My last flexpay is in August

I have the money now but july would be better for me as well in case something else were to come out this month at the same time.
I collect main movie lines(AVnegers, AoU, CW, I consider it an Avengers movie even if its CA 3, Avengers 3, etc), not too much solo movies so screen time is important to me. If I collected just the best representation of each character to build my own team I definitely would have bought the NA version, even over the CW version.

If you want just one SW figure to sort of represent the character as an aggregate whole, I think you made a good choice in selecting the NA one.
I cancelled my PO on the NA SW last night, as I ordered the CW version. Madness? Maybe. It was a really tough decision to make (in the grand scheme of things lol) but the CW won out for me because it's closer to her comic look, it's a little sexier, she wears it onscreen for longer and it's the more recent costume. Of course, there will no doubt be another version come IW time but that's a bridge to cross then!
I can only afford one of them and wouldn't be looking to sell if I had kept the NA one. I decided I prefered the CW edition so went for that.
I can see that becoming true at some point lol
Collect what you like. With HT nothing really holds it's value anymore especially Marvel.
I suppose most figures aren't limited edition enough to sell out and become worth loads?

Maybe that is true in US but here in Europe almost every HT holds its original value (and many times it goes over it) ,EXCEPT for the many many clones from Marvel (BW ,Cap,Hawkeye,ecc). That's why ScarletWitch NA is a good bet,because there ever will be fewer copies of it and sooner or later it will become rare. It will not happen for the AoU or CW versions.

Collect what you like indeed. I like to think that something's value is as much as it's worth to you. Some figures are worth at least retail to me, some aren't worth having even at retail. If you pay $500 for a figure, it's because you felt it was worth that much to you to have in your collection. If you don't pay even retail, you didn't feel it was worth even retail to you to have that badly in your collection.
The one who ultimately makes the final choice, is you. Pay as much or as less as you feel it's worth to you.

Maybe NA SW will be one of the exceptions because of the fewer number unless it doesn't age well and the newer SW are so much better and demand falls(kind of like Golden Age Cap, Midas, Python, Stormtrooper Luke, Stealth Iron Man, SWAT Gordon, Rescue Cap) or it could become a Coulson.
What happened with Coulson??
Well said. I'm not in this hobby for the money. I had admired HT figures for ages so when I was finally allowed one by the other half, it was frankly amazing to have one at last! Now I have 3 and another 2 on the way. If something came out which was very expensive and I had the funds - like Hulkbuster - I would get it but just don't have that kind of money. I don't think paying retail is unreasonable at all or, if it was something I really wanted badly, a bit above - which to be fair would be any HT I wanted to get - but I couldn't justify double the retail price. That makes sense I hope! And if you find something at less than retail - like my Thor TDW - then that's a bonus albeit one you have to wait a year or so for and hope to get lucky!
