To answer this question I wanted to ask you, the collectors and fans, why do you buy those expensive figures and why do you collect them anyway?
Is there any reason that is by all of you the same or does everybody has his or her own reasons?

I hope you can help me with this question
Cool topic for a research question!

How specific are you being? If it's strictly high cost movie figures then I can't really help you as I mainly collect Transformers and Marvel figures which retail around the €10-€15 mark.

Anyways, if you're interested why I collect toys, it's simply because I like collecting things - if it wasn't toys it would be something else, and I might as well collect something I think's cool!
