Oh yeah, I'm not a TF fan from back in the day or anything. I wasn't able to buy any of those classic toys from way back when, so I've got to pay the "collector's rate" for them which I'm happy to do in most cases as long as they're within reason. There's value in them and just because I wasn't born in the 60s or 70s, doesn't mean someone owes me Shockwave for $19.99 or whatever he cost back then anymore than someone owes me the first print of Amazing Fantasy #15 for 12 cents. I've paid bigger bucks for the G1 stuff but I think it's fair.

I'm always happy to help out other collectors whenever I can, but within reason. Everyone deserves to be able to get something at the current going rate or a fair price. I've been that guy who couldn't find figures which were still in retail circulation and was made to pay scalper's rates. It sucks and I while I could grow bitter and add to the problem by doing it myself with the recent shift of Spider-man line figures in Canada's favour, I haven't.
