I totally understand where you are coming from. But 80% of collectors not caring about the value of their collection, you are dreaming. But thank you for calling me pretentious. I cited what I do for a living as context to why I believe what I do about it. This specific conversation was about figure values. It's not the only thing I care about or think about. It was my first instinct because like the DC 4" multiverse line that was over quickly, people need to know that these figures will hold their value before the bigger collectors buy in. And I get why you would think that, but that was my business hat. As I mentioned, I'll be buying the animated style figures to go with my BTAS DCC figures. Yes, these figures holding their value is how I justify this. If you don't care about them holding their value and just want them because they look cool, i understand that and I'm not putting it down, nor am I calling you pretentious. That is what I was simply talking about in the moment, so I apologize if I came across that way.

Destroying the market? Seriously? smh Wow. Glad you have money to burn. And if you think Hasbro is re-releasing their most valuable figures to 'give everyone a chance to acquire them' you couldn't be more wrong and it is a slap in the face to collectors and the money they invest in building beautiful collections. This is the sentiment shared by vintage car collectors, star wars collectors, miniature train collectors, and every other collector on the planet and rightfully so. Hasbro rereleases them because they are constantly assessing ways to squeeze every penny they can out of their lines that they can. It's a business to them and they take advantage of people like you. But from a business perspective it's also the quickest way to kill a line. Since they dominate the 6" market and are they have a monopoly for 6" Marvel figures in major retailers, they can. (major retailers don't include comic stores or specialty stores of that ilk). Just stop thinking you know what is in my heart about these collectibles. I simply raised to the point of collection values among my first reactions to this line.
