I actually just looked at my CC bill and was like WTF?!?!..what am i doing....BRUH...pump your brakes.
I immediately went on ebay and deleted all the things i was watching/looking at. I HATE that side bar to the right that shows ebay sales...GRRRRRRRRRR....i look at it...click through it...next thing i know..."GOTCHA BITCH" I'm now the proud new owner of something i wasn't thinking about prior to.......*sigh*...the life of an addicted collector....ha

My goal is to REALLY stay away from PRIOR RELEASES...except for maybe one here and there, every other month or so as a treat...and not feel like...I MUST HAVE THEM ALLLLL..NOWWWWWW!!!.
Now new releases..well that's a different story, cause If i see me a Falcon, Winter Soldier, Kate Bishop 3 pack, etc, I'm on it like stank on doo-doo....

meh..

I have moments like that, where I look at the things my wife and I collect (Transformers, Marvel Legends, DC Universe Classics, Monster High/Ever After High/DC Super Hero Girls dolls), and I think about how much we've spent on these damn hobbies.

And then I sit there and realize how cool the things we have on display look, and how much fun we've had hunting for various things, how awesome it feels to snag something that's hard-to-find, how much we've enjoyed goofing around with posing them all... and I realize that every dollar is worth it. We have a lot of memories attached to individual items, funny anecdotes, or just great moments of happenstance that make almost everything in the collection worthwhile. If an item loses its charm, we do get rid of it, but that happens very rarely.

So, yeah, it's a lot of money, but... I wouldn't have it any other way.
