Ha! Love your cynicism! But yeah I used to like hunting them down... then you're like... oh... well I've got all my favourites now... and then you just hope they make some characters you want and they haven't done yet... and yeah, just sort of lost the excitement. Where as collecting comics is great to me, I love discovering some of the really obscure stuff that existed, finding really silly covers from the past, and storylines that are long forgotten, thats fun to me.

The new stuff, you are right, bad writing... not all of it, but a lot of it. DC are slightly better than Marvel at the moment although both seem to be suffering from constant reboots and re imaginings. Marvel more so with their gender swaps and stuff...

And yeah I know I should just bite the bullet, I guess most of my MU collection will stay but I've got the Compound Hulk which I know is worth a fair bit, still boxed... and I dunno if its still sought after but Cable with Baby hope also still boxed, everything else is loose and on display, bar a few figures that had to be put into a box as I had no space to display them...

Pop Vinyls have started creeping their way in too so I'm getting rather overwhealmed. But the thing is, I LOVE figures, even 3D printed some of my own creations, and I'm considering making a customised action figure...

This is the issue. I think being a nerd comes with all this love for something and you just tend to drown yourself in it. I want to keep doing it but without the space it's just not possible to keep it all. As they say, share the love! :P
