  Everything is just <b>too</b> expensive nowadays. I remember all my 1/4rth scale statues costed about 400-600€ each. Now it&apos;s 800-1000€, the cost of an old 1/3rd scale statue. It&apos;s impossible.

  Me and my friends got out of collecting statues and 1/6 scale figures. We have been collecting for 15 years. I personally sold every statue except for one. My friends are keeping there&apos;s. I have moved onto Lego. I enjoy building them and they display well. The statues that are coming out look great but I lost the passion for collecting them. It&apos;s not that they are too expensive for me. That&apos;s what collecting is about to me. Passion.

  That&apos;s the problem with companies like XM that outsource their products to intermediaries. As a consumer, you&apos;re always scared that because XM is doing poorly financially, the intermediaries can&apos;t convert your pre-orders, NOR refund you because they themselves are having a hard time being refunded by XM. So your money just ends up &quot;lost&quot; so to speak, for possibly years.

  I absolutely love this hobby. I&apos;ve been in it for around 15 years. My first ever piece was a Bowen Gladiator Hulk statue, about 17 inches tall. I have collected many pieces from many companies since.. currently I have a few Queen studios pieces, including the 1/3 scale Hulk coming in the next couple of weeks, and I have lots of ecc pieces and a couple sideshow pieces. Sorry for rambling on I&apos;m just very passionate about the hobby. It would be heartbreaking to see it actually die off.

  I stopped my statue collection years ago when the sideshow prices suddenly &nbsp;doubled for no reason.
