I think it's very easy to get caught up with the mentality of "I want it now, this looks awesome", but after you bought said purchase, part of the lure of buying fadded and you're left with a $20 piece of plastic. I used to be hardcore into collecting hockey cards, everything anything I needed it, I focused on 1 player, but it got to the point where I'm at a collector's store and contimplating paying $150 cash for a piece of cardboard because it's 1/10. I mean at a certain point I said hey, I'm collecting cards for the sake of collecting them because I'm familar with the system and value scale, but they don't add enrichment to my life, I never even look at them. So I decided to collect toys again and never looked back. I've loved everything from mcfarlane to marvel, dc, neca, revoltech, 3A, etc etc etc, but if you're a completist at heart and have 2 many interests your wallet is going to suffer and your collection will be a massive miss-match or randomness. I try to focus on IM and Marvel mainly, sure I'll buy the odd off topic figure but it's just that odd, MU,ML,MI AND IM have my full attention. To me it sounds like you're "problem" is that you need to be buying stuff, it's the rush of finding collector jems at retail pricing. If you want to have the best of both worlds, buy toys and sell them to arkers who need them, because it sounds to me like you want to be done completely with buying/collecting toys.
