Will I QUIT Collecting? : Reasons I Think People A Losing Interest in Collecting

[@YakBat]

Legit only need Trypticon and the Coneheads, preferably the ZETA/TW ones and I'm done with MPTF collecting. IT's almost worth it to me to pay the high prices for the coneheads and the Titans Trypticon just to be done with it as my stylized homage to Studio Ox's Goodbye Megatron picture will be complete. Thankfully I haven't felt the need to upgrade much, still rocking most early 3P figures like MakeToys Megatron. Think I will get rid of the rest of Transformers except for Prime. 10:10 They legit did went to task to make a better tasting brussel sprout. Plant breeders spent decades perfecting the ones we buy now. At 42 raised on G1, I prefer non transforming figures and kits like the Furai series more now so i've moving towards that.

Yoo, my favorite part of this comment, is the Brussel sprout knowledge 😆 Thanks for that.

For me it's pricing, time of delivery, the wait for figures to come out and quality of the product that keeps me for going all out in buying new figures. Also, if the tariffs goes up that cost could go to the collectors.

[@inflewence]

I feel that!

[@primedynamixx]

Nope!!! I’m here for it!

[@ManumusMaximus]

Naw, it’s not that. Once you get your favorites and you have to wait on figures to come out. Well you said that. Then you look at the different sized lines………

[@inflewence]

Not me. I'm running from new lines😆😆

Well between collecting Fanstoys and Masterverse New Eternia and Masters Of The Universe Origins I’m pretty busy. I still very much enjoy collecting, but I’ve gotten very far away from the social media part of it. People suck and are quick to criticize. I don’t use the reviews like I used to and I just let myself indulge without too much outside influences anymore.

[@inflewence]

That sounds like a good way to reignite the love. Glad you are still enjoying it.

@@inflewencegreat video man, it’s a breath of fresh air.

[@christophersteen1873]

Yeah my collection is not even enormous, I have maybe 125 figures total. But I'm satisified with just going to ross and seeing what I can get a super deal on instead of trying to keep up with all the versions and releases from all the 3rd party.

[@inflewence]

True

[@tassosk.5414]

To me releasing the same characters again and again which although objectively are better looking becomes tiring e.g. Bruticus by MMC and now by Magic Square, so now you want to have the best one so again you have to spend money for the same figure! Also space is running out so you can’t keep everything! Also lately I find myself being more attached with order figures that were released 10 years ago! 😊

Personally, I burned myself out. I was just buying too many figures to the point where I was no longer excited when I got them home. I took a break and now only buy the MUST HAVES. lol Almost everything I buy is 3rd party or KO. Hasbro just doesn't release anything compelling anymore.
