老實講句
Urban Toys 熱潮已過
甚麼 Michael Lau, Eric So, Three Zero...已成歷史
eBay 都炒唔起
好多人想放走 Michael Lau 的舊作...
而竟然還有人去做差不多的figures...(design真係好似 Michael Lau, Eric So既style)
唉...
Of course collecting toys is different from reselling toys for profits. But considering the amount you are investing in toys (or in another words the selling price asked by the manufacturers), we should also consider its resale value as part of your expenses as we never know if one day we lost interest in the toys and want to let them go.
It is just like when you buy an apartment for your own use, you will also consider its resale value in the future even you just plan to use it by yourself. Does it mean you just want to make profits? No. Maybe you have better income and want to move to bigger/better places. It is just common sense and wisdom in using your money.
Are you actually working as a designer? Cuz you sound like one. Anyway, "learning or getting inspirations from the existing designs" is NEVER an excuse to copy others. If one is so passionate to design, if one puts in so much effort in his/her design, why he/she would ever think of copying or imitating others? That's just one lame excuse!
Star Wars, Alien, Predator, Iron Man, Batman....every design is unique and original. Do they need to copy others? No. If you need to copy others in your "learning curve", it just shows you are not talented enough comparing to other master artists. That's it.
