Re: What's a fandom thing you just don't understand?

Some figures are pretty to look at, I suppose. Sometimes you want your favorite character on your desk to gaze at. The "mint in box" aspect I don't get. You bought it, take it out and enjoy it. It's not really going to be worth a fortune in the future.

My bf, and apparently others in toku fandom, cycle through buying the current season's merch/toys, then selling them in a year or so for new stuff. I do not understand this at all. Why buy it at all then? Is it temporary collector's mentality? Compelled to buy all the lockseeds? I stopped buying him $60 figuarts as gifts when I realized he would just sell them off in a few months.

Most people do the same thing with other stuff too, not just figures.

I go through my closets and bookshelves once a year and get rid of anything I haven't read/worn in the past year. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy them when I had them and was actively using them, it just means that I'm not using them any more and would rather have that space for newer things that I am going to enjoy.
