I'm sure you're not the only one feeling this way. I know I'm pretty close to reaching that point. I took a look into some of the boxes i have in storage (since I'm going to start sorting stuff out to sell) and i have so many figures and vehicles that i don't even get to enjoy. As we get older, there's less time to dedicate to this hobby. And it's not a social event where you blow off steam with your buddies, it's a sweet, selfish, isolated event. I don't think i'll ever have the time or space to unleash my collection and just enjoy it as a whole. The last time that almost happened (some 10 years ago) my dad was breathing down my neck about packing them up (since it was when i moved out of my parent's and my collection was going into storage). In retrospect, the last time i enjoyed my joe collection was when i was 13 or 14, but it was much smaller then.

I understand, I get these feelings everyday. It does take up alot of time, and alot of money.. I drive my girl crazy sometimes.. Because I'm so addicted to MOTU and G.I. Joe.. And I'm going to slow it down a notch.. My whole check after bills goes on my collection.. I realize that I need to spend my weekends with my girl, and do more things with her, since I'm always at home, spending time on BBTS, Ebay, Looking for good deals on joes.. I have single sellers for all my Vintage motu and Motu Classics, and I only do my MOTU once every other month, so that's not a big issue.. It's just having one to many hobbies all at the same time. I don't get to enjoy my collections either, cause I'm alway wanting more, No Matter how much I have I'm still not happy or something like that.. Basically what I'm saying Is that I have a serious addiction, and It has to stop eventually. I know It's not going to be easy for any of us to stop collecting joes, But all things eventually come to an end...

I will always be up on what's going down in the world of GI Joe, but as far as buying/collecting & trading, I'm just about done. It's NOT about Hasbro, the sequel's delay, crappy distribution or anything else. Simply, it's just that this hobby takes up so much of my time and the toys take up too much of my house! Plus, for some reason, it just isn't as much fun as it used to be, so I'm getting rid of tons of stuff.

Well this is fantastic! I went to 8 Targets between yesterday and today looking for the Ninja Combat Cruiser and I didnt find any.
If anyone has an extra one for sale or finds one and wouldnt mind buying it and shipping it to me I'll pay finders fees plus shipping for it.

Joes are the only thing I collect and I guess thats the key to my vigillance. I dont have Starwars or Transformers or anything else to distract me. All I do is collect, mod, display. I spend hours just setting up teams and figuring what weapons they would use in real life situations. Like Lowlight, I realize the figure comes with an Uzi as an homage to the original figure but seriously? an Uzi for a marksman? A sniper wouldnt use an Uzi as a side arm, its a terrible for accuracy. I figure a Vector Kriss or an MP7 would suit him better. I spend hours discussing this crap with my friends whenever they come over for movie nights. None of them collect but they are all Joe fans and we just throw down ideas left and right. Its the funnest hobby I have.
