Most of us by nature repeat ourselves. We get used to familiar routines and stick with it. As most collectors prioritize their collections and buy what they like, normally you stay within a certain price range. Example if you buy StarWars toys you typically spend $10/figure and maybe you buy minimum of so many, and make an exception every now and again if a box set comes along or deluxue item that helps complete your collection. Toys are no longer cheap, yes figures like MU,Star Wars,JOE's may be $10/each or less, but if your a completist or army builder this can add up. And now with companies like HOT TOYS, Sideshow,neca etc $10-20 is a starting point, but to get something truely awesome be prepaired to spend $100+ on 1 single figures.

My question to all is what category does your collection fall into, cheaper items but a lot of them, or more high end stuff but not as many due to price, are you an avid toyrun person,bargin bin hunter, or do you buy online and buy bulk lots, do preorder, buy entire waves etc.. Is your collection focused to 1 character, 1 company, 1 line, 1 whatever or do you collect anything and everything.... of a paticular series,show,or character? and from there explain why you collect such items and any advise to fellow collectors, this is more an omage to us as collectors, what fuels us and to help fellow collectors/newbies understand what it is to be a collector...
