Reader’s Question:
I’m looking to buy the Shoto Todoroki figure from My Hero Academia’s “Consecutive Stars” lottery. Do you think the price will drop after the re-release?
Chasing Collectibles: The Shoto Todoroki Figure Dilemma
Oh man, do I have a story for you! So, I recently found myself knee-deep in the world
of anime collectibles, particularly My Hero Academia. You know how it is—you see one figure and suddenly you’re questioning every life choice that led you to this moment. Anyway, a friend of mine mentioned the Shoto Todoroki figure from the “Consecutive Stars” lottery. I mean, who wouldn’t want a piece of that cool character sitting on their shelf, right? But then came the million-dollar question: “Should I buy it now, or wait for the re-release?” That’s when my buddy, who’s pretty savvy with this stuff, chimed in with a solid piece of advice. He said, “If you think the current price is high, I’d recommend holding off. Prices will likely drop once they re-release it.” I was like, “Dude, you’re probably right.” Yet, the temptation was real! I found myself scrolling through listings, trying to resist the urge to hit that ‘buy’ button. It reminded me of that time I went to a stand-up comedy show and arrived way too early, thinking I’d snag the best seats. Instead, I ended up munching on overpriced popcorn for what felt like ages, talking to the guy next to me about our favorite bits. Funny how sometimes the anticipation is just as enjoyable, right? Thinking about it more, I realized there’s something almost poetic about waiting—like letting the universe do its thing while you enjoy the ride. Plus, I could indulge in some snacks while I wait! I mean, who doesn’t love a good snack break? This whole process made me reflect on being a dedicated father too. I want to teach my kid the value of patience and making wise choices, even when it comes to something as seemingly trivial as an action figure. It’s like a life lesson wrapped in a collectible! So, if you’re in the same boat as me, maybe hold off on that purchase. Enjoy the anticipation, and who knows, you might find a better deal soon! What about you? Have you ever faced a similar collectible dilemma? Or maybe you have tips on snagging the best deals? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments!
