To hot to handle

I just looked at the new Young 1/10 bust on Ebay and its nearly $100 AUS this price is getting out of reach for a lot of modellers/painters .....................well it is for me. Anyone else feeling the pinch. This isn't a pick on Young Miniatures, just the price of models in general.
Curious on thoughts............... or it just may be that I don't earn enough.

Can understand where you're coming from. Being the main source of income for my family has ment I have much less spare hobby funds than I'd like. I'm now far more critical and selective of what I buy now but if there's a piece I really like I'll save some photos on my phone and check it again a few times after the hype has died down to decide if I really want to paint it. Most of the time I'll let it go, but now and then I spot something and start saving to pay the price.

For example, the Young Miniatures Daimyo bust. One of their most expensive. But once I had it I could tell why. Some are just worth paying that bit more for.
