>>7023008Generally, I always have enough money because I have a seperate toy slushfund. This is easy to replenish because most toys aren't more expensive than 1k, and I only have a deltoff worth of expensive figures of a few key properties. Additionally, I sell off toys that I don't think about when I've put them out of the deltoff and replaced them with something new.
So what normally happens is, if I find a toy that I would like, but is too expensive, I sell the chaff I no longer care about and save up for teh big ticket item. This is only really a problem with certain 1/6th figures for obvious reasons, but most of the time I can easily save for what I want. Keeping your collection to a tasteful minimum helps, and so does having knowledge of the toy market.
For example, if there's a figure coming out that's not quite up to standard, but is of a popular character that will certainly have another release, I can wait for that unknown better figure. Alternatively, Samus, although known for not having new figures, sold incredibly well for goodsmile company a few years ago, there was a chance we would get another iteration down the line, however, it would still be smart to pick up samus because:
a. she's always in demand, because
b. she doens't have much merch and nintendo properties have a starved fan base
So using the knowledge Iw as able to buy her, then resell her later when it was apparent the superior prime version was coming. If she hadn't I would've kept her as the one definitive Samus.
