Not at all! I can't sleep well when I know I've got an order coming. When the order arrives , I mark out like a little girl. I can't keep up as it is! Alex Riley elite in the future, grotesque Cody Rhodes elite coming, so much to be excited for!

I'm getting a bit sick of Basic figures. It seems like I repeat the same cycle and buy a different variation of Barret, Orton, Cena Morrison and Del Rio every other week. I'm definitely going to take it easy with Basic figures for a while. I just completed Elite 11 within the span of 5 days and that's gotten me pretty happy. I'm going to definitely cut back getting multiples of the same damn superstars. lol. But the future is looking bright. 2-packs 13, Elite 12, Basic 13 debut Vickie, new Zeke, etc. Looking forward to a lot of new stuff.

It seemed like there was always little pieces of news, new set announcement, legends signings and so on when Jakks had the license....it definitly seems more "boring" now. Another thing that sucks is, we are looking for new news all the time but we pretty much know all the legends being released which also makes it a little dissapointing at the same time ...if that makes any sense. I know its not gonna happen but I wish the legends series, and legends 2 packs would come back.

Nope!
I don't get bored at all when there is a steady stream of new stuff popping up. My only minor complaint is the wait at times for something/anything new to hit the local stores.

waiting sucks but thats what happens when you start collecting out of the gate and have money to get whoever you want. i feel more blessed that i get to be bored waiting for series instead of hiding figures at retail or saving up all week to get one to put towards my collection.

I prefer the Mattel product but Jakks was definately more fun as like others have said, they were always announcing something, then again they rolled out more product at a faster rate due to constant kitbashing and quick repaints which is why the heights were all off.
But I feel that Mattel has enough molds in different body types to be able to kitbash (mix old molds for a new version of a character or add a new head scupt for a new character) a bit to roll stuff out faster without getting as inaccurate at Jakks.
For example Basic Christian's Legs + Jack Swagger Upper Body + Bret Hart Head = New Basic Bret Hart
Also Jakks did the whole "Street Gear" Superstars in jeans and t-shirts which Mattel have already stated they will not do (at least in basics as they seem to hate molded shirts and prefer those ugly rubber things they put on the elites) even though they do have a shirt mold since we did get a Tommy Dreamer figure.

It's not that I'm bored but waiting REALLY sucks it was like with Jakks I would get new figs in TRU monthly but now we wait like 2-3 months before the next series comes out. It's friggin' annoying.

I do want the Rey/Cody 2 pack now that I checked it though coming with grotesque mask and knee brace I'm in. Glad they're finally including accessories now and with that my collecting boredom is gone

Boring, no; frustrating at long stretches of time before things hit local retail, yes; frustrating with the constantly increasing prices, HELL YES

Nope. Im saving money with the wait. I have yet to see E10 so yeah no biggie. This. I got the fever when I found the WM series at TRU a few weeks back, but now it's for E12, B13 & 2Pk13 which will all arrive to me this month. Got some money saved up too for the next round of pre orders that come up (which I can't wait for).

I go through spurts every now and again. Like Terra said, when WM hit at TRU I had a good couple days. Now my want list is shorter (so is my money.)
I do have a few that I'm looking for but I wouldn't say I'm totally bored. Sure, I wish stores had better selection but maybe its a good thing to be on a break for a little while.

it's more frustrating not finding the figures i want and when i do, it's probably missing a belt or some accessories... I might end up just pre-ordering figures in the future to save myself gas and time.

I get bored every once in a while but not bored right now. As soon as I get my car back from the shop, I'm gonna start searching for elite 10 and 11 which everyone is finding today, then hopefully ringside fest and retailers getting more toys for the holidays keeps me interested.

I know its not gonna happen but I wish the legends series, and legends 2 packs would come back. I don't know if I'd use the word "bored" for myself, but I agree with this - as primarily a legends collector, I feel like it's been forever since we had some good news and/or some new figures that I was dying to get (other than that Bret DM). It still bugs me a ton that the line is dead in retail and that we're not going to get a lot of guys who deserve to be made ... I never collected Jakks classics, but looking at the list they have, it bugs me. Hopefully we can keep it going strong and surprise them with the numbers sold on the internet legends. The Bret/Cena DMs, my most recent big purchases, are completely awesome, though. Mark

Idk I'm just not feeling the same way about my collection. I'm prob gonna sell off a bunch of them and start focusing only on guys I really like. No more current superstars.
I think the combination of lack of news, less legends are a big part but the whole anticipation of the hunt seems to be over for me. Thats what really made collecting fun for me. With all these Chumlees making it hard to get figs and crappy distribution, I'm pretty buying everything online and paying more than these already crazy prices mattels go for in stores. I remember when new Jakks figs were about to drop I would check stores and feel a sense of excitement and accomplishment when I found what I was looking for. Now its just a waste of gas, time and a lot of frustration.
Even with E12 Kane preordered and my Vince figs on the way I'm not excited. I'm waiting to see what E13 and RS Fest have in store. I really think that will help me decide whether to put collecting on hold or not.
