I've been collecting for years and I'm to the point where sometimes I don't know why I still collect anymore. I just imagine it must be so freeing to stop and get rid of it all. Just kind of curious what my fellow collectors have going through their heads when it comes to these thoughts

Absolutely. I had a good MOTU Origins collection but never displayed it. Found myself just feeling it taking up space and I’ve been selling it all save for just 1 figure I think, and right now I think I just have 4 figures from a variety of lines that I like the designs for, and that’s all. Switched over to fantasy miniatures, which is a more interactive and less space-hogging hobby, but not less expensive for sure. But I’m much happier getting rip of all that stuff and prioritizing what I like. I got into action figure collecting during the pandemic and grew to realize I just don’t enjoy it like I did those first couple months, wasted too much money. I don’t regret selling my stuff at all, and I thought I would feel like an idiot.

I get similar urges every now and then but only towards the toys that are geared more for display than play, such as MP scale Transformers and Bandai's chogokin shit. I've been progressively selling those and every time I sold one I felt I was going to regret not having the figure soon afterwards, but so far I miss absolutely none of the ones I've sold. I've come to realize that for me, having an impressive wall-wide display of dozens or hundreds of 10-12" figures that you have to be careful when messing around with is vastly overrated, and instead have been getting more enjoyment out of the smaller figures.

I want to but I don't wanna figure out the taxes on the sales. My area requires sales permits for a pretty low minimum, you have to do a separate filing, it's super annoying. I got close to throwing a bunch of stuff on ebay last year but I just didn't want to deal with it.

I've lived long enough to know not to sell or throw away anything that was at one point important to me.
I regret selling my NES to buy a SNES and regret selling my SNES to buy a Playstation and then selling that to buy a PS2. Each console and all the games. If they're not bringing you joy pack them away nice and neat. See how living without them makes you feel.

I'm at a point where I'm afraid of losing it all and I wonder if I'd actually an hero if I did lose it all. Collecting is my main hobby, I've put a lot of time and a ton of money into my personal library. If I quit collecting toys I'd just go back to retro games or tcgs or movies or comics. I'm a collector, I'd collect old caps if they caught my eye.

I mean if it's gotten to the point where it doesnt bring you joy, maybe it's time to stop collecting? That doesn't mean you have to sell everything you already own, but maybe it means it's time to move on from collecting action figures for a while. If I a few years you suddenly want to start collecting again you can.

Bro if you can't even own a house right now do you think you will own your own dead hole, and also get somebody to put all your plastic trash inside, damaging the environment in the process

2070's people will get thrown in covid graveyards/transformed into compost. Overpopulation is a real threat

I have such a great idea about thread about Christmas Impulse Buys where we would talk about our christmas spendings (because i impulse bought a really expensive thing few days ago and was wondering if others did the same).
BUT it appears that my country IP is blocked from creating threads (im in Europe).

So yeah - here is a hint. If this mass IP blocking is because of Retroblasting then he might come frome my european area... if this how it works.

PS:
If anybody wants - pls create such thread. I can't do that.

Or, maybe, people could just quit something without making a formal declaration for all to hear.

The fact that all this whining is happening in a shitty spam thread makes the whole thing an even more pathetic spectacle.

The arms race is quite odd to see and easy to fall into. I can't compete with anyone here but I can enjoy what I do get and as a result my collection isn't a carbon copy of every other person's. As far as community goes, lol, as much as I wanted to believe it exists it doesn't. Some really cool people in the generals though.

Shit thread, but genuine question.

How do you deal with stuff that you can't seem to sell out? I'm downsizing stuff, sold off the ones that are "rarer" and more sought out than others, but I think I've reached the point where some just refuse to sell.
