I was buying figures of wrestlers who I hadn't seen wrestle. So yeah I was buying figures just for the hell of it. Stopped that now thankfully

He sent it to me loose, as a gift for giving him a good review. This was over a month ago and I didn't get the belt. Then a member on here who lives in my hometown bought me one the day E22 hit our area. Then I ordered one from TRU.com on Monday with the 15% off coupon, to get another belt. It arrived today. Then I saw 2 E22 Rocks at Gordmans last night. I bought one to keep MOC. I will order diff shirts/attires to put on them from R*lph. I'm nopt a scalper by any means. Just kind of happened. And the only one I bought at retail, was when I saw 2 last night. |

I'd say you're a compulsive buyer.

Almost always. I can always find something to buy when I don't find what I went out looking for...so it's not a wasted trip. lol

if we had American prices here in Germany I'd quite possibly do this. But we don't so I don't.

Between student loans, cell phone, comics, blu-rays/dvds, roh dvds (needs its own category, WWE figures, DC comic toys, and beer I am constantly broke. Collector problems are money problems.

I've ended up doing that a few times. I usually buy the figure I most want from an Elite set online, and look for the 1 or 2 others I want in store. I have to drive 1 hour east or 2 hours west to go to any stores so I usually just check when I'm there anyways, but if I make that drive just to hunt I almost always come back with something. Most recently it ended up being an Elite Sandow. I thought it looked cool but it wasn't a priority, but my brother reminded me that I might as well get something since we were already there. Its an awesome figure and I'm glad I picked it up.

back in the jakks days, i would just go to wal mart or whatever and almost refuse to go home without a new wwe figure. nowadays, with figure prices double what they used to be-no; HELL NO actually. Same here man. But since then my expenses have gone up and so have prices of figures, so I've been more careful with my money. |

I have done this before, but not so much anymore. I would be out hunting and get so frustrated at finding nothing. A few years ago I got so fed up that I ended up buying a TNA Matt Morgan. I don't collect the line but it was the first new figure I had seen all day, and I refused to end the day with nothing.
