I wouldn?t say I am losing my interest but they have gone past what I feel I want to spend on any given piece. So I am looking elsewhere more and more.

It's understandable to explore other options when the price exceeds your comfort level, allowing you to find pieces that align better with your budget and preferences.

It?s not so much being out of my budget, it?s that when you?re looking at $800-1k shipped after taxes, I could have a weekend getaway with the family for that. It gets hard to justify having this one statue to add to a room filled with them. Then I ask myself just how much I love character X,Y, Z, and for the most part, I already have the characters I love. That?s why this hobby is in such a weird place. There?s already a ton of options out there. Shoot, I?ve owned multiple?s of this guy already.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

That headsculpt of AG Obi-Wan is probably the best SSC has done in 1:4 scale.

I'd have to disagree with this. I think the "lean" pose makes sense, given the intensity of the wind he's facing.
Your example of saying he looks unstable is the equivalent to someone examining a still frame of someone running and showing no feet in contact with the ground.
