Another thing about collecting is it's becoming less fun (for me at least). Way back when (1995 or so) I got back into figure collecting when Star Wars relaunched. The original idea was to get a few figures and place them around my computer or entertainment center for the ha-ha's and giggles. Like anything in life I found myself hooked in no time. For the first time in life I was able to afford figures and vehicles I never had as a kid. I was able to replace the stuff that I lost or broke and "new" figures were being made that I could only dream about when I was young.
Soon Marvel, DC and GI Joe started producing their own lines and I hopped on board that nostalgia train too. I become a "collector" without ever intending to be.
The ROC stuff has no emotional or nostalgic ties for me and I wonder why I'm even picking it up. I guess after 14 years of collecting I don't know what else to do. That's why I say it's starting to be no fun. I have more toys now then I ever had a as a kid. If I had this much stuff back then I'd have been the spoiled kid who had everything. We all probably knew somebody like that. You know, the one who usually had no friends. I feel like I've turned into that guy sometimes.
