Probably not but I can't afford a Ferrari either so I go to the Citroen dealer - there are items for all budgets I guess but if you do want foreign delights and you have a smaller budget then you will need to make sacrifices - Ben for example enjoys owning a modest number or foreign MOCs including Trilogo miscards, PBP and Ledy but his sacrifice was to clear out all/most of his Kenner and other common MOCs.
I go to the used car dealer :lol:
I think for most collectors it is still possible to get most moc for a good price if they buy kenner ROTJ moc and maybe some ROTJ palitoy :? but many of the others are to expensive I think if you want a full run :? and not want to use 50 years to complete the run.
The same with figures kenner/palitoy variants can we all still get for good prices, some last 17 is crazy but in time they would be possible to get.
But if you want to collect foreign figures and make a full run, then again I think many of the prices is ****ing crazy if you want them complete with correct weapon.
The same with foreign cardbacks, it is not even easy to get a full run of tri-logo cardbacks, I still miss the Madine cardback
Last month a solo poch carback sold for £745, ****ing crazy https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/37-41-Back-Gratis-Sticker-Han-Solo-PBP-POCH-Star-Wars-Rare-Bottom-TEXT-no-AFA-/183033397570?hash=item2a9da40142%3Ag%3AcBQAAOSw4EhaUPDP&nma=true&si=xSMwx0aqPmQJsAuEWOVcTlw%252BleM%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
I do not know how many money people have to buy for. But I think many collectors maybe have between £50 and £200 every month. So with some prices today it would take more than 50 years to complete a full run of some foreign items, I think :?
What do you think ?
