Im with these guys coz im a cherry picker/buy for customs guy,If you dont mind me asking,do you still enjoy your toys for what they are?? Do you have any loose figures?? Or has tracking down that HTF variant become your reason for collecting?? I always wonder if the hunt (particularly the completist hunt) replaces the actual "fun" of owning and messing around with the unboxed toy??

I still very much enjoy my toys for what they are. I have loose figs too and I enjoy doing customs. I'm just considering putting an end to the "complete MOC" part of my collecting.

Don't listen to this man. His awesome customizing has driven him completely mad. Sell the figure to me complete instead.

I actually don't have fun playing with the figures anymore. It's more fun/satisfying to see a complete collection displayed.

Its impossible to collect the entire MU collection in Canada without reverting to LCS's and paying insane prices on ebay. This difficulty of collecting here definitely saved my ass in becoming a completists...

Now over half my collection is stored in a big shoe box and probably a sign that I've lost some interest in collecting and don't really care. I've got about 20 figs MOC but only 6 are out on display along side with my slim selection of loose figs...x-men, avengers, spidey & foes

Mine are all on display :P. Thanks to Toyark it is the size that it is.

Giving up will be healthier and more fiscally responsible.

I like your setup. I want goliath and that archangel. I have the death variant but not he awesome wings

What kind of corner shelves are those? I dont see anything drilled into the walls. I want a couple of those. Would be perfect for my few minimates and mega block guys

I just found them in my house randomly, my parents had them from years ago. They are plastic and have little sharp corners that slide out with push of a button on the bottom. I have never seen them at store before but when I do, I'm going to buy that shit so fast...
