So I am only five items away from having a complete MOC collection of Marvel Universe, including variants, packaging variants, gloss vs. matte variants etc. I've collected toys for many many years and this is the closest I've ever been to having a complete collection of any toy line.

But now, I think I'm giving up the quest. I just can't bring myself to pay the money that would be needed to get these five more figures, all but one of them repeats of stuff I already have (the five items I'm missing are light blue Bullseye, dark variant Galactus, SDCC Galactus, blue and yellow Goliath, and mail away Nick Fury). On top of the outrageous price for these last five items, Hasbro seems content to bring out new variants not just with new waves, but now with every revision case that comes out too (I'm looking at you Electro and Doc Sampson).

So that's it. I think I'm done. I will continue to buy Marvel Universe because I love the figs, but I'm done trying to have a complete collection and hunt down every lame stand variant and packaging variant that comes around.

Am I crazy to quit this close to the finish line or am I finally seeing the light?

For that matter, I'm about ready to have a toy opening frenzy and put an end to keeping things MOC...
