where I've been and why I stopped collecting...

[@masterjedi1980]

Congrats!!! Oh my what a wonderful reason to slow down with hobbies. Your going to have so much fun! One of the greatest parts of my adult life was introducing my hobbies to my kids. Please do review vids with the baby!

[@JediMaster738]

I will for sure! Thanks so much!

[@farminglittlepeople9623]

Congrats on baby Jack Nicole! Bill Pagan here!😁👍. I totally understand about where you are at in collecting. Same here, I have completely stopped collecting anything new and only will continue with vintage figures only! 😁. Glad to see you are back 🙏

[@monroe_rain1322]

Congrats! Was hoping you weren’t gone off KZbin forever! Been loving the Lego vids and been watching you for a long time! Happy and best wishes for you!

[@erindrury785]

Congrats!!! And yes, you have to collect with your heart. I've slowed down with Black Series, as well, but will still get my fav characters, but not worrying about having every fig of every wave. I also collect dolls and pops, so I need to choose wisely. You should be happy looking at your collection.

[@JediMaster738]

Thanks so much! I agree, still doing some pops and lego and bits and bobs and figures that I like so I'm happy with that!

[@Matt_Desrochers74]

Yaaay! Congrats and best of luck! My 14 year old son, Lucas, loves Star Wars (thank God) and we just got back from a epic trip to celebration and Galaxy’s Edge. There’s nothing better than feeling like you are raising your best friend. 😃

[@JediMaster738]

That's awesome!! I can't wait, thank you!

[@Ruinril]

Congrats!!! I think I have been following your channel for 10 years at this point…so crazy..all the best!

[@artwalk5036]

[@JediMaster738]

Thank you kindly friend!

[@SeriouslyStarWars]

Congratulations to you and Mr. 738! Glad to see you back making videos!

[@sithlord2225]

[@JediMaster738]

Thank you kindly friend!

[@MonkeyboysToys]

Congratulations! Wishing you and your family all the very best, hope to see you again soon! Take it easy 🙏

[@mikeyhifi]

Eyyy, congratulations! Having a baby is… just the best. I’ve got a 5 month old and pretty much daily tell him I can’t wait to be able to experience Star Wars with him. Fingers crossed he likes it!

[@JediMaster738]

Aww congrats to you! I can't wait!

[@jamesstolk9848]

Congratulations enjoy the time focusing on the family. You'll be missed but we'll see you when you are here.

[@edwinsullivan922]

Great to see you back, and congratulations to you and your husband !

[@JediMaster738]

Thanks so much!

[@justinreilly6619]

[@ramonvergara6903]

Congrats, GOD BLESS YOUR FAM.MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU IN THIS WONDERFUL JOURNEY.

[@blakel29]

Congrats! Life comes first, take care of yourself and your family.

[@tombowling8646]

I truly understand. The economy has drastically curtailed my collecting too. I'm down to one line. Ironically, I'm only collecting the Black Series. Take care, Nicole. It's been a blast.

[@AndreCOLLECTS]

Yeah... I was wondering what happened😆 glad everything is good and congratulations on having a son!

[@miguelrivera3383]

So happy for you. Baby Jack is very lucky to have parents like y’all. You are right about Black series. Baby has priority !

[@saintjamesmodernart]

Congrats! So pretty soon you will have your own action figure. Running all over the place. Making life much more enjoyable than any plastic one could. All the best. James 😁

[@unknownninja1]

Congratulations Nicole I know you, will make a great mum. Which child wouldn't love a parent, that is into star wars 👍🏾💯😊.

[@elfcreative]

I've ebbed & flowed many times, and cut back when I lose interest (also cutting back on Black Series" specifically for the same reasons). Keep your family & new bubba as the priority, and congrats from Australia !

[@LegoCLONEfanatic]

Yay! It’s not as bad as I thought! Looking forward to sending a package soon 😂😬

[@lakersfan820]

Congratulations, going to miss your videos.

[@rolfathan]

I had a weird journey in terms of me changing how I collect, I lost any interest in collecting any of them but ones that go with the dioramas I have been slowly making. So one is Black Spire in the sequel era, and Hoth in the OG era. I love prequels, I love Mando, and Rogue One, but for some reason I just don't want scenes for them. Letting me focus on more specific scenes is really liberating as it has a vision. I'm not just eating up everything Hasbro and Bandai put out, I'm selective if they fit these scenes, and if they don't, I just skip them. Not that I don't love them, they just don't have "a spot."

[@JediMaster738]

Sounds like you have a good hold on what you want to spend your money on and that's good! Thanks for watching!

[@gerardkane8410]

Congratulations to you your family 💚 ☘

[@ageeksadventureswoohoo9213]

I hear you about easing off. Its hard and the price increases don't help. Ugh 😞

[@BanthaPooDOOM]

Hey there! I totally understand about collecting TBS. Too many repacks and lazy repacks to keep up with. BUT, all of that being said, you are going to be a mother and that is a great thing to focus on right now. So happy for y’all! And it’s good that you aren’t completely out of the game… good luck to you finding your “exclusive” picks in the wild though! Distribution is a WHOLE topic to be discussed within itself… MTFBWY! 😄

[@JediMaster738]

Thanks Tyler! I meant more in terms of exclshively collect tvc and be more exclusive with what I buy from that line not necessarily exclusives themselves haha! But yeah I just feel like things have gotten lazy with the black series line. Hope you're well my friend! And I don't think I've told you congrats on your soon to be uncle status!!!

