I recently bought some bookcases and put the majority of my DC figures and Marvel Legends on display in the man-cave. Doing this has put things in perspective for me and now I can see the finish line. After this year, I'll only need a few more ML figures to finish off the lists I made when I started collecting. For instance, after I get Psylock, Apocolypse and Bishop later this year, I'll only need an Emma Frost and a Weapon X figure to have all the characters I want/feel are necessary for MY collection. I'll be able to squeeze them on to my shelves and after that I'll probably just be replacing old, outdated figures with newer, better looking versions.

Now that I have these shelves, I've purged out figures that I don't care as much for and I've started being more selective because I realize that I have finite space to display my figures. When the majority of my collection was being stored in plastic tubs, I wasn't thinking about how much space they would take to display and bought a bunch of figures that I don't care enough about to make room for and keep dusted.

I enjoy the figures I already have so much more now that they're posed on a shelf and I get to see them every day and it reduces my urge to keep buying more and more figures.
