As usual Jesse seems to have taken the words right out of my mouth. I agree wholeheartedly with him. Especially when it comes down to the Scalping vs. Selling cstoms argument. I understand that someimes you need to sell one or two because you no longer have room for them or you no longer really like them, or I guess if some major finacial crissis came up. I'm not a fan of people who make figure just to sell them though, even if you say "But it is just to fund my hobby." As Jesse and Dave have already pointed out, that is the exact same argument. And from what little time I spent at the FFURG booth at C3 I saw all the effort Jason, Doug, Tim, Ash, and all the other guys put in. It was really cool to see guys that loved their hobby so much and were willing to spend so much time and effort trying to get other people involved.

That being said there are almost always exceptions to the rule. When CHEWIE sold some of his customs a little while back I wasn't in the least bit offended, he is such a great guy to have in this community and has done so much for it, and the figures were sold in lots of 5 for $25, he probably lost a lot of money, and that is based solely on parts and supplies, He had a good reasons to sell them though, so I have no reason to hold that against him.

Do it man what better way to restock on your supplys and support your hobby that you love so much. this way when you buy $60.00 start wars toys with the money that you made from a custom you don't feel so bad.

As Jesse has already pointed out, I really don't see how this helps the hobby, in fact it probably hurts it, as well as collecting in general, a la the recards and repos. Like Dave said it really is taking advantage of those who can't paint.

BTW what are "start wars" toys?

Ok. Now we are getting silly!

You know you want one!

Thanks for the great feedback guys yeah he's different but that's what make him so cool.

LOL!
