As we approach the New Year, what are your resolutions surrounding toys/collecting for the new year?

I've decided to make MOTU my main focus because collecting all 3 of the current lines leave very little money for other "cheap" toys.

I've also decided to attempt to decultter my display and am going to do my absolute best to stop impulse buying shit I don't actually want.

Mine is to buy significantly less figures and accessories and focus my toy-spending on my 3D printing projects in hopes of having complete models to sell.

I decided to stop focusing on a line, I really don't care about a character that appeared in like 5 episodes of Dragon Ball, I'll collect things that I really want, from IPs that I actually like.

I'll try scalping some stuff to make a quick buck and that's about it. I never buy shit i don't really want and I'm not a completionist either so I'm good.

Well im already focused on motu and gi joe with a little fortnight mixed in and a few tf for good measure. Ive learned to control myself a bit more but then again im buying cards and comics more now. So i guess my collecting goal is to find more natural sources of dopamine and escapism.

I've become better at managing my collection so it doesn't become too cluttered. I just sell what I don't need and replace it with what I do, but I try to keep it down to a specific number of items.
Also dropped the completionist meme and don't get everything from a certain line anymore unless I really need the BAF.

>again im buying cards
TCGs? I started buying Pokémon cards and I regret is because of how much I’ve wasted. Sticking to singles and a single ETB for 2022.

I've decided to try to stop buying every cool looking iterations of a character I like and only buy the ones I like the most. I'm currently fighting with myself not to buy CCS Shin Getter since I already own the Riobot (and the Robo-Dou but I'm also tying to convince myself to sell it) and planning to get the SOC.

I'm going to stop buying 2x/3x/4x of dragon ball figuarts this year. I've doubled on krillin already, but after that I'm sticking to 1 of each release. Should help me retain my display space a but longer before I need the next inevitable upgrade.

Originally I wanted a 2nd one for my namek display as he wears that outfit briefly, but now they have revealed the armor version it's kinda redundant.

This is why imma stop doubling next year since my reasons for doing it are often debunked by future releases.

Gonna try and do some major cut backs. Only get characters that actually mean something to me instead of what looks cool and neat. After hitting 40 this year I need to start thinking about my future and saving what I can.

Get a 3d printer and learn to make my own models, I've spent too much on low quality 3p prints.

My goal for the toy hobby this year is to sell most of my collection.
Mostly because I'm not displaying a lot of it like ever. Or taking the time to rotate pieces. So that means I must not actually enjoy a huge part of my collection.
This is the second time I've gotten to this point so I don't have nearly as much to get rid of. Going forward I just need to recommit and double down on only buying figures I really love.
