I wouldn't call it crap but I agree with the sentiment. To be fair though, a lot of people get into hobbies like this (toy collecting) just to spend money and just to collect *something* and if they can't readily find something to buy they'll spend the money on whatever they can find.

I agree with this theory regarding collectors. I never, ever, understood the "thrill of the hunt" even though people seem to love it. Always felt like a waste of not only time and gas, but also money driving around all over creation looking for something you might never see. Online buying is the way to go for me. Simple, easy, no muss, no fuss and more importantly, no wasting of my precious time. Shit just shows up on the door step and I carry it inside. Easy.

I customize way more than I actively collect and that's not going to change. I've wanted Marvel superhero figures in this scale ever since I was a wee lad and what I can't buy I'll make - and what I make I enjoy way more than just buying something any day of the week. I haven't even bought half of 2016's product and honestly don't have any urgent need to get what I haven't picked up yet, though I'll pick it up the rest of what I want eventually.

Speaking of collections...time for some collection pics! Well, custom pics anyway.
