And so I was staring at it thinking about how, how much I wanted it and how it would be awesome to have and then I saw the pricetag and nearly fainted. XD
So, is there any object of your desire right now you'd really love to own but probably could never afford to?
-
haha i immediately went and checked out the premium thor one! Holy mofo!! :P
I sympathise with you.
My current desire would be a new bedroom suite with hydraulic bed storage base. But the wedding and ponies sucked all the funding out of that haha
-
My cameras performance in low light is pretty meagre. I make due, and while I won't let my camera stop me from taking pictures, I'm losing shots because there's so much noise at 1600 ISO. I'm going to put away every dollar I can to a Canon EOS 5d MKIII. It's a $3,500 camera, but it will last me for the next four or five years. It'll be worth it.
-
OMG that Loki *drools*
-
Hey, they do have a convenient payment plan! XD
There's tons of stuff I want but can't justify the price. Maybe when I get a rich wife.
-
I want a Wacom Cintiq 24HD. I've tried saving for it twice now and never make it very far. (It's $2,500 but worth every penny) Maybe when my husband gets his new salary job I'll be able to get one. :)
-
Have you seen the prices of BJDs?? To answer your question, yes there are but I can't justify quite that much on a doll just yet.
-
Wow :)
Someday I'd like to have a Mini Cooper :)
-
Darn you for showing me that website!!!

Same here on the BJDs. Its not that I can never justify the price but more that where I am in life doesn't permit it. I hope maybe once I finish college and get a job in my field I'll be able to afford one.

I share this dream!! IT'S SO AWESOME I MUST MUST MUST HAVE IT!! :>
But I just recently bough a MacPro and there's the new CS6 that I still need and oh well.. I guess the 24HD has to wait for another while. le sigh. :C

In the meantime, I bought a Gateway C-141 Tablet PC laptop that's Wacom Enabled so the screen is pressure sensitive. It's more along the lines of a Bamboo in pressure sensitivity, but I can draw right on the screen AND it's portable, so for right now it's doing me just fine. XD
-
Mountain Boys. lol
-
The Art of The Lion King is something I really want but can probably never have. =/ There's only ever one or two online at a time and it's really expensive. For now I gotta settle for my beat up copy of the miniature version.
-
Ha! was literally JUST looking at this, but I was expecting the price tag attached. Price be darned, I'm a Loki collector and I NEED this in my collection. I have a birthday coming up soon so I'll just be hoarding all my b-day cash for this! :D *so excited!*
-
Oh my! That Loki figure looks awesome. You definitely get what you pay for. I need to win the lottery now. >.<;;
-
I collect X-Men statues and busts and I know they can get really expensive. I'd love to own the Dark Phoenix full size bust one day. I have the Phoenix mini statue and paid $60 for it :) My sister bought me a Scarlet Witch statue for Christmas for $120 and OMG, I was SOOOO happy! I wanted that statue for so long!!
Right now, there's a really nice comforter I'd love to get for my bed, but it's $120 so a bit out of my price range. And of course I would LOOOOOVE to get Mimic, Rapunzel, Ice Crystal, and Baby Sugarcake. They're my pony grails, but so expensive!
-
I want that Arthas they made... The worst part is, I mentally go, "Man it really isn't that much in the long run..." Then again I own several BJDs and their prices have made me numb to other prices. X3
-
Wow, It looks amazing! O__O!
-
I want a friend of mine to make me a lifesize baby pony out of fibreglass. He makes car shells from scratch so it should be fairly easy for him however it's going to cost! Maybe one day. Of course I do want to complete my Mountain Boys, and I need Lambaditsa and Ladybird at some point too...I need to play the lottery...
-
I'd love to have a John Deere gator to ride around the farm path and use for yard work, but having to spend money on other necessities is making that impossible :K
-
My current want/need is a better pc suited for games and art programs as this one is barely holding on.. But the one I had in mind is 1,400$...
Gotta save money. :P
-
Most of the time I have a mental wishlist about as long as my arm with more or less useless stuff, but something that I seriously could do with is a Vespa. I adore the look of them and it really would be useful for getting around, so maybe in a not too distant future..
I mean, just look at the thing!

