Does the diversification of a Gaming Franchise's Collectibles bother you?

Both clothing, but also figurines, collector's edition exclusives and other memorabilia. To me at least, a lot of "collector's edition or limited edition" exclusives are highly disappointing based on quality alone. I can think of countless CE Strategy guides, art books, etc that's pages come loose even as you lightly flip through it. We are leaving the era of numbered quality books and it shows. I also see this with figurines. I constantly check reviews and they are riddled with "his arm fell off when I opened the box".

I dunno, maybe it is just me, but I preferred spending a little bit more money for a product that I knew would last more than five years.

Try stuff from 90s-2007? I haven't had any problems with stuff from that time period with art and guide books. Japan books are pretty high quality!

I would avoid figures, they are too fragile these days.
