I have low to no patience sometimes when I want something. Add to that if it's something that is hard to find then I'm doing mental gymnastics on whether to stick it out and wait for a possible better deal or just bite the bullet. The joys of being a collector.
it's really rough testing what your threshold is on what you're willing to spend on something or if you continue waiting 💀 sometimes i'm not in the mood and can reason myself out of it. but like you said, mental gymnastics and somehow a justification comes up and i just buy haha. do you have any regret purchases? (i try not to but sometimes it happens bc of those weak collector moments lol)
He's beautiful! The shading and motion are gorgeous-- especially the hair! For me, my grail is the scale Gumi from Kotobukiya (the one with the stars on the base). I was able to get her nendoroid, so I'll keep waiting!
he really is! 🥰 ohh i just looked up that figure since i'm not familiar with it but she's super pretty! i was looking on MFC and some of the comments from a few months ago are from people who have found her for a really good price on eBay, Amazon JP, or AmiAmi preowned. so there's hope if you want to keep a look out through there 👀🤭
im glad that you could get the figurine and even though it might've cost a lot, i hope the happiness is worth it! my holy grail figurine? probably the Kusuriuri figurine from Mononoke, but funny enough it's actually on rerelease preorder atm!
the happiness is def worth it! 🥰 for all expensive purchases, i buy it, pay it off, and don't look back haha. i don't want to get into the mindset of regretting it if i see it being sold for cheaper later, etc. i haven't heard of that figure but i looked it up and was going to say i see it on sale! (and then i read the rest of your comment lol) 🥳 i'm going to assume you'll pick it up? if you haven't already 👀
