*Yawn*
Been looking every day for news or hints of new sets, but I feel as if I'm going to be waiting until July for SDCC for any news.
Just getting bored waiting for it, and anxious all the same.

I'm so old, I started collecting in the days before the internet. I had to wait for Christmas catologs, backs of packaging, and those little pamphlets toy companies put in their boxes. Actually Jakks BCA figures were a total surprise. I walked into a Toy Works one day and there they were.

I collect both basics and elites, but I'm getting tired of waiting for the Kevin Nash proto

I feel your pain - try being a Legends collector! Right? I think I may pass on Bundy. I REALLY need Arn and Liz, but that's another couple months away. I'm so old, I started collecting in the days before the internet. I had to wait for Christmas catologs, backs of packaging, and those little pamphlets toy companies put in their boxes. Actually Jakks BCA figures were a total surprise. I walked into a Toy Works one day and there they were. Yeah, I used to do that as well. Wasn't a collector, but I had JCPennys huge book and TRU Catalogs that I would look through for hours as a child and pretend I had all the toys.

it will be worse after sdcc Yep. Once everyone Pre-Orders E17/18, B21/22, and BP18/19. There's that long wait until October for anything else new. Last year we got E12 PO in July, and had to wait until Late-October to get them.

Jumping into collecting Elites just recently so I am playing catch up which tides me over until the new series are released. But I can sympathize as it is like that with other collections I follow and am caught up with.

*Yawn* Been looking every day for news or hints of new sets, but I feel as if I'm going to be waiting until July for SDCC for any news. Just getting bored waiting for it, and anxious all the same. Idk what you want man.. I mean Battle Packs 16 and 17 just dropped, Basic 18, 19, and 20 are up for order, Elite 15 didn't even hit retail yet and Elite 16 is up for pre order. Legends Exclusive Bundy just dropped last Monday and Arn is coming in July. There is so much new stuff out right now I cant even get caught up on it all atm because there droppin new elite sets every few months and doing basics like every other month and same with Battle Packs. Just remember this, cause you can afford it all and don't have major bills to pay, there are a ton of collectors and ppl out there that do have a ton of bills to pay and are falling pretty far behind as is with the way things are being released. I think how there doing it now is perfect. I for one don't feel like spending all hundreds or hundreds of my hard earned dollars every month on action figures when i can spend a little here and there and still afford to make a go and get other stuff i need.

I collect elites, so anything else that comes out right now does not pertain to me. The title says "Slow times for an Elite Collector". Nowhere did it mention anything along the lines of Basic Figures or Battle Packs. I have: Mortgage Yearly Property Taxes Yearly School Taxes Car Payments Utilities Cable Phone Gas Money Food Money Clothes Funds Extra Funds "Just In Case" Savings account Don't imply that I don't have bills, because I do. I'm 28 years old, engaged, and have my own house so I know all about them, especially when something breaks and I either have to buy the parts or call a repair man. Just because I can afford extras when I want, don't get hostile with me and attack me for it.

Pwned *ahem Nerd CDS! who uses the word Pwned. ha Also, I'm sure if you had all those bills then, times wouldn't be so slow as a figure collector is what i'm saying. I pay a ton of stuff myself and live on my own to so it never gets slow for me buying toys when i have a ton of other stuff to pay also.

I don't think that the op said anything at all about the speed in which the figures were coming out, it was (always is the issue actually) that we never get any damn protos of things to look forward to. It's always pre-order now, and hope you like it when we show it to you a week before the product drops. And this may be hard to concieve, but did it ever occur that the majority of these guys on here that have near complete collections might just have really good jobs to afford the other things in life? That maybe they don't NEED these figures like some people on here act but that they WANT and can afford them. I have a new old house and hundreds of projects on it, education loans, Car payments, property tax, utilities, savings, the whole nine yards like most members on here and I still keep a pretty good collection. I have also worked as many as 3 jobs at a time before, so an attack on one is an offense to all who work hard in life to have the sort of things they want from it.

I'm sure paying everything yourself is hard, I have someone to split the bills with and spend the rest of my life with. This isn't a competition on who spends more on what bills. I have all bills mentioned just someone to help with it. I just don't understand why you felt the need to attack me for wanting more figures. Just because you can't afford what I can doesn't mean you should troll.

Im not trolling you at all. All im saying is there is plenty released and un released still right now, and the newer stuff after whats out is not coming til SDCC. I said ya gotta understand because you can spend everything on figures does not mean everyone can is all. Im pretty happy with the way things are being released because its perfect to where im paying what i need and managing to catch up after a few newer series are released. If Mattel was pumping them out every single month, they would lose the line because ppl couldnt buy them everytime at the high prices there at is all. I didn't say anything offensive to you about it. I did call CDS a nerd for using the word pwned but that was all really. No need to get mad bro.

All I'm saying is the way you had your statement worded made it feel like an attack, saying that basically I didn't have to pay bills and everything else that comes along with life. But again, this thread is merely for the Elite Collectors. Everything else that's been released aside from that means nothing to me. Don't get me wrong, the Basics are extremely nice, but they're not for me anymore. The case is dropped and this thread can resume back on topic.
