I've been collecting for nearly 2 years and have about 100 figures probably myself. They are all MOC and take up a hell of a space. I usually buy a figure I like then if I end up with more than 2 of any wrestler I sell one on. I don't have any out on display as I do not have the space but one day I will get round to it lol.

I'm one of the collectors who keeps the majority of their figures in storage drawers the majority of the time, as I mainly use my collection for pictures/videos.
I will say, though, I hate that feeling after I trade/sell toys from my collection. Even when it's a fair deal, I always wonder if I'll ever need/want/have that figure again. I'm a little weird like that. haha

Yeah I'd hate to sell a figure only to realise that later down the line it was that superstar's only figure and worth a fortune lol

I don't sell any I just remove some of my least favorites from the shelves for better versions or other wrestlers I like more. The removed ones just go into bins in the closet.

You started 18 months ago and you have 100? Now you need to sell some to buy more? That would bother me. I'm so strict with myself about this hobby. I started 23 months ago and I have about 30 loose and 30 moc. My ultimate goal is 100 figures by around the time mattels contract runs out. List them on eBay, usually you can sell them for the same if not more than you paid. Damn, should I feel bad then because I've probably bought over 300 since Easter of last year, so almost a year and a half??!! No bro. Don't feel bad, that's just my thing to be hard on myself to not let things get out of control. It's a little easier for me because I only collect elite legends and flashbacks from pre 2000 wwf/wcw.

I completely stopped watching wrestling in 2000. I'm not a fan anymore. I watch the wwe network archives just about every day though. I'm still obsessed with the wwf and wcw both.

I had no intention of buying current roster figures when I got back in a little over a year ago. Until they released Shield figures. One thing lead to another and now I have a whole shelf dedicated to the current roster. I have no self control when it comes to toys lol.

Having a large display doesn't interest me at all. I started collecting with the idea that I'd only collect one of each of my favorite superstars. 2 and 1/2 yrs later, I've stuck with that pretty closely, with the exception of having 5 Shawn Michaels. LOL Just make yourself a list. Stick w/ an era.

I've been an in and out guy since around 2000 but I watch the ppvs obviously because of the Network. As you said though, 90% of the stuff I watch on there is pre 2000...
