[QUOTE="phantom, post: 185312, member: 3444"] I think its natural for a collecting hobby to go up and down depending on other things happening in life. I collected like crazy back in the days before online shopping and such, the hunt was alot harder back then, but I had a pretty decent collection of loose figures and ships.. I sold off most of it to finance cars, beer and such. Got back into collecting last year, and as some said, its the hunt. Thats probably why I got a little bored with collecting the full first 77 loose ones this year and sold it off, it was really not hard at all getting the 77 common ones with ebay and all. So, took a break, but everytime I saw my empty shelf and Ikea cabinet I felt I wanted to fill it up with vintage goodness again. So I reset my goals and chose a more disiplined route this time, instead of buying like a drunk sailor everything I could find. I now have an achievable but not too easy goal with my collecting and the hunt for stuff is harder and gives me more satisfaction :) I agree that everyone do have room for atleast one loose figure and in time the collector bug comes back to most people :) [/QUOTE]
