At least with the car you can drive it almost everywhere, show it off to chicks, etc. A Boba Fett doll is probably a rather large turn-off: 'Hey, why don't you come to my place and check out my 18 grand Boba Fett doll' doesn't really have the same ring as 'Hey, I'll give you a ride home in my shiny new car'.

Paying 1 million for a 1000 Hp glorified Audi TT is as well

A rare piece of plastic is still a piece of plastic. It's only a toy which shoots a plastic thing.

Uh...this is machine produced. Art is produced by human effort. This thing looks kinda tacky anyway.

a car still is chunk of worthless metal and plastic :fuck:

IMO it's very expensive and maybe worthless, but it's a collectible item. Just wonder why Action Comics #1 (Superman's first appearance in comics) is valued at 1,000,000 usd :shock:

why some old ferraris are valued like gold? it's the exact same thing

Effort was put in to make cars, and as I've said before, much more enjoyment and satisfaction can be had from driving a car.
