Default Re: What do you find the most frustrating about collecting

I sometimes wonder if I am the only one who actually likes figurines included with CEs. Maybe because I've always liked collecting figures/toys/etc of things I liked, ever since I was little... this kind of does it all in one when there's a CE with a figurine. yay!?

anyway, things that bug me.

- Like foreverflash mentioned, when you get into a new series and then want something collectible from it, only to find everything costs like $902940214812902804 dollars and/or is impossible to find (this is me and Jak & Daxter series atm)

- When someone buys something I wanted for the sole purpose of reselling it. It almost feels as if I've been taken advantage of when this happens...

- Crappy packaging. why would someone mail a collectible ANYTHING inside a flimsy cardboard box is beyond me. Or even worse, just wrapped in paper. Yes, I totally want my international shipments to arrive and look like they've been run over by a herd of elephants. You can't trust any postal service to not kick the crap out of a package, its all about packing things properly.

- GIANT BOXES. I have limited space, as I'm sure most everyone does. I don't know what I'm going to do if any series I collect for release anymore gigantic CEs. The Resistance 2 CE to me is a perfect size. It seems like they just keep getting bigger and bigger.

- As others have mentioned, the 28794147128579 versions of the same game across every different region possible.
