Before I start, please do not put any references to that blue IC belt.
The main reason that I stopped collecting is I need to grow up. I'm already on the teen stage and I just lost all my interest for wrestling figures in particular and toys in general. It was a great,long run ,though. At the first time that I saw those SDCC Figs, I was like WOW! I'm so buying this! But I realized that I'm just wasting my money on these toys. I looked at them again and I just lost my interest for them already. My last figure was an E21 Ryback. Bye.

You can always still post on here even though you don't collect figures anymore

You need to grow up.... Yeah right... Watch; When you are all "grown up" you'll start collecting again and be like "Why was I so stupid stopping collecting figure"  Good luck in your future endeavors  |

I just turned 29 and I never grew out of it. I dont play with them but I love setting them up in poses. All my friends and girls I show my collection to have all loved it. They always say its cool that I dont hide or am ashamed of my real likes and preferences unlike other guys who try to put on an act of being Mr Cool guy.
But if you are quitting because you are no longer interested or fun, its understandable. Dont quit for anyone or because you care what others may think. Later!

29 years old and still going hard at it. No plans on quitting for me. I know if I tried, Id end up having to pay a high price catching up later on when I gave in and started collecting again. Its not about growing up. Im grown and have the money to buy what I want so thats what i do.

17 (turning 18 next month) And i still collect and play with figures, it's a great hobby and i don't feel that it's just aimed at children/teens. There's no need to treat letting go of figures as growing up. Growing up is not about letting go of material possessions; it's mentally and physically progressing.

LOL "I need to grow up"........ I hate these threads. Why do people feel they need to make an announcement when they start/stop collecting. 99.8% of the board doesnt even know who half the people that post these are. Its not like PJ or Stom coming on saying "well...Im done guys"

You said your "moving on to the teen stage" and "need to grow up" i'm guessing that means your embarrassed? Enjoy your childhood and stop looking at the glass half empty. your childhood isn't over yet. Do what makes you happy and not others. If your into figures then buying them isn't a waste of money.
You'll be back though, everyone is back sooner or later. Wrestling figures are like drugs you buy one and your hooked on them you may take a break but you always come back to them and get reeled in. LOL

Oh yeah "the natural development stages". On and off collector here and its just one of few things I get amusement from. Maybe I need to expand my interest too.

I think we all reach that point growing up. I know I did. I lost interest in wrestling, then subsequently lost interest in wrestling figures in my early 20s. I got rid of most of my wrestling figures and accessories. A few years later I started again with Marvel figures, then when Mattel took over the WWE license I started buying those. I collect WWE figures, LEGO sets, lots of Marvel stuff, video game figures and collectables, etc. I'll be 27 in December and I collect lots of toys! I think as a teen we care too much about what people think about us and we make decisions based on it. I respect your decision, it's your life. However, my advice is to not be hasty in selling or getting rid of your figures. I'd wait a couple of years because you might come back around. As we get older we tend to gravitate toward things that brought us pleasure in our youth. Some of my fondest memories are sitting in my bedroom floor playing with BCAs.

I stopped collecting once my entire life. It had nothing to do with High School, football teammates, girlfriends, friends older then me or anything....I stopped cause Titan Tron Live figures sucked. Id go to HS mon-friday, friday night Id play a football game, nail the ol lady in the bed of a Ford Ranger and then Saturday morning I was up and on my way to Toys R Us after physical therapy. Stop worrying about what people think and be yourself and who you want to be.

I stopped when my parents said "it's time to grow up". Sounds exactly like your situation. If your friends actually care about what you collect and think/speak negatively of it.. They're not really friends are they? Do your thing, you'll be back, took me 10 years to realize how much I missed my child/teenagehood. Be your own person and F the rest

You need to grow up?  what others think, do what you enjoy and like to do. What is normal and not is just based on society's views anyway. |
