Next thing I know, I'm all in on all the different TMNT sub-lines. I realized (probably too late) that I was spending tons of money and taking up tons of space on an IP that I really wasn't that deeply connected to. I had to break the habit of buying toys solely because "they look cool". Given limited resources, I decided only to collect the things that mean something more to me. I have much more love for DC, MOTU, and GI Joe, so those became my focus.

New toys are always on the way!

That's a very good idea. I absolutely agree. You should collect what you love.

For example, Star Wars has never been my focus. I have very few Star Wars-related figures and objects in my collection. Almost all of them were gifts. Star Wars is a big brand and popular. But I don't collect it.

There are many popular series, but I've never collected them just because they're popular. Everyone needs to create their own collection world.

Their own desires, their own ideas, and their own imagination.

I can't wait to see your new toys. By the way, what do you think of the Neca holiday version of Chucky? I really like the figure and am considering buying it.
