And you know what I've tried to show them to 
fellow collectors.. I get the same responses! 
some of the fun ones were:

"Well its not the same at all!" 
(you right the images are nicer and cheaper) (lol)

"I wouldn't pay those prices for a piece of 
plastic!!" 
(uhm ok, but you'll pay hundreds if the plastic 
has paint on it??!! hypocritical ne?)

or I get the classic looking down their noses at 
it!! (I love that one)

Now Im not saying all collectors do this, this is 
just what I have encountered while attending 
conventions. @_@ heehee
