I'm thinking of..

[Tortricidae]

Getting rid of a lot of my figures again. I haven't bought a single figure since the Dragons came out. I haven't even been toy hunting..not even for new LOTR figures. I've pretty much stopped collecting, and I don't really see myself starting up again, unless the figure is really, really cool.

I do plan on getting the next Dragons line. I am going to get the new Mandy and Lotus. But the fun in toy collecting isn't really there for me much anymore..especially as I don't make enough to support my sideshow LOTR habit and figure collecting and saving for a new car.

so expect some figure lists or ebay auctions from me in the near future. I don't really have all that much anymore, though, and nothing really rare.

I think many of us are in the same position Grave....

If I buy one or two figures in three months, that's a lot.....

I don't think about getting rid of my stuff, but I don't by alot of stuff... Once every 3-4 month. Worst part is that I don't miss it.

Ergo the current state of the board. I think most of us are in the same boat. [img]redface.gif[/img]

I've been buying more figures in the past month than all year...there's tons of shit ocming out now that I want. Only thing is, none of it's McF... [img]redface.gif[/img]

it's weird how we were all some of the most ardent collectors and now we seem to be among those cutting back the most. I have one toy on order for the rest of the year and that'll probably be it for me.

There are things I still want to get, the rest of the Sentinel Series, I saw Gothmog, the Eye of Sauron, and Gandalf Stormcrow at TRU yesterday I want to get, and a couple SW figures.. And a Hellboy comic fig, 18" Marv and Hellboy, 20" Gandalf, and then the new Mandy and Grave.. It's just onna those not enough to spend on the stuff.. That and I have been slacking for a while myself.. The Howling was my last DVD purchase in 3 months. I just got Sephiroth the other day and Angel from ML, but I hadn't bought jack since sometime early in Sept/Aug. I think the last thing I got was 20" Legolas.. Either him or Guyver III or Gazelle..

Sounds like what is going on a lot lately - not sure what has started the trend, but for the most part it sounds like stagnation and prices.

I know my collecting has slowed down, but I had a LOT that I was into originally, even with over half of it dropping off the radar for me, it is still insane!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">yep. Collecting just doesn't really do it for me anymore. I get plenty excited about the sideshow LOTR stuff, and I'm still really into all of my other hobbies, but for some reason figures have just lost most of their appeal. I couldn't have imagined myself barely collecting or not collecting figures at all a few years back, but now..I don't even glance down the toy aisle at wal-mart or meijer anymore.
