I didn't so much lose interest as I just didn't have the ability to collect. My parents seperated in 89' and got divorced the next year. It was pretty ugly and I didn't really have the motivation/ time/ money to collect anything except various addictions.
Everything got better around 91' or so when I graduated high school, and interestingly enough, I kind of had my golden years with Joe after that. Maybe I was just getting some lost years back, but I really enjoyed the neon days. Eco Warriors, Star Brigade, Battle Corps, Mega Marines, Ninja Force--I got back into collecting when all those were around and had great times with them.
I dropped Joe altogether during the Extreme and Savage years, and when new sculpt hit I was hooked again. 3,000 figures later, I'm still riding the wave.
