Hi!
As for Austria I guess, about 400-420 figures is quite a lot, especially when you see how much more difficult it is to get on figures and at what prices you buy them retail (about 33 $ for Elites and 19 $ for Basics)
I collect Mattel since 2010, probably spend around 9 to 10.000 $ in that time.
I'm just curious....how much have you spend and how many figures do you own (especially in regards to the space needed)?

Over 500. Various lines though. Many sold through the years and broke. Thousands. Makes me happy though

Around 100 figures. Only about 18 WWE elites. I used to buy a lot more but it lead to me getting bored with the hobbie. Now I only collect figures that I love.

All the figures I have and I've never actually counted them
I imagine its a pretty good amount since I collect moc and loose
Only basics and elites.....except for my jakks RSC sherri Martel that I got loose and cheap as hell from ringside for like $3

I've well surpassed 1000 figures and counting. As for the dollar total, I don't want to have a heart attack so I don't even think about making those calculations.

Mattel only - I probably have 60 MOC, 125-150 loose plus an ASR, and classic cage
I've easily spent 5-7 thousand since Mattel got the license. I've traded and sold and regained several figures.
Not Mattel but my heftiest wrestling item purchase was the Undertaker resin statue. Followed by my replica WHC

Currently have 168 Mattel WWE figures. A distant third place after my Transformers and DC collections. I have close to 1000 figures in total (also collect Marvel Legends, Star Wars 6" and various NECA lines). Probably spent more money on toys over the past 10 years than I did on my car. LOL!

Over 500. Various lines though. Many sold through the years and broke. Thousands. Makes me happy though I have over 250. Not sure how much I've spent but what you said is dead on, "Makes me happy though". That's what collecting is all about. |

Well over 100 MISB figures. Mostly Mattel elites and JAKKS classic And I don't want to think about how much I've spent, But i always tell myself since they aren't open, it's like money in the bank. But I could be crazy. Plenty of people spend money on things that aren't necessary and have nothing to show for it (Starbucks/coffee habit, cigs, etc) so at least if I buy a figure I always see a value in it. Even if it's just my money back, if I ever decide one day I want out. Which I don't see happening.

Few 1000 and to be honest most of us don't put a price tag on what we have spent because it's over such a long time frame. However the scariest part is putting a rice tag on how much it's worth to the open market with no sentimental attachment, and the add that on. Many of us are talking a car

Wow.....quite some numbers! Actually have started collecting back with Hasbro and later collected Jakks as well....got about 700 figures in the prime, then sold them all after starting with Mattel.
Sure sold a number of figures as well, as I try to collect in characters and often don't need the second figure in a Battle pack or a figure in a BAF set.

Been collecting only since Jan 23rd. I have about 70 figs, some of which I bought loose off Ebay, brand new from ringside, or at TRU/Wal Mart. I've spent around USD $3000 in total I think..... yeah.....
I have only been buying Mattel Elites, and any Divas, and that is how it will stay. I open all my figures.
