I dont understand why people feel the need to make a thread everytime they are finished with collecting. I mean no offense to you, its not just you but if you're done then you're done. Delete yourself (if you choose not to come back) and leave. Why would I delete myself because I'm done collecting? There is plenty of people here who don't collect that just post in other boards which I plan to do. I will even still check out this board, I just won't be buying figures anymore.

Delete yourself (if you choose not to come back) and leave. All because you are done with figures does not mean you have to delete yourself. There is more boards then the figure board you know.

I hear you, on all those points. The line just doesn't excite me like it used to. I think this last Toy Fair was the kicker for a lot of people. Mainly, Jakks just isn't releasing figures I want. I would buy a Santino or a Hornswoggle, but I guess Jakks doesn't want my money that badly. There's literally nothing announced that I care about, so it looks like my collection is on hold.

Delete yourself (if you choose not to come back) and leave. Yeah, it makes you just want to post 'Who cares?' but y'know, what you said is the best advise - there's no need to bring attention to yourself.

Ok clearly we didnt read what i wrote in the lil ()...I said IF you choose not to come back, which people have done. I didnt say delete yourself, leave us alone and fall of the planet.

You need to consider yourselves lucky. I, in the UK pay about $21 per CS figure. Other people in Netherlands, Italy ETC will pay more at retail.. Just buy a few, don't go mad.

I feel the same way, I only collect BNB now as I don't buy DA. Pretty much the same with me.

Well, with gasoline in most areas in the US averaging 3.50 a gallon, and rising upwards of 4 plus.. Expect to see a price increase in EVERYTHING you buy. The economy in the United States is a disaster and it sucks greatly for our generation.
On the figure side, I can definately see why you'd become discouraged and burnt out from it. Personally, I only buy figures I really really want. I quit collecting for a good 4-5 years though from age 11/12-16/17 so that could be why my interest hasn't faded again, Im not really sure.

maybe just collect the figs you really, really like. or concentrate on a theme or era consisting of specific wrestlers you like to collect.

I rarely get figures anyways which is why I'm probably going to stop collecting for right now. But once Mattel takes over I'll have a job and will be able to afford figures so getting them wont be a problem.

Delete yourself (if you choose not to come back) and leave. I think maybe people want to get in one final goodbye or something hen they've stopped collecting. I don't really blame you man. The price increase of CS figures pissed me off. I mean they starte doff at $9.99, which I think is the perfect price. And then they jumped to $11.99 (most likely due to the increase in fuel), a bit high, but do-able. At $12.99, is really sarting to push my level of demand at retail.

ugh... another of these. never been a fan of these posts. why the hell would i give a crap if you stop collecting? no offense to you personally, this is just a tired topic for me. do people feel THAT much better for getting typical mixture of "that sucks man, well if its time, its time" and "you can give all your figz 2 me lollllzzzzzz" which always leads to the branch off thread "how long is too long to collect?". sorry, but you people dont realize the possible ramifications of a seemingly innocuous quit thread. this thread and any other threads that branch of of it are responsible for boatloads of useless information on par with a statement such as "i like figs", which is then beat to death by the same people every time this comes up. sorry, i just dont understand the sense of making an announcement like this is huge news which all must know about and comment on.

It's no different than a "new pick ups thread". I mean you could say the same thing with that. Why should people you don't know care about what figures you bought? It's not like there are many interesting topics on here a anyway and it gotten more replies than most threads on here so I guess people do care if they are replying. If no one cared it wouldn't be on the first page. If you don't like it, it's simple. Skip over the topic and don't bother reading it. You're just wasting your time by bitching.

I keep telling myself I'm done collecting the line for different reasons, but then I go out and buy a slough of figures.

90% of the time these threads are more interesting than the others on the page.
