Maybe when the displays are all done, then I’ll splurge on a larger playset or vehicle but probably smaller stuff for now. I’m with you on paying a little more for quality too. Some Joe’s with cool accessories who I never had, when I’m back at shows, I’ll spend a few dollars more to get them complete than just buying them loose from a bin.
In the same boat, originally with vintage I was going for the stuff I never had, now I’m picking up some more of those but replacing a few guys that were lost over the years as well. Keeps hunting fun since it means you can usually find something worth grabbing but also not coming home with bags & bags of stuff. Haha, those days were fun but just less space to enjoy the large hauls now.

I agree on he Vintage line as well. Been mostly getting some for customs, outside of Roadblock & Scarlett who I just loved right out of the package. Vintage built Joes of characters I don’t have would have been hard to pass, especially when I saw myself buy a few Retro collection guys for Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Transformers and MOTU. Positive for me is it saves some space & money because Hasbro rereleasing the OG13 in o ring would have been an easy 13 x $xx.xx right out of my pocket. Haha.
I'd love some of the larger play sets too, but tbh, I just don't have the space to house a Terror Drome, so even if I could pick something like that up, I wouldn't even be able to enjoy it properly... ah, maybe one day. Saving money is the upside of Hasbro not coming out with an o-ring money, but I still hope they come out with them at some point. OG13 would be cool, as I actually don't have any of them. I didn't get into the line until the late 80s. I would really like a Scarlett V1 at some point if I get a good deal, but her prices have shot up. I do have a Scarlett v3 from 2003 which is pretty nice, but not the same as the V1 figure. There always seems to be something to get.
