TFC 21 Blaster is $48.99 + S&H at BBTS. If you slow down purchasing on e-bay, you can definitely get this. It's not due out until some time next month.

E-Hobby Twincast is $71.99 + S&H at BBTS. Yes it is expensive, but this sucker doesn't come out until April. If you really slow down on TF's from now until then, you definitely can get this.

It's dropping $$$ on Six-Shot & other e-hobbies that gets ya. Re-focus on TFC's and BT's and you'll be fine.

 

I understand completely. Sometimes I look at all of mine and think " this is awesome." Other times I look at it all and say ":wtf: have I done." The reason I haven't finished up the TFC's is because I just don't want to spend the money on them. If I do buy something it's because I really really like it (ie Pepsi Prime) and buying everything that comes out just because it's there is just plain silly to me now. You gotta remember that this stuff is all for fun and shouldn't become a financial disaster.

This is so true. :hsd:

 

eHobby Twin Cast is completely sold out from eHobby themselves. I have a feeling they're going to kill the run at 800 or 1,000 figures.

 

The manipulation is just so artful...it cannot be imitated...

 

That's why I ordered 2: 1 for AFA and 1 to keep. :happysad:

 

There's a smart man. AFA it and wait for the readily available supply to dry up, then cash in big time.

 

Exactly. Live within your means, but don't expect to buy a figure for $50 and sell it for $300 in 2 months. You can say, "I'm buying 2, one to sell later" ... fact is, when you get your 2nd one ... you'll have a hard time selling that one too. By the time you "profit", you've already spent 100X that on other figures. I'm completely against buying doubles unless it's cheap. (75% off, buy one get one free, TFC for $20, etc)

Buy what you like and keeps you happy. Never buy something you really don't want. (Beast Wars Returns, Star Wars, and such)

 

True. If you expect to profit on doubles, be prepared to hold on to them for a year or two before selling them.

When you get to the point where the "catching up" is done, you really don't buy anything anymore. :thinking:
