I myself have been trying to solely collect Marvel figures, in Marvel Legends, Marvel Icons, and Marvel Universe. I would collect marvel showdown as well, but never had the chance/ haven't bid for anything yet on ebay. I wonder which would cost you more to collect, and by collect I mean have every figure made from start to end, *in the case of MU to this point now. I know variants, rare figures aside will cost more to the collector and to an investor, but let say you were able to get every figure at retail. Every MU, Every ML, Every MI figure, Every MLS figure .... any math junkies want to take a crack.,, would love to know, to tired to process that kinda math hahah. But I'd say to have every ML figure it'd cost you over $5,000 retail, let alone on scalper prices. Marvel Icons were the most expensive of the retail figures at $20-40 each, aside from MU's Galactus.. and the gigantic battle sets. There's not as many figures in the Icons lines,and the run was short, but it adds up fast. Even Marvel Universe, the cheapest of them all, think of how many 2packs,3packs, comic packs, sdcc, and varaints, plus it's sister waves XMO,Spiderman,Thor,Cap, it's litterally 1000's of bucks.

so I guess when you think about it we're spending $100's-1000's of dollars on toys that sit on a shelf and collect dust lol, is it worth it? and how much have you spent/ willing to spend?
Personally I'd say I've spent 2-3000 on toys or more over my lifetime.