[@richardtuson5071]

Totally understand at the end of the day family comes 1st, and also everything is so expensive theses days,are you going to train him ways of the force when he,s old enough HA HA so happy for you both.💫😁

[@Peak-OB1]

Awesome I have also stopped collecting black series also, I'm too set in my ways for the "legacy scale " where it all began with 3.75! and pops are still happening as well

[@JediMaster738]

I'm doing pops still as well, quality over quantity though I am Hallyday with the black series I have 😌

[@bizzarrosupergirl6710]

Funny thing is I haven't watched KZbin in a bit & thought "Hey, I wonder what New Star Wars Black Series figures that Jedi Master girl has reviewed lately?" Lol At least you have a good excuse! Lol Being pregnant & saving for the baby is a good one plus Hasbro just seems to rerelease the same figures over & over. I only seen a few I would even want the last year or so. Well hopefully, you can still get the ones you really really like every now and then & a lot of them go on sale after a few months of being out so maybe save some $ too! Good luck with the building of your new family & May The Force Be With You All!!!

[@davidl7605]

Congratulations on the baby, Jack! I stopped the Black series right after the Force Awakens. They just got too expensive. Along with the other things I collect. I also have the occasional exception. Plus, there's no playsets and very few vehicles. Plus, there's a few TVC and Lego sets I don't have that I want. Once again Congratulations to you and your husband on the Baby Boy!

[@JediMaster738]

Thank you so much! Yes you're right the "extras" for the black series are minimal unless you want to pay $$$ for minimal product just because it's 6" scale

[@davidl7605]

@@JediMaster738 Like I said I really liked the Black Series when they first came out. But I collect Transformers, Retro G.I. Joe's from Wal-Mart and Hasbro pulse as well as TVC. And it just got to be too much, and now this Habro going plastic free on the packaging of the Transformers you can physically touch the Transformer in the box. They look like they belong on the dollar isle. So, the one's I like I get from BBTS Collector Grade because they wrap the whole box in plastic like a Christmas gift. So, no dust or fingerprints on the toy inside. I hope they don't go plastic free on TVC regular figs or the Retro line. Because the whole point is to make them look like the old 80's Kenner line. And the Haslab items have been lame except the Khatana Jabba's Sail Barge and the Razor Crest. They need to stick with TVC vehicles and playsets with the Haslab Star Wars items. a $500 Reeva lightsaber is not worth the $$. And I think it looks cheap. Plus, there are quite a few awesome looking LEGO sets that are out or coming out soon that I want. Thanks for reading my messages. I only have a few friends that are into collecting and, I could talk for hours about Star Wars Collecting. You have a wonderful week! And I hope you and your husband have a great 4th of July with family and friends!

[@Smansteel]

Congratulations on your baby! I remember when my son was born I stopped buying figures for a while. The baby is way more important than figures. But once he starts getting into toys you can get him started on his own Star Wars collection lol!

[@JediMaster738]

Yes I hope he likes it, it will be fun! Thanks so much!

[@spinxtercell]

Congratulations on the baby. I subbed yesterday

[@alanfields3418]

Congratulations Nicole!

[@reubensmart1757]

totally understand. I always limited myself exclusively to original trilogy ish figures and tbh I'm at the point where I have pretty much everyone I want? It's not to do with the quality of the figures. Maybe I'll take a break like you :) congrats on the baby!!

[@JediMaster738]

Thanks so much! Sometimes breaks are good! Ive always appreciated when people collected a star wars focus

[@DerekHaqq]

Same, I couldn't continue collecting both lines, picking and choosing the 3.75 figures too, don't need all of them

[@JediMaster738]

I used to want just everything and that feelings definitely gone away. Which is fine, quality over quantity 😌 thanks for watching!

[@collectorman101]

I kinda feel this tbh I've really lost interesting in collecting star wars if I go to flea markets or garage sales or antique stores and find something cool that I dont have ill buy it recent just bought a cody mighty mug and some books but im not forcing myself to buy figures

[@darthclueless9372]

Congratulations! Awesome invitations!

[@josephpaden6939]

So happy for you guys congrats 🎉

[@etheangel2220]

What?! A youngling? 👏👏

[@misaki7325]

Do nursery videos that sounds so cute!

[@alphakennyone3119]

I can relate. Too many shows, too many characters, too many formats, too many dollars.. and quite frankly, the content for Star Wars has been ordinary. Oh and all the best with that great news!

[@JediMaster738]

Thank you! And well said I agree

[@gabesstarwarscollection]

I also am uninterested in the new reveals especially the Kenobi reveals. I just want more unique revenge of the Sith figures, and original trilogy releases that have brand new sculpts. A new Bespin battle damaged Luke and a new Anakin or Greivous sculpt for example.

[@Rezikai]

Wooohoooo! Congratulations! Great Star Wars fans have great Star Wars children! As for the dropping of the Black Series for the 3.75 scale is the only reasonable way to collect. I gave up on Black Series last year and now I'm just Vintage Collection as 3.75 is the best scale of all time lol. I'm happy for you and please keep us updated and May the Force be with You!

[@JediMaster738]

Thanks so much!!! I know there's a good amount of collectors out there who are going back to just 3.75", time to join the club!

[@SIFIactual]

Bingo I guessed it before you said it..way to go..3 months maternity leave? Damm mums here can take a year..but dads get 3 weeks....yeah figures came second to me when I raised my boys and KZbin didn't exist..pretty sure your boy will be into Star Wars if the figures are all over the house and the movies are on TV..it's a no brainer..have fun you two..hope things go well. Cheers 👶

I had friends that were like hardcore game players they were even partnered on Twitch. Needless to say they haven't touched games in like 6 months since there kid was born.

[@matto5704]

I’d say most longtime collectors have made changes at some point. I remember saying I was only gonna collect the cantina scene. 1000 figures later… yeah right. Then only OT & sold off tons of stuff. Then decided that was too narrow thanks to Clone Wars and Mandalorian. Currently I buy most carded TVC and decent amount of Black Series. I have come to love how 6” figures display.