I was expecting the price to be far more than $219.99 considering how detailed and high quality the statue.
EDIT: Oh, I forgot to add: the statue is awesome! :D

I want this necklace so bad in the amethyst color. But it's $2495. :( You can flip it around and it have a really awesome double dragon design on the other side. I love dragons.
-
Hahaha wow I know what you mean. It's such an amazing figure but there's no way I can afford to spend over 200$ on it XD
Loki though... *drool*

Oh Holy....
That is gorgeous. D:

If we think $200.00 dollars is expensive wait until the figurine scalpers snatch them up and drive up the prices.

Beyla. *sigh* There's a few other BJDs I would love to own, but she's my grail dolly.

(not my picture, it links to the owner's flickr. But this is the picture that made me fall in love with her)
I would also like a new car, mine's about to die!
-
Wow, Zenna! I usually do not like dolls, but.. I love unicorns so that one is mighty pretty! :heart:
-
Wow that's an awesome figure!!!! :cool:
I want the star wars millenium falcon.... but can't afford it right now....

Damn you scalpers!! *shakes fist*

That's the first doll I've ever seen in my life that I like...she's beautiful!

Isn't she stunning? And having those adorable littke G1 babies around her just makes her even cuter! But she was almost $500 online (once you start adding in the price of a face up and body paint) and has been sold out for a while. My only hope is to someday find someone who is selling theirs. *sigh* http://dollsoom.com/eng/shop/item.php?it_id=1251963447

Crikey that's a lot of money! Fingers crossed you find her for a reasonable price soon :)
-
I collect Sandman statues and merchandise, and while I've been really lucky with some of the rarer pieces (cos every piece is limited edition...) I very much doubt I will ever own the bronze version of the first statue. Last time I saw one it was about $2000.
Or possibly even the full size first statue, those are a bit pricey too. Shame because it's the only one of the 'original' statues I don't own. The newer sculpt Absolute Sandman stuff makes him all buff and muscular and he's meant to be this lanky goth dude, not someone who can break your head with his hands :O
-

Hopefully not too soon. I would never expect to snag her for less than $300 at a minimum and I just don't have that right now. If I saw her for that price, it would either kill me to pass her up or I would just buy her and then add to the debt that I'm desperately trying to pay off :silly:
-
Japanese Sweet Lolita (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_fashion (http://mlparena.com/mlp/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita_fashion)) dresses. They are seriously the cutest clothes EVER to me. Unfortunately, they are usually ridiculously expensive. :cry:
-
:another BJD owner wannabe here:
they are soooo expensive :( I'm afraid I will never be able to (well, it's more likely "I won't want to") spend that much on them unless I won the lottery :huh:
I'd also really love to own a decent camera one day. and a classic Mini. but with the Mini, first I'd have to own a house that has a garage for it, I wouldn't want to leave it outside.
-
A MacBook Pro. I've been pining for a Mac for ages but they're just so expensive :(
I do have several BJDs but I consider them to be a sort of investment since they don't really decline in value. Computers, however, degrade in value quickly. Macs have much better resell value than PCs though so at least I'd be able to sell it when I upgrade instead of having to pay someone to recycle it for me like I do with PCs.
Awesome figure, btw. With the level of detail I was expecting it to be around the $500 mark.

Friggin' Ceresedolls Eugenie
She's everything I could ever love; 40cm, mature cat anthro, her face is perfect. Her ears huge and super cute. Her legs are sculpted incredibly well. HER HIPS OMG.
She's also $600 and no longer available for sale.
Sometimes I stare at her and cry a little.

I'm just glad I'm lucky enough to afford the more affordable BJDs though. Eugenie is my grail doll, but I'm not sure if I could even justify spending $600 on a single dolly!

I reaaaaally want a Wolf Link statue... But now I NEED that Loki figure!!
