I don't think this is going to kill collecting as it goes on in other hobbies; art, clothing, comics, etc.

The difference here is that these 6" plastic toys generally don't hold their value in the long term as new releases tend to make the old releases less valuable.

I can certainly understand the anxiousness/nerves over missing out which is a by product of FOMO but we as collectors need to scale it back a bit when our collecting makes us anxious over not getting something. That is problematic in ourselves and does drive up prices no matter how we cut it. These prices do not tend to sustain themselves either so we as collectors are making those decisions to hurt other collectors chances at owning the same set. I will not be buying the Hellfire set for anything above preorder price and I have learned to be ok with not having something. That goes for any other Marvel Legends figure or set. IMO, other collectors really need to do the same.
