>>6513604"Better" in what way? It all amount to what you like and what you want. If you want to eat meat, a steak is better than an orange. But if you want something refreshing and juicy, the orange is better than the steak.
Most of the figures I gave were gathering dust, piled on each other in storage, or deep in a box. So I gave what I no longer cared about to get something kitch, old, and rare. Plus the appeal to have an almost complete collection of rare figures in one go was too tempting to resist.
Did what I gave is "better" in term of technology and design? Definitely. Did what I got was way more satisfying for ME? You betcha.
