Been stroking my chin over getting this chap, since seeing him in the local Forbidden Planet.
Found one on ebay today for £130. YOINK!
I could see Zod going the Bane route.
Yeah I have 23 and I think its getting to be a bit much.
Im the same...I have 30 something and love my collection but lately I feel right this is crazy need to back off.
Might get TWS and thats me..out of space in the room they are in and sick of being robbed by customs.
I would never sell my figures, at least not by choice, but I can see how others could. Keeping a rotation at a set number would keep a collection in check.
I only collect favorite characters, I just don't have the cash to be getting entire lines for the sake of it. I'm already in enough debt as it is, lol.I would never sell my figures, at least not by choice, but I can see how others could. Keeping a rotation at a set number would keep a collection in check.

That's what I'm trying to do. I love collecting but I have to keep tabs on it so I'm trying to only get characters that I really like. The trouble is, they creep in when you start thinking 'I have X so I really should get Y to compliment it'
I've limited myself to a few core Avengers (plus Loki), a GotG set (the whole team and hopefully Ronan) and Batman Armory. I worry though that once I have Batman, I'll want Selina and Bane (I'm already waiting for a Joker 2.0!).
How long have you been collecting Hot Toys/high-end figures? I don't want to assume just because of your recent joining date as you might be a veteran who's lurked for years before officially joining the forums, but if you are indeed fairly new to this, I'd say there's a chance of your eventually learning to shake off the "must have" feeling sooner or later.
I was like that. I know a lot of fellow collectors who were like that. My first HT was 89 Batman. When I got him I said "I need to get Joker soon!", and I did, just a few days after. I was one of those guys who'd post "where's (insert character's name here), HT?!" just because one from the same franchise was released. I spent hours online looking for good deals as I backtracked figures released when I wasn't into HTs yet, just so the display would "make more sense". Now, I'm like "oh I love Rocket and Groot. Nope, I can live without Star-Lord. Sure he looks great, but I'd be fine without him".
Your mileage may vary, though
