From what you describe of your personal affairs - collecting Joes of any era are not your most pressing problem.
Stop collecting for the now and put the pause button on collecting. If the need or desire to still sell it all is there in time then consider that option then. Hehe, I said "simply" stopping. Easier said than done, I know. |

Ok dude I have some form of OCD I know it. I tend to gravitate to things that can be a compulsive playground...collecting, weight lifting and nutrition etc etc. I realized I was doing alot of things just to do them to go through the motions and that I was in fact "obsessing" and not collecting or merely working out.
That was about 5-6 yrs ago when I started to learn moderation and yes there can be some middle ground, gray area etc. Having said that and I don't mean to be a dick, but 3 storage units? 2nd divorce? 6 kids....are you sure you're enjoying your collection and everything that goes with it? Or are you simply collecting to collect.....if you stopped collecting do you think you would find something else to do "big"? On a more immediate note, just sell off some of the stuff you that isn't your favorite or holds no real sentimental value to you. You don't have to shut the whole thing off, maybe just slow it down and find a happy medium. |

I think I'll be done collecting once the new year starts. The last couple of figs I really want come out in December... 30th Sci-fi & Lifeline and MU Psylocke. After that for the rest of the year there are probably only a few figs I will want like MU Jubes and maybe a couple of yet to be announced Joes or something, but that's pretty much it.
Just like Wedge after shooting the Power Converter in the 2nd Death Star... I'm already on my way out.

one of the 3 wise ass men has answered.. condoms and no marriage, haha.. i love it..
honestly, i'd just quit and focus on reality. i was just thinking 5 minutes ago, that i think it's almost time for me to quit, i got in this for nostalgia, and i havent boughten shit that is a classic remake since it's seldom that something is made, and here i am still buying shit that don't pertain to the reason i started. i don't like gi joe as a whole or a brand like many others here, i like the classics, i love what i grew up on, and since we barely get that anymore, i think it is quiting time for me also. although, i do love the new shit that comes out from time to time, but i much rather waste my money on shit that i really want, like a monkey wrench 25th style. it sucks, because i want to buy the new shit, but rather buy classic remakes, and all i see is me blowing my money on shit i have no relation with. i personally don't know what to do either, bro.. I will say this, I do have a habit of hopping from one hobby to the next and there is no time frame. I simply focus on one or the other. I go from Figures, to PC games, to gun collecting (real guns), and then back again. A wise old homeless drunk once told me to "Go with the one dat brung ya". I don't know exactly what that meens but If I were you, I would simply decide based on what your head and heart tell you. just sell what you want and keep the rest, or sell it all. In the end only you can decide what is best for you and your family sir. The end. Last edited by nerdsgetchicks; 11-11-2011 at 09:13 PM.. |

I'd downsize to the figures that are most important to you. A lot of these new stuff coming out are great but some of them aren't just worth the premium.
