well i think after discussing it with a friend, my father 2, who i gotta say collects memorabilia and models as much as me lol..have both said, why not get both..if its affordable to do so then get the official and custom figures...bcos lets faceit, they aint guna be the same, and the amount figures that are out there that we buy which always have some thing wrong with them in our own opinions. so who knows. but i think im still going for my custom set, they willl be very different to what the official figs will be, and i like the idea of that.
jst my thoughts. and if u thrown away ur gear ill have it..lol...!!
