How do you guys cope when there's a toy you really want, but it's no longer being produced and your only hope of getting it is to pay out a ridiculous sum of money on the aftermarket?

go earn the ridiculous sum of money so you can buy that toy you really want. Use that as a motivation to get a better job with higher pay.
don't waste time thinking about what you can't do and just do what you can do.

you know stuff like that,

I didn't get that Figma either, i'm just going to wait til the 2.0 comes out.

>How do you guys cope when there's a toy you really want, but it's no longer being produced and your only hope of getting it is to pay out a ridiculous sum of money on the aftermarket?
I cope poorly because i'm usually the primary reason why I fucked myself over in the first place. I might skip a release or decide to wait it out then the pre-order is sold out, then it's slightly more expensive but I still don't buy it then it gets ridiculously expensive. I had ample opportunities to buy it but I didn't.

So usually the figure is dead to me at that point but every time I see it I hate myself for being so dumb. So I typically buy doubles or triples of anything I MIGHT want then just sell them off at bro prices (comparatively speaking to rape aftermarket prices) to get back what I paid into them. That way I make sure I get what I want. Not really an option without a lot of money though and even I still miss a few things here and there.

Just keep your fucking autism in check. I've missed out on shit I've really wanted, but you know, because I don't think it's worth what scalpers are asking(and I don't want to feed them), I simply got over it.

It's not that hard.

I haven't locked in to selling them yet. If >>5818539 is correct about 2.0 guts, then you're better off waiting. It's not SP after all

berserker guts may even get a 2.0 but it's not as needed as black swordsman ver. however gravity kitten [sp-064] is getting a standard release version (which is currently usd150+ on ebay)

I understand what you're saying. Do you have any figma examples of this? We're in a berserk bubble right now due to popularity cause by both the anime and the manga getting a regular release.
I'm thinking if I should sell my BS guts now and buy it back later lol. I wouldn't expect to lose that much at all, but it's fun to speculate.

>>5819996
You should be alright. I think with Gravity Rush they didn't expect it to be popular enough for it to be a part of a line. Guts' line was already established so they would've planned the release more deliberately. These are just my onions though.

Recently dealt with a seller that put their toys up for sale then changed their mind, and more recently a bitch who's been ignoring my messages for 3 days now most likely cuz they're trying to sell two figmas together even though her listing doesn't say jack shit about preferring to sell them together.
