I just gave away most of my figures to my sons. I only kept 10 figures total out of over 100. I can't keep up and don't like how much time, space and money I spend on the damn things. The only things i'll be buying from now on are machos, Hart, Andre and if we get another, Rick Rude and M$M

When secondary markets drops lines die. This is just a fact one of the hottest toy lines is funko pop huge secondary market I would say this has to do with re-release figures. I'm not selling my collection ever so I'm not worried about the "value" of my figures, but straight re-release figures kind of take the fun out of collecting. Rare figures, figs that were released years ago and are a little harderto come by, not being able to have every fig in the line...those things keep it interesting. Before ebay when i was younger (I know) my friends and I would always bring our collections to each others houses, marvel over the ones we couldn't get/have played and traded figs. Another reason could be quality control. When you spend $20 or more on a figure you'd expect quality control to be there. Idk those are my theories on why the secondary market is dropping. And I agree with you completely once that starts to drop the line starts to die. I would think the over ordering by retail would kill it alone.
