Since the beginning of 2015 we are getting like 5 times the legends figures if u include the basics and BP's, target hof and 4 packs, tru spotlight, return of DM, etc so yes I do sometimes lol I don't want to see any more repeats either other than e16 Nash as well. We need some fresh faces in the line now

I'm kind of exhausted, retail is way out of date, besides TRU, and my card expired there and they never sent a new one, and I really don't care enough to get it sorted out. The only places on the cutting edge are Ringside and Amazon and I don't want to pay their prices just to have things asap, so I'm just sort of abstaining until after SDCC, unless Walmart feels like dropping a B62/63/E43/BP41/Mean Gene BAF cube soon, I'd drop a couple hundo on that.

Not overwhelmed, but in some ways it's a relief not thinking about collecting every one of something. I had certain complete subsets that have recently fallen by the wayside, like... 1. having one of every character ended with the Ascension. 2. my full elite collection has probably ended at E39 Ziggler. 3. if you include Rock/Farooq as an FB, then my FB completeness also ended. Wouldn't buy that set even at $22 on Amzazon. 4. complete Diva set done in by not finding Walmart AJ. That Ziggler is so far the only main elite line figure I've missed. Just wasn't interested. I'll pick it up at some point though.

Yeah but I guess I've gotta pick and choose which ones I want most.

yes. its why im cutting back and selling more of my older stuff. they really are releasing too much stuff in a calendar year. if it was cut down just a bit it would be much easier.

It's not overwhelming to me but my SO is certainly fatigued. She isn't just as interested as physically and virtually scouring the globe to add to the collection. She atleast is down for the Basics are for plebs mentality lol. I guess making that distinction is how I keep myself from being overwhelmed.
I've learned a lot by lurking this board for six months and eventually joining that there are people just like me who love the hunt.

Your lucky Mattel don't do a full CS series like Jakks did lol. How often did Jakks release the CS series? (serious question)

I feel like that too at times but lately I've been cutting back on figures. Latley a lot of the figures have been disappointing so I haven't been buying any. I think the last one I bought was an elite Sid and then now I just got a Funk because it was on sale. Ironically, this situation has helped me in the long run as I've been able to buy other things I need.

Very much so but looking forward to hopefully getting some cheap figs on Prime Day. I'm so much overwhelmed, I want the Vaudevillians badly and can't pull the plug just yet. I'll wait for retail.

Yeah, TBH my interest has kind of waned in the elites. I'm also a flashback-only collector but I've got a big shelf full and now I feel that I'm only buying them out of a sense of need or afraid I'll miss it instead of really wanting them. Oddly enough, I've been eyeing the basic flashbacks lately and picking them up. I don't know, I might start collecting those instead. The price is much better, it's possible to be caught up, and I find myself actually excited about what's coming out next instead of cringing over the stress on my bank account.

No, but I've got a pretty good job. I actually feel there's a lack of figures in which I desire

Yeah a little, but a lot of it with me is the other stuff I collect. I have just finished off my Playarts and now variants of 3 of the Marvel figures are coming (another $400 also to get them). I have also dropped about $1k on signed Bret Hart cards over the past month (and new 2016 undisputed looking to have a bunch more for me to get). Not to mention I plan on buying Joker and Harley Quinn hot toys from suicide squad as we close out the year. And lastly, Enterbays new 1/9 line is AMAZING and I have Steph on pre-order already, and yep I am overwhelmed. But they are only toys so I'll only get what makes sense with the money I have...
I have a bunch of stuff still to sell, so that will help out a bit...

Sorry for the dumb question, just curuous.

Your lucky Mattel don't do a full CS series like Jakks did lol. I didn't mind when Mattel or Jakks did it. It was easier to catch up. They did one what? every other month or whenever they came out and i was done. Now its 2 per wave, HOF, then the spotlight, then the four packs and then exclusives. I don't mind it but its a pain to try and find them too.

I feel bummed because after getting married and my wife unable to work nowvand with school and my current job not paying enough, my collecting days are over for the foreseeable future. It sucks because I really, really want Anvil, Joe, and KO.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. e39 killed it for me. I've missed so many flash backs (IRS, Rude, Umaga, GAB Sting, Kid, Lita, Funk, Nasties, Harts, DM Warrior, nod 2 pack, walgreens shawn,rsc exclusives) and I know I'm going to miss so many more (savage, Tugboat) that I feel SO overwhelmed. It's gonna be way too expensive to play catch up, so I don't know where I stand anymore... I feel done even though I don't want to be. Overwhelming and depressing.
