Do you guys ever get anxious over things you can't afford at the moment?
How do you deal with the anxiety of not being able to buy a toy while its price is good?

I understand, I often look for stuff on Amazon and many of the items are way too overpriced.

To me it happens when something I procrastinated on buying goes sold out.
Recently, LG Megatron and LG Hot Rod just disappeared from Mandarake and I'm wondering when will I find them again or if I'll have to resort to Ebay, which I hate.

I've also been postponing buying several upgrade kits and I'm pretty sure they'll go away soon.

Just accept it as a situation out of my control.
Toy collecting became a lot more enjoyable once I managed to let go and accept I didn't NEED a specific toy or I have to complete a full team/line.

I had this issue when I lost my job last year and had hundreds of dollars worth of stuff on preorder. One thing I try to tell myself is order it from sites I can cancel orders on or if not pay for it on credit and hopefully by the time I get it I can decide if I still want it and or have the money to afford it and if not I can just sell it. Other thing I try to think about is how late in life when I do have the ability to buy things without worrying about money I can just buy it for how much I'm willing to pay

I’m unemployed for the foreseeable future and literally every day I check my various shopping carts to figure out how to afford orders. It kinda suck so being a compulsive toy collector when you have no money

It's a lot worse when you can afford everything you could want at anytime.
Then you get anxious when you spend money, because it's too much money to spend into that and you should be saving now that you can.
But you get anxious too when you don't buy, because you think you could be missing a chance.

I used to be an autistic completionist. I later learned, because of a shortened income, to focus on buying what i actually do want.

my completionist self still wants to buy more stuff every time i watch/play something, but i do what i can to make sure i budget properly and rationalize sales whenever ican
