James GalloI don't think it is hypocritical at all. I have seen the rise and fall of a dozen or more toy/figure/statue lines over the years. You can not compare something that has been around for 12-15 years to baseball cards that have been around over 100.
You can't compare things that have a real value to something that was specifically manufactured to become the grail piece. What happens when the blue hat figure comes out on a different card next month, it happens all the time.
This guy spent 13+K on a piece that could be re-issued tomorrow, it has no real basis for value and there is no doubt in my mind that he has already lost money on it.
I actually have a lot of experience with this type of thing and when you think about what he could have gotten that would have real staying value for that money its nuts.
To each their own but anyone with experience in toys I think will very much agree with me on this one.
