I think basically what bro orestes does is he bought cheap figs from other forumers / sales items from online stores and sell them at higher prices..

New figurines are just nice, but ...

but? price matter?

by the way, bro orestes, did you try to clarify in the dispute sub-forum for your FFK issue? Having a dispute tag is bad for your future sales, i would suggest you write to the forum admin for clarification.

also, new items updated from my sales thread...

yeah.

The price is awesome that cannot be described thoroughly.

Gosh, another re-run... actually, personally I don't like re-runs coz this will reduce the product value in market as too many same figures are around... sigh...

It's shit anyway, why bother? =3=

yup... 110% agree!! reissue seriously can reduce stuff value ... same goes with transformers ... the limited quantities is what made the price and demands worth the value ..

On the other hand, people who couldn't get the initial release don't have to bow down to scalpers and end up paying and arm and a leg (and maybe two balls) just to complete a collection. I mean, if you're really a collector, and not at all interested in reselling, reissues shouldn't be a problem right?

aiyak... agree for that point also ... hunters tend to be exposed to scalpers ... especially when the magic words come to play; "rare", "hard to find", "out of production" ... these are all just reasons to tag a high price for items ... we can understand for that reason... but of course be reasonable wit the price ... we should help our fellow pvc collectors to fulfill our wishlist ...

I would say, a collector will certainly pre-order the item from the beginning if he wants to complete a collection, so once pre-order over then it should be no more room for the re-run, because this should be the purpose for a pre-order, where there will be no extra products to be seen once approached the deadline.

Personally, I believe having re-run is for those late comer based on popular demand, this would let the manufacturer earn more income but relatively, it will reduce the value for the re-run figure because the item will become not so "collectively valuable" since you can get it easier with more quantity. Just like a classic oil painting, if you mass produce it, then it is not valuable anymore.

Sometimes shit happen, which rendered them unable to even PO the item until late. Re-run is their saviour I also dun want to fall into "rare, limited items" thingie like what happened to the japanese

Huhu but then again, not all collectors collect the items because they are "collectively valuable", some just collect the items because they like it. Take me for example; I'm collecting the Excellent Model Queens Blade figures just because I like them, and I don't have any intention to sell them (I even made some modification to them to ease "things")

yup.. true.. i like the thought of it's only few ppl managed to have this certain fig... and then it's sought after... just like shunya yamashita's shii arisugawa .... demm hard finding her... hehehehe...

but im a bargain hunter.. certainly hardly im buying pvc at retail price ... even for saluting cammy, morrigan, shunya emmaretta .... i really2 hope they will go into bargain bin.. or at least somebody hardcore collector like deckwinder will buy them... and later sell back cheaper... hehehhehe...

>toys
>rare
>valuable

ಠ_ಠ

srsly, you guys believe in this? They're just toys bro. Heck, I lol'd at local toy shops trying to sell Universe/Henkei Prime for RM110+ because it's "rare", when I've just paid RM70 for the same thing from HLJ.

high demand, low supply then the items is valuable. I believe that this rule holds for every items in this world..

Added on April 14, 2009, 12:43 amno offense to bro orestes but an ffk is an ffk and it's an act of irresponsibility.. if you think you're innocent maybe you can complain to admin, otherwise just take this as a lesson..

Like EG said, shit happens. The initial release of Max Fact. Suzumiya Haruhi was so in demand that even with preorders, many were left without the chance to get said figure. A 2nd and 3rd run fixed this problem, and collectors were generally happy. Scalpers probably puked blood though.

Does it actually matter that you have something that other people can't get their hands on? I have Max Factory's Kureha, and yes, there is a certain 'hah I have it and you don't' feeling of pride, but honestly if they did a rerun I wouldn't care very much. My Kureha isn't going to suddenly turn uglier.

But honestly, comparing toys to oil paintings is just wrong. Oil paintings are individual works of art. Toys are NOT work of art (not in the sense of a Picasso, or a Da Vinci), no matter what we figure collectors may say. Our PVC figures were manufactured in a factory in China, but underpaid Chinese assembly line workers, less you forget.

Then the art part only applies to resin kit figures I guess?
