Quoted from Methos:Seriously. Who cares what others spend their money on?
People here have too much time on their hands.
Well Panzer has gotten over the “toy count” issues.

I lost $1K on each of the two JJP LE's I have owned, and neither was modded excessively. Heck, I didn't even buy them NIB! Had I don't that, I assume I would have lost even more. I think JJP games are great. I had to own two to discover that. I will own another soon if the chance comes up. I will just have to resign myself to the fact that the odds are very good that I will lose money on it, too, when sold.

We'll have to see if your sentiments are that of the hobby in general over time because from about 2010 when the hobby first started heating up until early 2023(?), games were only moving in one direction, and that's up. This was a make money or break even hobby. As a money-losing hobby, it's brand territory for most.

The post Covid reality still hasn’t set in yet for so many newbies that came in during that time.
