[QUOTE="x-pack, post: 439857, member: 4360"] Id be interested to know how modern day collecting has impacted on the mentality of old school collectors Personally I don't like the way prices have gone for a number of reasons. Yes it's inevitable and all our collections are worth a fortune now, but it feels wrong to have these things in the house that could pay off a chunk of the mortgage or whatever. It's gone from picking up a carrier bag of figures for a tenner and hunting round carboot sales, or placing want ads in the local paper to a trawl through facebook or eBay. It's a cut throat business now with loads of ego. The fun side is still their, catching up with collecting mates and the odd show. New films are great. We're a bit spoiled in that department at the minute. It's just ironic that the collecting side is so tedious now. Just money and acquisition. [/QUOTE]
