None.
I never considered the action figure collecting a "habit." More a hobby.
I know how to budget the money I make. So nothing toy related ever really kills me. Plus, I don't consider it a "plastic crack habit."
I have many other things I do, that would be considered habits or hobbies. I am an avid soccer player, I mountain bike. I read a shitload, I write a ton too. Play video games. Spend time with my Family and friends and girlfriend.
Even, if I see something I like or need to fill the collection, I can turn it down and tell myself I'll wait until next time- unless it's something super-duper rare.
The modern era stuff was never too hard for me to find, really. It just took time. There was never one specific figure that eluded me in stores for more than about 3-4 weeks.
The only stuff I have never seen in a store was yellow stalker, the clear wraith, and the water stinger.
Everything else I just was patient with and found on pegs.
95% of my collection is store bought, with the occasional online purchases as usual.
-none of the above should be a choice.
