>>7700631>I'm 32 and well, I've managed to get increasingly better jobs, so the only thing I'm running out of is room. I'm saving up for a home soon, so then I'll have more spaceI'm a little younger, and in the same spot. My girlfriend (who also collects) tells me I don't have room when I'm thinking about pre-ordering stuff outside what I typically get.
> but I've always been picky with what I get. This is not me at all. I was pickier when I made less money, but I was also looking for deals on ebay or the BST to grab stuff and sometimes sold higher value stuff for newer things. As I've made more money, I've been more willing to test the waters with other figures. I have a few lines that I really care about and always pre-order, but I have a bunch of figures that are the only ones I have from the line.
>>7700572>What is the end game?This is a really good question to ask, but on the flipside, collections of any kind, not just toys, are never really finished unless what you're collecting is a specific set of [thing] that has finished. Coin collectors will always pick up coins they don't have. Rich ass car collectors will almost always be able to find room for more cars. Toy collecting can be the same way, but there's just so many lines and way to collect the very broad term of "toy" that it can become a daunting task. I think most people on this board probably stick to one type of toy in particular, and then maybe branch out. A pretty common collection now would be video game figures. Kamen Rider is something that's pretty never ending yet still specific.
Personally, I imagine myself with a home one day, and room for my computer/entertainment, with the majority of my collection in nice glass cases. I picture a lot of Robot Damashii, a case for Kingdom Hearts, and a case for my few scales. And then some shelves around the house for other stuff. For me, toy collecting IS my primary hobby, so the endgame is that there isn't one.
