I know this feel. Last month I spent $110 on a couple of figmas. I knew I shouldn't have. I needed that money for food.

Spent a couple of weeks eating ramen at my cousins place.

I feel you.

I didn't have anything coming out this month in my preorders, and my life feels empty (to the point I'm tempted to buy stuff I don't even like so much to fill that gap).

And for the amount of money I'm putting into toys, the time I spend actually enjoying them is too little.
Part of my problem is that my house is too small, and I'm waiting for next year to move.

I went through that phase. Everything i bought from it is in the closet and not on display now, so i can't recommend.

I'm in a similar situation, except I buy things I like. I just like so much stuff that I have a lot of it, and not enough space to display it all.

I have Toku figuarts, Marvel Legends, various Transformers, and a lot of Star Wars and G.I. Joe figures and vehicles all in my closet in bins.

Sometimes I think about purging more things (I recently purged almost half my possessions during a move) but part of me worries that I'll suddenly miss owning something that I got rid of.

The only stuff i've regretted selling is stuff that ended up being worth way more in the future. i've regretted buying stuff, mostly, that dipped in value since i could have gotten it cheap. hindsight bias.

I don't even know if I'm spending less than I used to or not...

Yeah I stopped collecting any kind of JP figure because of that. They took advantage of the yen dip and raised prices like crazy. Now the yen is strong again and the japs of course didn't bother to lower it. One needs only check MFC for earlier years of the same line to know how badly they're getting gyped.

Monetary value is rarely ever the case of my regret. In fact, most of the stuff I recently purged I gave away to people or donated. But, for example, I sold my Marvel Legends Beast and now I regret it, as it was actually one of the best figures to come out of that line. But the reason I sold it is because, like most of my Marvel Legends stuff right now, it was in a bin in my closet not being used. I basically cut my collection down to my favorite characters and villians.

Are you me? I've been buying less toys for the past few months now but the rising prices make it seem as if I'm simply spending the same amount of cash as I did before.

It sort of helped me to realize that buying toys was a stress outlet, which was connected to a larger problem (not doing anything with my life)

Once i fixed that i stopped spending anything on toys, but i still get urges.

So you bought one whole figma and a 10th of another figma? Did your GSM overlords bless you with such extravagant features as "a single pair of extra hands" and "a single extra faceplate"?

Figma prices have skyrocketed and they now barely come with any accessories.
