Toys sucked then because it was all flash and no substance because of bad sculpts, worn features and 5poa. Also think about how you earn these toys. Do you still contribute financially fairly or more for the family? Can you still afford nice things that aren't as self-indulgent as a toy, like a huge TV, the occasional party or even travel? And finally, look at your collection. Are you buying because you need them, or because you want them? Big difference. If you're buying because you're a fan, then you're not really collecting right. Otherwise, if you buy because it clicks with you personally and checks all your boxes, then I'd say it's justified. I only buy what I like. I don't complete teams, and I'm not a fan of everything I buy. I still have the common impulses and remorse, but at the end of the day, I'm in a good mental place because I don't let my hobby take over anything more important.
