The only things I will collect MOC now are some GI Joes (only the 25th anniversary line, since I love the card art), and the odd SDCC item.

This basically describes me too. I was mostly MOC because I liked the art or the way a figure looked inthe package until I started running out of room to store things. It was hard to change but realized I did enjoy the figure a little more fiddling with it and possing it on a shelf with others. I now will cut them out carefully and save the card backings so I can still keep the great art without taking up space. Especially the MU, I love the comic art on the front of those. I still battle with the old MOC collector inside me though, currently with the Batman legacy figures I just got. They look great on card but I'm iching to free them. It's an old habbit to break.
