In a rather unexpected move, I decided to sell much more of my collection than previously anticipated yesterday, including almost all of my Jim Lee X-Men. This led me to wonder the collecting habits of everyone else on this board. How do you collect your Legends?

I decided that moving forward I'm going to stick with 'definitive' versions of characters that I have a connection with. I am going to continue to collect every Wolverine and his accompanying cast of characters. As such, my X-Men shelf in one detolf has now been relegated to every Wolverine release thus far, Uncanny X-Force, some Deadpool/Cable, Sinister, Apocalypse, Kitty, Jubilee, Colossus and Nightcrawler with Magneto, Sabretooth, Mystique, Omega Red and Silver Samurai filling out the rest of the current ranks. I look forward to grabbing Maverick and hopefully, in due time, Cyber, a new Daken, etc. I also have an AOA shelf started, so fingers crossed we get more.

As for Spidey, I used to have an extensive Spiderverse shelf that I pared down last year and then again earlier this year. Now I really feel like I'm just going to stick with the most classic versions of the Sinister Six and Spidey staples and cut it there. The new Kingpin and most of the new vintage wave will be awesome to swap out some other versions.

I have an MCU shelf that encapsulates the Infinity Saga with my favorite version of almost every character. I don't imagine I'll buy much more from the MCU for a few years.

Finally, I'm trying to do a bit of a foil shelf with heroes and competing villains. Right now I have 80th Cap with Baron Zemo, 80th Iron Man and Doom... but I'm also realizing we need some updates. I have no proper Comic Dr. Strange for Dormammu or an Ultron against Vision.

Ultimately, there are certain new figures coming out that completely check off the 'definitive' list for me. War Machine and Moon Knight come to mind as does the new Vintage Spidey. There are characters that still need some TLC such as Daredevil (no butterfly joints yet!?) and Punisher.

That's my completely unsolicited rant, but I'd love to hear some thoughts from everyone!
