[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 449711, member: 7379"] Collecting is supposed to be fun and what you buy is supposed to be your choice... However, anyone who's been at this game for any length of time probably knows that sometimes it doesn't feel that way. Sometimes, the 'need' to complete a run or to have 'it' all (whatever your particular 'it' might be!), leads some of us into buying things we might not really want, or at the very least, will never really love. That's not necessarily the same as finding a particular figure or item boring (although for you, it might be). I'm talking about that purchase which really made you grimace when you made it! :? If none of this sounds familiar, then good for you; I applaud your excellent self-control. However for the rest of us, I'm curious to know what has made it into your collection that you frankly resent 'having' to buy. For me, it's always been the 'Imperial Attack Base'. As a playset, it's alright I suppose, but it wasn't in the film and I will never truly love the thing. However, because it's not a mini-rig (I do allow myself not to buy those! :-)), and especially because it can be had emblazoned with that magical Palitoy logo, a boxed one has grudgingly made it into my collection. Am I mad?... Possibly! Am I alone?... I doubt it! :) What's your most resentful purchase? [/QUOTE]
