Yeah, I'm doing much the same. I have a lot of stuff I just don't use, care about, or have room for. I'm going to keep most of my Joe collection and some TFs, but a bunch of stuff has been sold or is pending. The problem is that when Joe stopped in '94-'95, I started buying other stuff, like Marvel and Batman figs. Now I just want to focus on my Joes.

I've never really downsized. I don't know if I could.
They say you should only buy thing that you like, which is what I do. I would never buy anything I don't care for, but my problem is I like a lot of things lol. I guess it is funny to think that something such as plastic means so much to me, but everything I have in someway is a part of of me. Not in that hoarder sort of way when people don't even know what they own and can't get rid of trash piling up. But everything I own has to do with something I have a Geeky love for, be it my Joes, TF, model kits, ML, or even my Lego, it all means a lot to me as a collector. Plus a lot of the stuff I own is from when I was a kid, it's nostalgic for me to look upon the very first toy I ever owned and all the ones I have gotten over the years up until just three days ago buying and adding Skydive to the collection.

Thanks. I'm somewhat biased to Sony dating back to the tape cassettes/CD player and Trinitron days. My TV, tablet, PS3, blu-ray and surround sound are all Sony. I'm pretty thrilled. I got the one with a good video card so I can play some of the more complex PC games. And the pictures I see online are huge. My old computer was a 14" laptop, so watching a movie from Netflix is also so much better now.

I understand the need to do it and it does feel good to remove filler in your collection. That is part of the reason I don't collect complete lines anymore. I only get the stuff I really want. Less is more.
I have often sat back and thought about the massive amount of cool collectible toys, both vintage and new that would be great to have. All kinds of series like Starcom, Shogun Warriors, Micronauts, Transformers, Aliens Hot Toys, Masters of the Universe, 60's Joes, Matt Mason and more. Then I though "Where the hell am I going to put all this stuff?"

I will have to downsize in the next couple of weeks. For some reason I can never say no to multiple vehicles. I love to army build but I will have to scale it back a bit.
