I had the biggest "guns" on here, and I didn't stick to them in the least!
I've been collecting ALL forms of action figures for the last 20 years. McFarlane, NECA, Hasbro (SW/Joe/Indy), Playmates, Sota, RAH, Lego, Kotos, Kubricks. you name it, I probably have at least one figure from it. It came to the point where it just wasn't fun any more. I was making toy runs out of habit and picking up new waves only to tie the top of the bag in a knot and put them in a Tuperware bin. I could never display all of it, and frankly, I wouldn't even want to now. Going through the countless bins of SW prequel toys just sickens me! All that money wasted and I couldn't even give the stuff away at this point. Needless to say, I became disenchanted with the hobby as a whole. It's been about 2 years since I stopped the insanity. I had a little bender when the new Indy stuff came out last year, but after seeing the movie, the bad QC on the figs, and the line dying out, it never amounted to much. I've been action figure free for about a year. I still check the toy aisle now and again, but besides a few temptations along the way, I remained uncompromised. Well, I dunno what the hell happened to me last weekend, but I was totally sucked in by ROC! Not only have I been on the wagon, but I don't even think the movie will be good. In fact, I'm sure it can't be. Still, I had to have them??? I passed up on a l lot of great Joes over the last few years. Maybe ROC was just a good place to jump back on? Anyone in the collecting world knows how overwhelming it can be to catch back up with all the things they may have missed during a haitus. This was the very beginning, so I just went for it. I didn't go crazy. I just bought a few basic figs, but damned if I'm not a bit perplexed at why! I don't think the figures are bad, but they certainly aren't as great as some of the others I've seen and subsequently passed on. Oh well, I guess I should call my sponser and start going to meetings again. Besides, I always have 90 days (at Target) to come to my senses. Last edited by Versus; 07-07-2009 at 12:44 PM.. |

I didn't vote because I never said I would pass on everything. I bought three figs--CC, Covergirl and Wetsuit, that's it so far. The vehicles are not worth the price and the rest of the figures suck.
