Wow I love this hobby
No offense but, didn't you just start collecting about 2 months ago and now you're already thinking about selling?
Maybe another is hobby is in store for you in the near future.
I just preorder capt Rex today too. I also order capt hook ex which now I really don't want. But too late to cancel this without the fine from SS. I got the alien ex resurrection too small, catwoman dc museum statue, dooku ventress statue that I think is too small so I don't want those anymore. I'm going to try to control myself more. 
but thanks for the reality check. that's what I like about this forum. It knocks some sense into me when I really need it.
You all want to know the single best thing I've ever heard anyone say regarding this subject? It's a phrase that hit me close to home and one that I've remembered practically every day since...
"I don't need to own it in order to appreciate it."
Think about that for a minute. Just because you like something, just because you admire it's craftsmanship and/or appreciate the artistry of the sculpt, tailoring, whatever...that doesn't mean you have to own it. You can still enjoy it without investing your time, money and space in the physical object.
Let's face it, we're all nerds here. I know, I know, some of you are badass and athletic and wealthy and spend your nights banging super hot girls, we get it...but if you're doing all of that and still hanging around here? You're a huge dork. Deal with it. Frustratingly, there's an odd sentiment in the nerd community that says you have to own something related a certain property in order to be considered a true fan of it. As if the nerd who foolishly stockpiles tons of Hasbro Star Wars crap somehow has more credibility than the one who buys only what he or she truly enjoys and sees real (relative) value in. It's madness. Personally, I don't care if a person owns 1 figure or 1000. They still have eyes, they've seen the same high-resolution photos and ridiculous video reviews we all have; Their opinion is still valid and their fandom is still strong, why do we pretend otherwise?
I'll tell you why, it's to justify our own unnecessary spending. "I know I've spent a lot of money this year, but I'm a REAL collector." Please. It's nonsense. No one cares, no one is going to give you a medal and no matter what you may have read, "he who dies with the most toys" doesn't win a damn thing...he mainly just leaves behind a giant pile of plastic $#!t for his loved ones to deal with.
Nope. I most certainly don't need to own something in order to appreciate it and that little mantra has saved me literally thousands of dollars throughout the years. I can only imagine how much more it will save me as I continue collecting - and make no mistake, I will continue to collect - only what's really "important" to me.

u the man!!Can I come over to your house and play and watch a movie?
Sure, but it would be quite the trip
We live in the same country and it'd still take me forever to get over there
