So I've come to a decision a couple of days ago to sell off my collection and pursue different things in life.Ive lost the excitement of ripping open a new box of Elites a while ago. Im not at all saying Mattel has gone downhill as I still get excited seeing all the new figure designs and protos but I feel my money is best spent elsewhere to further my future. I'm not on the level of Wfigs greats who have come and gone but I wanted to just throw it out there that the past couple of years being on here has been amazing. So many great minds and ideas about wrestling and I just wanted to say you guys and girls are awesome. I'll still be lurking around the site here and there and I hope to see some epic stuff in the future for all of you still collecting. It's been real

I decided about a week ago I wasn't collecting anymore either. They just became boring to me.
It will save you a lot of money! Lol.

Yeah besides the money which I have plenty to spare it just didn't bring any excitement anymore. Pretty much became me opening up the figure, looking at them for a couple of minutes, then packing them away somewhere.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do next. Sometimes I feel like you and want to sell off my collection, but then I remember how much time and money I've spent acquiring these things. Haha
And by the way, there's no such thing as a "Wfigs great". 20,000 posts of gibberish means nothing. Everyone is of equal status in my eyes.

Welcome to the quitters club. In about 2 months you'll realize how overpriced these toys are and you won't believe you actually used to buy them.

I quit collecting toys when I was 13. Now I have a 6 year old son so I buy them for him, and it's fun for me to build his collection. I'll be done when he is completely over it.

Yeah man, I agree with that, I've been an active member for over 10 years, & I'm not even at 10,000....some people just comment on everything

I'd totally quit. But God knows I won't get the money back that I spent.

I just got back in the game a year ago, so I have no intentions to quit. I have waxing and waning periods but never totally quit. Right now I'm looking forward to what's in store at SDCC and then Shockmaster

Good luck to you.
Make sure though, as many have said the same and spent even more money buying back figures

I would keep the ones that are expensive, just in case you get the itch again

I don't think it's really possible to "quit" and still lurk around here (unless you're really into the non-figure related subforums). It's honestly tantamount to a recovering alcoholic hanging out at a bar. At some point, you're going to give.
Especially if there's like an epic announcement of Owen or something like that. And if you have sold all your stuff, you'll end up paying 3-4x what you originally paid to get it back (and maybe not even all of it). Then you'll be kicking yourself.
I know this is unsolicited. But my advice, take a few days, hell maybe a few weeks (or through Comic Con) before you start selling stuff. If you still feel the same way, go for it. But I don't think you'll be helping your case by lurking on a regular basis.
I mean maybe you have ultra will-power and can deal with it. It just doesn't seem worth the energy to me... Especially if you want to pursue new things, which will require a new set of efforts. Just my $0.02.

I quit once a good 7 years ago,sold everything off then regretted it a year or 2 later lol. needless to say I have a big collection of figures now (wwe and others).
I will say this though, I recently have cut down a little bit on the WWE stuff in favor for other lines. there are SO MANY quality lines out right now that its hard to buy everything so im a bit more selective when it somes to wwe (no basics, no repaints etc)

I've thought about putting an end to my collection as well more than a few times. Hell, I've actually sold all my figs just to return to the game a few months later. The itch is bad. What I ultimately decided to do though was stop buying all the bullcrapand only buy or collect what I really wanted. For instance, I now will only focus on NXT figures, sting, hulk hogan, and all of the defining moments. Those are really the only figures I care about so I finally realized it was a waste of money to buy for example, the elite Nasty Boyz when I have zero s about them.' The only time I'll deviate from my plan is if I'm going to a convention and say Kevin Nash is signing. I'll pick up a Kevin Nash figure to have him sign, and that will be it.

You'll be back - they always come back! I got out a few years ago-I was fortunate as I sold 95% of what I had and actually got most of my money back. I kept the top 5% to have a token collection. I still keep up with the boards although I rarely post and I still am interested in what is coming out-however I haven't regretted cashing in my collection. It is very possible to still love wrestling figures without buying them.
