Life-critical dilemma

Post Reply New Topic

Yea, my life depends on it xD
I used to build from LEGO bricks, but backed off that hobby cuz I've reached to that point where there was no build w/o getting new parts, and so it got far too expensive. 'Bout year ago I've returned to bricks and get Cobi tanks for decorational purposes (Perfect loudspeaker ornaments!). Cobi used to produce crappy self-destructing LEGO bootlegs, but eventually got better and nowadays brick quality is the same as LEGO (While retaining far lower price tag)

Back on topic,
They used to have Hetzer set (Actually three - 2382, 3001, 2558 - With 2558 (most recent) being on my mind), which I'd really like to get as Hetzer is something that kinda defines me, like a logo. It however got EoL'd (presumably year or two ago) and sellers who have it price it twice as much it used to cost (~400PLN (Around $110) for 550 parts, for comparison I got my IS-2 with little over thousand parts for 250PLN)

It's not terribly much, nonetheless I see I'll overpay. OTOH I want it 'cause Hetzer.
So yeah, should I screw it and get it anyway (Because Hetzer) or let it go for now (And hope they introduce another set or other alternative comes up)?
Possibly there are plastic / metal models, but I'm not really into models (Brick models are far more serviceable and usually more functional)


^ Assembled 2558 example

YOLO
That's what I'm saying

I clicked on the yes button

If it fits the collection Parameters .....and supposably out of production ....... and you can come up with spare monies .
and it provides you some pleasure ! Then yes

^ Funds ain't a problem really, just that feeling it's overpriced as hell.

I see so far I should just ignore that and get it, but let pool run as I won't buy it right now anyway (Got some stuff to do first)

I look at it this way. If I'm going to obsess over something for a long time, time is money you can't get back!
Might as well spend the money to have more time to do other things with my life.

:>

I think you should buy it.

^ I did and assembled it yesterday (I hope photo from my last post does show up). Since me being me I already tweaked it a bit to hold a machine gun like true Hetzer does, too bad tho that even "cheating" with glue it seems to be not possible to make for it an asymmetrical armour like one present in original

Anyway, thank y'all for help with decision! :>
