Alas, DC Collectibles and Hot Toys are my main passions now. I'm even going to start selling off my 3.75" collections soon, which I expect to be a traumatic process.

I, for one, think we need some sort of "support group" type thread here on the Ark, for those of us painfully parting with especially beloved parts of our collections.
Lol, I'm only partially joking, because it can be a truly harrowing process !

After far too many of my Lord of the Rings Toy Biz figures began to "melt", I preemptively sold off my collection, with a serious disclaimer/warning to the buyer.
As much as I loved them I couldn't bear to witness their ongoing decay, and it was sad to see that well over 3/4 of them were experiencing that weird, sticky, slimy, "melting" that older soft plastics sometimes unfortunately experience.
I had hoped that Bridge Direct would do a LotR line alongside their Hobbit figures, but well, that doesn't look like it will ever happen, so I'm still looking for some sort of LotR merch to fill the gap in my collection.

But anyways, a thread like that to help us part with figures that we know we need to part with, but are having trouble parting with, might be a good idea to lessen the trauma.
Lol, we have this thread to happily display our newly acquired stuff, so it makes sense that we have a thread for the inverse; when we are sadly parting with figures.
