I used to want everything. At one point in time in my life, I had the entire vintage line of domestic vintage Joes including a huge Cobra army. The only thing I have never owned before was the Dino Hunters set. I have never even seen it in person.
I sold my first collection and then instantly regretted it. Went into a lot of debt cause of my collecting addiction and ended selling off my second vintage collection to get out of debt.
Now with the modern stuff, I try to get everything I can, but if I can't I'll try to make the figure. I was about to get out of modern collecting and sell off all the stuff too.
I actually started by getting rid of Topside and Repeater cause I hated how I can't get everything cause everything is coming out from the Collectors Club and is just too expensive to get it all.
However, right after trading/selling away Backstop, Topside and Repeater, I intantly regretted it.
The price of Repeater is too high, so I made due by buying a NF one. I still haven't been able to replace Backstop and Topside.
Basically, think long and hard before getting rid of collecting cause you'll be like me and regret it. However, I have new outlook of, the club stuff sucks and I can make better versions myself (at least that's what I tell myself when there's something I can't get cause of price).
