan but only have Wolverine and Phoenix out of the 6 characters I need. I'm picking up the new Colossus PF but still need Storm, Cyclops and Nightcrawler. It's those last 3 X-MEN characters I need that might take some time to release. They're the ones that might keep me in the game longer than I expect.

All that said, I understand exactly where you're coming from. The aftermarket is a joke when selling our old pieces and pricing is pretty much out of hand already.

I got my eye on Gambit too and I MUST have that EX head.

A Byrne era 1/4 display is my dream.

I have no more sideshow pieces on preorder. I have a few Tweeterhead, Hot Toys, and a couple customs then my man-cave will be pretty much complete. After those it will probably have to be something special to get me to order.
