I agree with Funkyjedi's line of thinking...
It's strange because I've been collecting for over seventeen years, and in that time I've seen a lot come in....and a lot go. It's sad because I look at my collection now, and how it's dwindled away over the years and wonder what it would have been like to never have sold off any of it.
Sometimes, I had to sell an item to help pay bills - other times to help fund another prop I really wanted at the time.
There are a few that I really miss, but one day perhaps I can get them again.
It's a tough hobby - especially when you're an average joe working to make a living. This hobby can get quite expensive, and often times you have to bite the bullet and turn your back on great items simply because they exceed your financial situation - the most recent in my memory would be the newly released Pulse Rifle replica. Blessed are those who were able to afford this item - even on the payment plan, but so many fans had to let it be because of the steep price tag.
But I look at it this way - I got started in this hobby because I wanted a 'perfect' (in my eyes) replica of the Hoverboard - and all these years later I finally have one. If I had to give it all away and keep one, it would be the Hoverboard because that is the ONLY one that every truly mattered to me...
