How do people keep up collecting?

I used to collect figures but gave up when I realised how childish it was.

Anyway,

I hear you man. The thing to do is set yourself a budget.

Put £__.__ to one side each week to get WWE stuff.

Maybe this week you can afford to get four figures, but if you only buy one figure, put the rest of the money towards another series coming out or put to one side for a belt in a couple of weeks.

When it comes to figures you have to be more ruthless in your purchases. limit yourself to one figure of each person, unless their upcoming figure is so good you'd regret not buying it.

For example.. Don't buy every HBK that comes out just because its HBK. buy one of him, and then maybe get another a few months later if the attire has really changed or if its based on a completely different part of his career.

That kinda stuff.

I advise you cut back on the belt buying. buying too many is a waste of money because they will de-value each other.

I have 4, and i don't intend on buying any more any time soon. I really wish i only had two or even just one.having too many makes you appreciate them less, in my opinion.

Also, stop buying DVD's. Download or watch them on youtube. I guarantee that by the end of 08 youtube will be a different place, enjoy it whilst you can. Then, when its become impossible to view dvd's on the net, go back to buying them. I never buy DVD's because the ones i have i never watch, and if theres something i want to see i'll just go and watch it online.

Books are good because they aren't released too often and take a fair amount of time to go through. So they make it worth your money.

I collect all WWE books, magazines, mini replica belts and DVDs, but I no longer collect any figures. My main pride and joy in the collection would have to be my videos and DVDs as I collect EVERYTHING from across the globe, and have virtually every release including Exclusive US bonus discs etc. They don't come cheap but I budget to what I can afford and go from there.

The main thing is that I enjoy collecting.

I collect most collect figures, but i also collect Key-ring, The Rock merchandise and i have about 30 games so thats how.

I only buy when i can afford i am self employed so my business comes first but i buy 3 or 4 figs a month and the odd promo photo, and whenever there is abook out i will buy, i am after mick foleys new book, but it is financially a struggle and i am 23 and have no plans on stopping collecting!!!!!!.

I still buy figs (I'm 32) but wheras a few years I brought every figure I could I find now I tend to just get the figures that interest me rather than just automatically getting every fig from every set.
No way could I get every figure produced any more especially at the rate jakks is pumping them out as to much competition for my money

I still collect but not as much as I did three years ago.

I do - they are cool little DVDs.

Will you PM me if you find them or order them and I will do for you too.

On a side note what was the DVD which came with the German RA figs a while back?

I think the RA DVD pretty much had on it what was on the mini DVDs. I think there was also a feature with RVD seeing his real scans being made into figures. I didn't bother with the whole set I just bought Carlito and kept it moc, purely for the DVD.

I will also PM you regarding the mini DVDs should I find them before you.
