Much better QC too. Returns were unheard of.
As for me, I’m also at the tail end of my active chasing, barring a couple here or there. The last 18 months I have chased down a lot of pieces and will be able to pursue this hobby in a much more passive way. I’m also about out of space so it was coming to this regardless.

Yep, space is my limiting factor now. If I find something I really want, something gets sold.

Really sucks, this hobby is so expensive to begin with.
Luckily for me I have about a handful of statues left to add to my collection, including grails and I'll be done.
I'll always keep the door open for a special piece down the road that comes out that I fall in love with.
But I'm over the hill on building my collection.

Agreed and same.

Batman Collector did a episode on this, he stated it was Ant comment that gave him the idea. He use like the idea on so many statues and companies, now he's not fan of the idea. so he stated what Jerry had stated, too few factories, too many statues

I agree there. First thing he did was shut down the pipeline and gas & food went up. It trickles down to everything resulting is less disposable income.
