what to do next

[jabbawokkie]

well i prob got 2 more figs to get once next couple of deals are sorted which leaves me with a problem.
Just dont know what to do nextdoes any one se e the point in just buying stuff to stick in cupboards.gonna display me loose collection then either gonna call it a day or may just get a few pieces that hold a lot of memories .prime, megatron ,prowl ,jazz,he man ,skeletor. Also may get some 12 inch figs darth, c3p0 r2 and stormtrooper never saw any of other 12 inch as a kid so no appeal to me.
Though for some reason i tend to look at me loose collection and see a nice holiday lol

I've got a long way to complete my loose and am in no hurry cos like you say- what next??
I also agree that it's not as good if you can't display the stuff. All my stuff is on display and if i ran out o room i would either make more room or stop buying stuff.
I also collect other toy lines from my childhood- Visionaries, MASK, Transformers etc etc and also Panini and Topps stickers.
It's kind of endless that way and could easily keep me busy for 10 years.
Of course, there's always MOCs.

I like the idea of going down a differet line, especially Transformers.

 

[jabbawokkie]

mate me and moc,s dont get on they soon become mint loose lol. I got to get a prime and megatron and prowel as for he man prob just get a he man and skeletor as the size and amount of figs is just to much

I've also found myself in the same situation, But its like an addiction i can't seem to stop :shock: There is no point me collecting MOC as i've nowhere to put them.....same goes for vehicles.

I've just found myself buying AFA rarer figures VC Jawa/Blue Snag but got them now.....Not got a Luke DT yet though. I've thought about collecting the Ewoks/Droids but i didn't watch the cartoon, so don't see the point getting them as i would be buying them just for the sake of it...

 

[jabbawokkie]

not interested in rarer stuff though may get a 12 back luke farm boy as center piece of display

I still havnt found the urge to buy any more SW, i got sick of buying stuff and just storing it away.

Ive got a lot of he man stuff on the go as its far cheaper and my son loves it, even the new classics line is real quality.

I think my next SW buy will be a load of used figures and vehicles that i can give to my son and play with, its the only way ill get enjoyment from what i have obtianed...and they were made to be polayed with

Yeah jabba I kinda got the same problem , initially I went nuts and tried to get one if everything I was interested in . I had achieved my loose collection (as I saw it) pretty quick as I didn't care about condition of completeness . But as I had no where to display I soon decided to sell the loose and vehicles as I had got the buzz of seeing the toys from my childhood again and then they were packed off into boxes.

But unlike others it didn't mean stopping or slowing down , instead of collecting more variations I just focused on what I really liked as a kid and now ,,,,,,Imperials .

Now I have a focus that probably can never be finished , this year I hope to hit 250 imperials then onto my ultimate objective 500 stormies lined up in a diorama hanger. Well maybe in cabinets .

But I still enjoy the bargain hunting and the hunts for lots and local stuff

I find I now have to be very selective with what I buy due to money (second kid is now 8 weeks old)
I was very lucky, I collected the figures as they came out so I never had the hassle and cost, I remember buying 9 of the last 17 in one go for 99p each!
I don't think you lose the bug of collecting but I do think it comes in waves. I had all my childhood stuff stored for a good 10 years before I picked it up again.

In a similar situation myself mate, as my loose set nears completion I have been wondering where to go from here. I dont have the space or the budget for a moc collection and I dont think I have the self discipline for a focus collection.
I have started to buy trading cards from various Star Wars sets as they are another thing I remember collecting as a kid but its not the same as the toys.
I dont want to be a varient deviant and dont remember droids or ewoks figures so am unsure where to go next with regards to the figures, I have a couple of mini-rigs and may go down the boxed mini-rig and creature collecting route....
