Re: My Beginner's Collection
My suggestion.
Stop while you still can!!!
You may think I am joking but honestly I am not. Save your money and enjoy the things you have now and walk away a healthier man. This is an addiction!!!

Two days ago, after I looked at what I spent, I cut up my credit card. Then deleted it from anything I had it stored in online. I didn't cancel the pre-orders I already nailed down, but I think I'm done until I get everything paid off. I feel like a complete idiot, but strangely I don't regret it. I think that's what scares me most. Once I have a piece in hand, any question I had about spending that money is gone.

We all feel the same way. Sorry to turn your collection thread into this but I felt it was important to say. Most of us want out but we are too deep into it. We can still save you from this hobby. You have already made a step most of us could never take.
Don't get me wrong, it can be rewarding at times but ultimately too expensive.
Great to have you around though and welcome!

Too True, welcome to the board!!!
Just remember.... buy what you REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want and you'll be a happy collector, don't ever fall into the "Well I have BATMAN, but ROBIN would look good on the shelf next to him", trap. If you don't like ROBIN, DON'T BUY HIM! Just cause BATMAN looks lonely doesn't mean you have to buy him!

I only ever buy what I really really want. Problem is, I really really want a lot of stuff. And I don't have much self control when it comes to buying stuff. I don't buy pieces just to be companion pieces, they have to be something I really like. I had to cut up my card at the insistance of a very good friend of mine who basically said "All this stuff is REALLY cool...but what the hell is wrong with you?"
I'll fix the pics when I get home from work.
