Right now I'm glad I have almost all the collectibles I want, and that I didn't overpay for any of them. I have just a couple pre-orders, and have enough time to save for those. At the same time, with the upcoming economic crisis, it might be better to save the $ for more important things in life, and even if still collecting, is wiser to wait and get the items when someone sells for less, because of the same crisis. It will be a buyer's market soon.
I said it before many times and on many forums and groups, collect what YOU like and what YOU can afford. Never use the money intended for other things (family, school, mortgage etc.) for collectibles, never enter in debt for a statue or a figure, better save some $ over time, that be sorry. These collectibles are not really an investment either, in the world market they are a small niche, nowhere near comparable to other things like art, painting collecting for example. Wish everyone all the best in the times to come.
