First off, is for what you mentioned, it's a chore at times when the line is so difficult to find. That's why I set myself with a bar of who are my must haves and who I may nor may not buy depending on the situation at hand. Like if I come across Breaker and the bike, I'll grab him. If not, then no big deal.

My second reason is I went overboard on the line from 10 years ago. I was buying at least two of every figure, one to open, one to keep unopened, and then about 8 of EVERY army builder. I just had no self control at the time as even my Transformers, MOTUC, and DC collection was out of control.

I invested way more money than I should have and regretted it down the line. I've attached some pictures of what my collection looked like in the apartment we previously lived in. Well, they're after I had to put the loose figures away, so you'll only see the MOC/MIB stuff.

I am leaning toward that exact same thought with the Joes unless the line becomes widely available. I keep barely anything MOC/MIB anymore but even then, most everything I collected was just going into a storage bin. Overall it became a waste of funds. I actually stepped away from figures as a whole until the Joe line came out. If it remains in its current state then I will just walk away again. More funds for other hobbies or emerging interests.
