While I am not retiring from collecting completely, I have stopped buying figs for all practical purposes....its not the money, or some lame-ass hard luck story like we often read about on here-I simply ran out of room. I am giving up my "man-cave" room (for my daughter-who now wants the 'cool' room in our house), soon I will post the MOTHER of all trading/selling pages as I want to get rid of the majority of my figs (which is around 500-600 fig-loose & MOC).....however I will be doing it in person, on CL, etc. I use to want to make ELITE trader status, but now I simply want to get rid of them....ASAP.
I have a storage unit rented until Christmas and I have been hauling stuff there so I can deconstruct my room. Soon I hope to post some photos of what I have available (Jakks box sets of "3 Faces of Foley" to the "Evolution of Sting" to the "Brothers of Destruction" sealed 2 pak to all of the cool Jakks figs & special releases to the current Mattel line and several new figs) however I don't anticipate trading much on this board. Currently, I am trying to come up with a very short list of a very few figs I have never found or got......I will try to deal for those and then sell the rest of my figs. For any one who is willing to travel & deal with me in person-they will definitely clean-up and get a deal of a life time....again those details are forth coming (if you are in the Carolinas-you can pm if you are interested).
In closing I want to thank a handful of folks here on these boards who have been helpful and nice to me personally: PJ (will probably still pm you for Batman info), Bandalero for fix-up help & honest opinions...Goldust & Chip for being very cool MODs, "The King Tony Stewart" for always being easy to deal with and Trevor at RSC for the same.
-Peace out,

A serious shame man. Im actually doing something somewhat similar myself. Getting to take up too much space. It was always a pleasure to deal with you man, and I wish you all the best with your collection.

Ah man sad to see you hanging it up. Family first though my friend.
Hope you still stay semi-active on here.

Sorry to see another one of the good ones going the route of "i need to get rid of everything" but of course family/kids come first....and think of it this way, we're in a hobby that the ability to re-build is actually quite easy. lol. especially when the daughter goes to college and you can take your room back!
Thanks for the shout out! Are you still gonna be posting on here?

Almost a crime but definitely a shame you never made elite status.
You should have been elite a while ago.

You sir must be a great father to give up your room and hobby for your daughter. That is very commendable and honorable! Although you may not be actively collecting, hopefully you can still drop by! =-)

Not gonna lie, between the new 3 pack, and these new "best of" re release sets, it's been going through my mind lately too. I mean the other day I was in Walmart and there were about 25 basic 28 rey mysterios, and about 15 khaki cenas. That's it. It's no fun driving around town searching for a decent figure and coming up short more times than not. That has never been the case before and shouldn't be now. I love my hobby and the product Mattel makes it's just some of their business decisions are ruining the hobby entirely.
Anyway shame to see you go.

I'm in Charlotte, NC and would highly consider coming down to grab some once I see a list. I'll be sure to keep checking the thread!

Its always alright to move on and who knows, maybe down the line a small collection might be in the cards. I'm tossing in my hat also right now, but more because I just can't connect with wrestling anymore. After I spent $55 on the past two PPVs to have absolute garbage thrown my way I realized I just don't have any desire to keep throwing money at a company when the action figures are the only quality thing they offer.

Ugh! Kids! They always want the cool stuff! lol When our daughter was born back in 98 I lost my man cave as well. Now it's spread out in the living room and our bedroom. lol
Any room in the basement or attic to set up your collection before you sell it off? And I'd say keep your favorites just in case a few months from now you want to start up again. And feel free to PM me about the Bat or anything else anytime. And it's cool toy are giving up your room for your daughter.

Well, seriously, good luck. It's very admirable that you're giving up your collection for your kids - I don't know if I could do it (I'd probably try to just box the toys up or something first, we've created a bad habit of just storing excess items in my wife's parents basement - not my toys though).
I only need the exclusive Triple H & maybe a few TRU BOPPV Basics and then I'm taking a break for a while too.... it's gotten way too frustrating to drive around endlessly looking for figures only to find stores that haven't restocked in months.... and with the Christmas season coming, E24, E25, and anything else new coming out just doesn't seem worth fighting large crowds to hunt for.... and I'm running out of room too!
Hopefully you'll still check in here and post!

INB4 this guy comes back in a year saying hes collecting again! And I dont understand what your saying, your looking for a short list of figures you never got but your selling your collection? That doesnt make any sense.

I don't know you or anything about you BUT I think adult toy collecting is EXTREME in most cases and I'd say keep ONE collection you want to go on with (like wwe mattel) and sell everything else. Get yourself those tall glass cases from ikea and some spice racks like (SORRY I FORGET WHO HAS THAT AMAZING PIC IN THIER SIG) and save space that way. I think if you keep one collection you love most - it wont sting so badly, looking back afterwards.
