Idk about u guys but I really haven't been excited about collecting as of late. I remember when there was a new item coming out like every other week. Now its like we are always begging for new info on releases. We're constantly waiting for an event to announce lineups instead of just telling us. Slow distribution and lack of news has really made it less fun for me. Especially with the decreased number of legends being released next yr. Its like how many times can we come on the board and read posts about what is your current favorite figure (no offense). Anyone else feel this way?

Its felt like this alot as i have gotten older . It seems like everyday im into different lines : one day basics , next day di figures . I used to animate and pic fed but thats all gotten boring in time and i have no place to put them , so they just sit in a box . its also the fact in england we dont get legends , dms . i feel like im left out and im not paying a hefty price for the ones i want , guess ill have to wait .

I am getting a bit bored.
Bored enough that I also started collecting other lines. (Star Wars and Marvel Universe).

I am new to collecting but I feel that the amount of info that is given is just enough to make me want to know more. I don't think it is to little or to much. I love how they are releasing "new to the line" figures, belts, and changing the packaging soon too. Doing that keeps everything fresh. That's just my opinion though.

I agree bud. I'm 23 years old and I don't have the same collecting excitement I once did. I think that higher prices and slower amount of releases really results in a lack of excitement. I was pumped for Bret and now the only figure announced that I really have ANY interest in is Elite 12 Kane (debut attire).

its kinda frustrating , i mean dont mind waiting for line ups i know ill buy but the ones i wont and rarely anyone else does feel like a waste of space . i mean for example did we need another truth / cena ? hell go to my smyths buy the 50 of the cenas thats there and just get them out of the way before anothe C bomb . maybe its the environment , poopty figs and nothing in stores kinda darken my days.

Last January is when I got board. After basic series 8 showed up I started to get burned out with the repaints and how easy it was to find stuff. Without the chase figures and the way stuff would pile up there was no challenge in finding anything. Now it is just silly how the stuff from basic 9 and elite 7 are still showing up in stores.

Eh, somewhat for me. Mainly because the lack of distribution and high prices. I remember back in the day I used to purchase tons of jakks figures with just $20. That was able to get a single figure, and maybe a 2 pack for like $18 together. Times have changed a lot since then obviously, so now I only buy figures I really like. I don't feel like dishing out $20 for one figure each week, I'm still a college student and in need of a part time job.

I barely have gotten any of the figs I'm after since I'm Canadian so until Mattel improves distribution, the collecting desire won't die.

Being a Legends only guy, I feel like it's been forever since we've heard any news. I'm just waiting for the end of this month when I get my Kane and Papa Shango in the mail. I can't wait to have those 2 in my possession.

I am not bored, just caught up so it's been kind of slow this last month or so. Which, in my mind, is a good thing because I can always use the extra money at this time of year with the holidays comming and what not.
