This idea, coupled with Mofo's situation, made me think about everyone else here. Have you ever been in too deep? Meaning collecting or hunting too much or having too many figure lines going at the same time. What did you do to resolve your issues?
I now only collect MUs and a few Thundercats (usedto be big into MLs). I really want to get a 25th collection and maybe some Star Wars figures, but I know my personality and I won't be able to stop once I start. I have had numerous 25th figures in online carts, but I never pulled the trigger.
How do you guys talk "yourselves off the edge" when you want too much? Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

It's always good to have a supporting spouse, friend or significant other, who doesn't blur the line between support and enablement. They need to be honest enough (when you can't be) to tell you that your situation is precarious at best. If you're going at it alone, well, good luck. lol.
Collecting is like sex, you can never be in too deep.
