Hey I'm just curious on how you guys pay for your toys. I live paycheck to paycheck and I buy one every now and then If I have alittle extra dough. So i'd say about 10%. Does anyone here have girlfriends (or boyfriends) that limit their figure buying. My g/f seems to use up all of my money and I don't even notice it till I've spent it all on here. It's a rough life....
Later,

Around 40%. That includes Sportpicks, Movie & Music Figures.
Guess I'll have to start cutting down though.

I don't know, I mean, it's not a high percentage of my paycheck, that would be my morgtage abd bills, but I have several thousand dollars of figures in my basement and office.

Hard to say. I don't buy a new figure every week, just when I find something I want, so I'll say less than 20%. But I will admit that if I made more money, I would start buying more lines.

Well, because of space, and my general loss of interest in the line, I am cutting way down on the Star Wars items I buy. Mostly now I am only buying the premium pieces, instead of the 30th version of tatooine Luke they churn out.

I probably spend less money than I could on figures... There are so many figures out that I want, including Marvel Legends, I just need to cut down to what I want the most with the allotted money I have.

Speaking of which, did you ever order that Silver Surfer? Nope, I'll probably grab one on eBay eventually. I need a Wolverine, Punisher, Spidey, and Surfer, as those are probably my four favorites, maybe not in that order. |

If you want, I can show you the best versions of each character. |

It doesn't mean I don't want other guys too, like I forgot Daredevil on my list, he is top 5 for me. One version of a lot of different guys would be nice. I don't even have much room, and I am planning on dropping 35$ on an 18" robocop fig. |

I deliver pizza, so I usually use tip money (leftover from gas) to buy figures. The checks mainly go toward bills.

Between Marvel Legends, DC Direct, Star Wars, and Sportspicks, I am financially screwed. |

I don't really have a set amount that I spend. I just get what I want when I find it. I don't over do it.

Later, Curts Days Yeah I'm married so we both know where my money goes  I spent 15% on figures probably though though I turn around and sell the majority for profit so really only spent about 3% on myself. |

whatever i dont spend on goin to movies or live rohs shows goes strait to the figures. wwe (cs line anyways),sin city, some japanese wrestling figures and other misc figures. so roughly 50% give or take. of course it really isnt an official "paycheck". but its where i get my money from. which is doin house chores. so im only gettin like $40(if that) every other week. so like $20 to see 1 friggin movie and $20 to spend at wrestling shows(non wwe of course) and figs.
