I know it can be tough to risk missing out, but from what I've seen over the years, you miss out but you don't. There's always going to be something bigger and better coming down the line.
For example, combiner wars Voyager Sky Lynx was an incredibly hard find. Could have had one for $60, which was double retail. I passed. Couldn't justify it. Then, a couple years later, Commander class Sky Lynx comes along. Better figure over all.
As for something like Eternia, I probably wouldn't necessarily regret buying it, but after the thrill is gone, I probably wouldn't be doing back flips that I did buy it. It just becomes something big that I have to find space for, and something valuable that I have to now take care of. And over time, I'd probably want to move it along. I have that issue with a massive pile of TFs I've just randomly purchased over the years just because. After a while, you realize when you have too much stuff, it's not you that owns the stuff anymore, the stuff owns you.
Honestly, for that price, I think if I really did want Eternia, I'd instead consider just make one of my own.
