I must agree with Tina, I enjoy collecting but I am not gonna pay REDICULOUS amounts for it (i.e. 1k+)You know, collectibles don't have to be like this. You don't have to be obsessive over them. You don't need to trade or sell them for excessive prices. You don't need to follow Lassy's price guide. What you do is up to you. The obsession people have with them is a recent development - it hasn't always been this crazy.
I enjoy collectibles. I'm in Europe (cos time zones apparently matter!), yet I've still managed to get the full Japanese set, the fruits, all of the birthstones, three candies, most easter eggs, and others. I've not paid stupidly high amounts for them: I've either got them directly from the shop myself; or at retail price or free from my friends. It's possible to do things this way (mostly buying direct from shop yourself) as long as you're patient. e.g. it took me a long time to acquire the full Japanese set - and the last piece was gifted to me from lynn105. Between restocks I wasn't obsessively looking for potential updates or stalking the Marketplace - I did other things while I was on here like play Animal Crossing, play mafia, and chat on the IRC. There's more to TBT than just the collectible trade, y' know.

There's only been one restock.
The bulk were purchased by a single person, I'll tell you that much. Curious to see if they'll show their face or fear the angry mob.
I know I'm talking about the next one
Yeah, just stating. I know how much you want a green one!
I want to do a "One of each candy give a way" around Thanksgiving.
