Re: Breaking the addiction - Cutting back on toys discussion
Ha, talking about cutting back, I've cut back since I got hitched.(needed all the dough I can get for the new place)
I have since sold all my ThreeA (shortlived) and Medicom Kamen riders and misc figures, Made a huge loss.
Currently, I'm keeping just RAH Ultramen.
Nowadays I think twice before clicking the mouse button on that pre-order. You might be happy for me to know that I pre-ordered a certain Nespresso coffee machine instead of Ultraman Hunter Knight Tsurugi.
Damn.. what's happening to me....snap out of it.

Re: Breaking the addiction - Cutting back on toys discussion
@Kazuki I just recently sold some of my collection as well. And it was oddly therapeutic haha. It kind of gave me a feeling of empowerment over my collection.
Anyways I wish you luck on your sale. In fact I have a friend who may be interested. I'll let him know and see if he'll bite.

Re: Breaking the addiction - Cutting back on toys discussion
Enough is enough - can't hold back anymore. GROUP HUG!!! Now we're going to have to stretch our arms rather far, Space Jam style, 'cause we have to reach the various countries we're all from. Ready? Steady. Go!
*muscles pulling* Almost to Jun...
*tearing sounds* Hang in there!
*cracking noises* By the power of Grayskull!
*you don't wanna know* AHHHHHH!!!
(...worth...it...)

Re: Breaking the addiction - Cutting back on toys discussion
wow you guys have very strong discipline...I dont think I can stop at this moment. Worst still went into statues . Occupy even more space and can you imagine the big boxes of these statues . So the solution is stop or extend house. Of course you know what happen next, I choose the latter....waiting for authority approval and then there will be a room just for my collectibles ....wait I now remember I havent budget the display cabinet

Re: Breaking the addiction - Cutting back on toys discussion
Yeah, um... I'm doing pretty poorly at this, I got the Tracker, and I currently have Spider-Man, IM Mk V, Captain America, Classic Predator, Shadow Predator, and the new Batman on Pre-Order. I'm thinking about grabbing that Bootleg Tom Jane Punisher too, and i'll probably wind up with at least one of those Retailer Exclusive 3A Figures. Ugh. It's like a relapse. You guys are all saying you'd be good candidates for Hoarders but I think I need my own episode of Intervention. Hahaha.
I have been selling a lot of stuff though, so that helps, both with space and finances. I'm starting to think of my House as a Toy Orphanage, or maybe a Toy Half-Way House or Toy Shelter. Toys go in, Toys go out. I think that's definitely the way that I'm going to keep myself (and my Wife, haha) sane.
