I'm not one of those who had to have it first but i do have a small yet growing collection of Phasma figures. I really like the design and at the end of the day-even though her appearance was forgettable-i have a collection of cool looking figures on my shelf. A cool design is still a cool design and the decision to buy a figure shouldn't hinge on the character's status. Doing so, imo, is kind of speculator-ish.

At the other end of the spectrum, the few times I've felt like I've gotten burned on buying figures is when I'm a big fan of the property and buy the figures even though I may not actually like the figure itself.
