Then there's also distribution/scalper issues that kind of force me to wait on certain figures. It may not be a popular opinion, but I actually really like revision cases sometimes.

As for the urge to "buy now or never see it again", I feel like that all the time with toys. But I've learned it rarely happens the first time you see a toy at retail. For me, it's around the fourth or fifth time I passed on it that I never see it again. But there are a few exceptions.

I still intend to collect one of every single-carded MU figure, so it's still a major commitment on my part: 94 figures (Series 1 -3; no variants/duplicates) at $9.00 USD each comes to a total of $846 USD. That's rent for one and a half months or 3 car payments.

I don't even want to think about the math for Peteparker and Exodus's MU collections... =:O
It helps when you're not a completionist :P So my wallet isn't as bad...but regarding Transformers. I'm trying to get MP Grimlock and Starscream:P And that should complete my collection until DOTM Wheeljack and Soundwave come out.
