I've been collecting all things 6 inch for 14+ years. i have amassed a MOC collection of over 1000 figures in that time. I have collected many types of lines from Marvel Legends to DCUC to Mezco to Sota etc..i don't put things in boxes or containers. Everything is displayed and open for all to see. I keep them in two dedicated rooms in my basement, away from light and too much mositure. I'm in my 40's, married and with 2 middle age children. It seems that with every year, more and more cool and interesting figures get realeased. I could buy forever and never think twice about it. But recently i've taken a look back and thought, when is too much, am i too old for this or when will i stop. My kids are not interested in them. Do i just keep buying and just keep doing what i have been doing for 14 years? When is enough? Than i think, What do i do with all of this???????? Who do i plan on leaving it to or burden with having to sell or deal with? What to do?? i'm completly confussed and need some insight. This community is the only one that understands the collector mentality. What to do?
If you like it and you enjoy your collection, keep doing it. Don't let age or circumstance dictate your collecting. You're never too old to be a kid at heart.
