I started cooling off on figure purchases about a year ago. Suddenly duplicity in terms of look/style began to make ones I would have previously gone in one become a no go. 5 years of getting figures tends to do that.
But a bigger factor is the sudden increase in Japanese sales tax and the double application of the Australian import GST (applied to product AND shipping). Suddenly figures going up another 50-100 dollars just makes it too damn much.
If something that really strikes my fancy comes along, I'll get it but I have to talk myself out of effectively anything now.
