I'm just curious to see if the collectors bug has worn off for some. I think I'm done for now. I've seen tons of new figures on the pegs but I don't buy them anymore. I feel like the hype is gone.(I'm talking strictly Joes)
Does anyone else feel this way? Plus I've noticed that the shelves are always full now, where before they were empty most of the time. You don't have to remind me about the economy, I know that has some effect but I know some of the rabid collectors won't let that get in the way. So I'm wondering: Are you still a rabid collector? or Are you done? or Are you somewhere in the middle? And BTW don't bother asking if I'll sell you my collection. |

Seems like a silly board to monitor if they have.
Unless you're asking Hasbro

i've finally stopped being a completest x2. Up to wave 12, I got one of each fig to open and one to keep MOC. I'm pulling back now though. Not doing the Resolute stuff cuz it just sucks, and they look stupid with my MOC collection anyways. Lame fig like Ninja Viper is the first single carded figure I've passed on. And the Deep Six/Rock Roll comic pack I've also passed on.

I'm all caught up... I didn't buy everything... just the ones that I wanted.
Hopefully the movie will be something new and interesting... otherwise, I'm pretty close to being done.

After putting waves 1-11 in star cases, I kind of tailed off. When I see them in the stores, I don't get that " oh I need this feeling". Not going to be a completist anymore, but I might pick up some if they are the ones I want. Don't really feel the "hunt" anymore. Although I did see a wave 1 storm shadow on the pegs at walmart.
