To each his own really, but these are things that have helped me get past the momentary depression and get back to enjoying my toys!

This might be why I started displaying my figures in a dio. It make it feel worth it to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a plastic toy, rather then just keeping them MOC on a wall or in a box or in the closet. It takes time to setup this dio and have the figures stand just right. So it really does make it fell more like a hobby then just having it to have it bc of some personal defect I/we have.

I made a decision that I would truely only collect MU. BC at one point or another we will get the comic characters in the line. I only pick up the ones I want for my dio. Other then that I really try to stay away from the movie lines. I also dropped my other hobby Buy and modding cars. I use to enger IFOs and Showdowns on my free weekends But when those cars break they cost MONEY. I just couldn't collect and keep up with that sport. It had to be one or the other for me. I made my goals in the car world. Beat who I had to beat. Got the times I was aiming for. So I decided to move on and just focus on my collection.
